Hi
Does anyone have any recommendations on car seats? We inherited (from family, no accidents) a 1 year old maxi cosi caribo car seat but find it has the head rest, back support and sun shade missing. Buying these items will cost about £50-£60 plus shipping. I'm now thinking I can buy a new one for £99 so why not buy the whole thing new? Then I started looking at other car seats available thinking, well why not choose our own and realised there is so much choice ranging from seats which only last a year to ones that last up to 12 years.
So, please let me know if you have any good or bad experiences with any particular car seats and roughly the price they are.
We have a belted base with a leg that touches the floor of the car with this car seat which I hear is an absolute must, but a lot of the seats I'm seeing don't offer a base structure so wonder if it's really necessary? It's great that this seat has this base unit always in place but I'm not fussed about keeping it if we can find a suitable seat which doesn't require one.
Any advice is appreciated.
P.S. We have 9 days before baby arrives so need to get it sorted ASAP.
