I have a 6mth old who will be going from the original newborn maxi cosi car seat to the next stage (9kg up) seat shortly.
So far the one's I've seen all have a very heavy/sturdy base which you clip a seat into. This seat can potentially then go into a pram (I think).
They are very heavy and bulky. Not to mention looking very permanent.
The thing is...
I only need a seat for visiting friends in the countryside. I would probably use this max 12 times a year.
I generally catch a train to a station near them and they pick us up, drive a 20min distance to their place (no other option). If I'm lucky they drive us home (1 1/2 hours drive).
Ideally I need something which I can carry (along with the pram, overnight gear, etc).
Alternatively, is there something I can clip onto the buggie (to replace the seat) which will convert (similar idea to the maxi cosi)?
