Recommendations for small, light, cheap car seat for occasional grandparents use please.

I go back to work in a few weeks and my mum will be looking after dc's sometimes, it will be easier for her to have a car seat rather than sharing ours, I need to buy a group 1 seat for ds (almost 9mths, 9kgs+) She'll only be doing about 12 miles per week for the school run and she has a yaris so I need something small, and easy to remove, cost is a factor, I'll pay more for ours as it will be used alot but for little use cost is a factor. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If I were you I'd get a group 0/1 seat. It's much safer for a child to be rear facing as long as possible and having a group 0/1 seat would mean you could keep your daughter rear facing until she hits 13kg and then turn her forward facing. Here's a very cheap option at £40. The side impact protection looks quite good on this seat which it often isn't on a group 0/1 seat for some reason.

Thank you, that looks good, we have a similar seat (Britax First Class) for DH's car, I'll give them a ring and see if it fits the Yaris.

If you want ease of use and lightweight, the Kiddy Infinity Pro is very good. It's also quite intuitive to use to grandparent-friendly! It's not the cheapest thing there is but about the same price as the First Class I think.

Other than that it's worth looking at seats which are reduced like the one aswellas has posted rather than the ultra-cheap seats, Nania, Babystart etc.
