I'm due a new niece in August and I will likely be taking her out every now and then, as I often do with my niece and nephews now. However, I only started taking them out in the car when the youngest was almost two, so I had a group 1-3 seat which did fine.
Now of course I'll need something suitable for a newborn. I don't really want to be paying a lot of money because it will be very occasional trips and they won't be far, certainly until she's older. Having looked at the choices I figured a group 0/1 seat would be best as if the new one is anything like her sister she will be tiny, so I don't want to have to stick her in the 1-3 seat as soon as she hits 13kg because I think she'll be uncomfortable in that for a long time.
But from the reviews I'm reading, all the complaints seem to be that 0/1 seats really aren't great for newborns. Lots of people saying their newborns or even four or six month olds were lost and uncomfortable in them, and this baby is likely to be small for a long time so I don't really want to subject her to that.
Are there decent (and not hugely expensive, as in probably less than eighty quid) 0/1 seats that are actually good enough for newborns? Or will I have to bite the bullet and get a 0+ and then possibly a 0/1 when she is bigger?
