Ok, so bear in mind that I'm 35 wks, my dad died two months ago and we moved house last week. Normally I could deal with this sort of thing easily (by shouting) but the freaking car seat seems like it's going to be the thing that sends me over the edge.
I bought the icandy cherry after research and recommendations, primarily because it's light (I have a bad back) and fits in my Mini One, and I wanted one that you could slot the car seat into.
So this means I need a maxi-cosi car seat. Easy peasy.
So today I go to mothercare to buy the bloody car seat and they say, well actually, mini one doesn't feature on the list of cars the maxi cosi isofix will fit. You need to ring mini to see if they will let you fit it.
And sure enough, Mini One does not even appear as an option for fitting on the Maxi-Cosi website. (Cooper does).
So I ring mini - both the dealer and the national line - and neither of them know what I'm going on about.
Plus, it hardly seems like the most reliable thing in the world to have a phone conversation with the car manufacturer. Surely you need a written guarantee to have any kind of comeback if there's a problem?
So WTF am I supposed to do and WHYTF is this so complicated?
