Hello. Can anyone recommend a suitable car seat for my tall 21 month old toddler? We don't have a car but regularly hire cars through Streetcar. We usually hire a VW Touran.
My partner and I are both bad at things like fitting car seats. Using a hire car, there is a lot of fitting and removing of the seat to be done. So it is essential that it is easy to fit correctly - and comes with good instructions!
The whole subject seems very complicated. I would have liked a rear-facing seat (because they seem safer). But I have been advised by a company that sells these that they are quite difficult and time-consuming to fit; and that, if fitted incorrectly, they are less safe than forward-facing seats. There also seem to be various complications to do with the type of car. Some are not compatible with the Touran, for example.
Any suggestions based on the following features would be appreciated!
- Safety;
- How easy to fit; and
- Compatibility with the VW Touran.
Thanks!
