Silver Cross Explorer Isofix

I have the sport version of this seat for my 9 month old daughter. My husband and I bought it a month ago and are already looking to replace it and return this seat to Silver Cross.

The seat looks good and seems comfortable enough once our daughter is in it but getting her into the seat is another matter. First of all you have to struggle to get the buckle and straps out of the way so you can get the child in the seat then comes the worst bit trying to tighten the straps is a nightmare and we have to use brute force to do so as the tensioner at the front of the seat doesn't work. With ours we have to reach under the seat and pull the straps tight and then pull the tensioner so that the straps are straight, it takes me around 5 minutes to load my daughter into the seat not good if its raining.

It was easy enough to fit but the instruction manual was useless and we had to pretty much work it out for ourselves. Apparently we should be able to use the seat in our car without the rear tether but the seat wobbled so much we are using the tether and it is still a bit wobble.

This seat is badly designed and I would not recommend anyone buying it.
