We bought a car seat which is quite heavy and doesn’t have a handle, a Joie one that has a huge heavy seat and clicks into an isofix base. Literally impossible to safely carry around with a newborn inside. For my previous kids, they said we couldn’t leave without baby in a car seat. Does this mean a midwife is going to have to walk us out to the the car park to check we have a car seat? Will they even do that? Or are they likely to make us go and quickly buy a cheap one of the kind you can carry around? We bought the kind we did because it adjusts to fit older children so we thought we’d rather get one that we could use for years than keep buying bigger ones
