We have dd in a rear facing be safe izi combi isofix in my car and in a britax first class (fitted rear facing) in my husband's car. She's 2yr1m and weighs 9 and a bit or maybe 10kg. Her legs are a bit too squashed in the britax as a rear facing seat (it's group 0-1 RF so ok to 13kg and althought she's light she's not all that short)and whilst I've read all the stuff about leg position not mattering she's also a pain to get into it because of the seatbelt position across the side of the seat which means that if she starts protesting about getting in the car (we have to lift her in this one whereas she can climb into the besafe herself)there's no way to get her in and when you do she's yanked the seatbelt loose and you have to retighten it. she'll also reach out and grab the seatbelt whilst she's getting out loosening the fitting.
My mum occasionally has her for a day or 2 and we have started needing to get a girl from nursery and a neighbour to bring her home and look after her one night a week. They find fitting the britax into their cars a nightmare when rear facing especially actually getting b into it.
I'm torn between buying a britax TWE which is supposed to be easier to swap between cars or getting a kiddy infinity seat. husband wants to use the britax first class forward facing but I am not that convinced as I really wanted her ERF til at least aged 3.
The kiddy infinity seems to go up to aged 12 so would probably get bought when she outgrew the besafe anyway. Has anyone else been through this? if so wjat did you do any why?
