At the risk of sounding like a terrible cheapskate: I am on the lookout for an inexpensive car seat for 9 months plus. There was a fab one that some one linked to here a few months ago for £50, but I didn't watch the link and can no longer remember what/where it was...
While searching I found this one
cgi.ebay.co.uk/-Watch-me-Grow-Car-seat--9-months-12-years!!-Save-%a3%a3%a3s!_W0QQitemZ250492595915QQ cmdZViewItem What does the mumsnet jury think?
Basically, DH and I don't have a car and don't have friends who do, but occasionally we take DD1 (now 10 months) in a taxi, and need a trustworthy seat for that (the firms I have contacted for short trips never have a car seat as they say they are not legally obliged to).
Would any 9 months plus seat be the kind you can strap in just with a seatbelt? And would they be light enought for me to lug on a train journey (DD1 on one hip, bag over shoulder, holding car seat) that we have to take before a typical cab journey that we do?
I don't want to compromise DD1's safety, but we need this seat so rarely, I don't want to needly less spend loads that we don't have ... and alas, no one to borrow off either...
Sorry for the essay [worried emoticon].
