I'm after a RF seat that goes from birth -4 RF... I need an isofix one and a non isofix one. I've read about one on here that the baby bit clips out? Any help appreciated!

must be RF to 4 :-)

hi, the kiss car seat is from birth to 4 years(18kgs) and is isofix and can be fitted with a seat belt too. i had to fit it with a seat belt in my dads car and it was as tight as the isofix which surprised me. you can remove the seat part for babies but i never really got used to it as i found the carry handles stiff to pull in and out, although this might change with more use(think i used it about 5 times like this), i preferred my cabrio for baby stage.

i also have the britax hi-way ii which is suitable from birth to 25kgs and is seat belt only. i got it when ds2 was about 6 months. had i have known about it before he was born i would probably have used it from birth. it has 3 preset recline positions and you can also get a wedge to put under it which reclines it more. i find this seat really stable when it's fitted.

It is a great seat!Grin I love mine and wish I'd got it as my first seat. I bought it when my daughter was 7 months old and I can still carry her into the house in the infant carrier bit at 13 months/9.5kg. I love the easy recline adjustment, so if she's just woken up, I can make her sit more upright and vice versa. I also think the fact it's both isofix and non-isofix is great.

If you want me to rave about it a bit more, just let me know! WinkGrin

Thank you guys! The Kiss looks like the way to go me thinks, that's the most compact one out of the lot too by the looks of it? It's going in an 08 seat ibiza and an 02 ford focus (both 3 doors cars Hmm )

the hi-way and the KISS are both compact apparently. i have had the KISS in the back of mil's 3 door seat ibiza,but not my hi-way yet! it's not that bad in a 3 door car once they can climb in by themselves! Wink

Mine's in a 3 door Peugeot 207 behind the driver's seat. It's not too bad getting the seat or baby in/out. Unless my daughter and niece are both in the back with rear facing seats (luckily, my daughter's plenty small enough to go in a normal infant carrier) and there's about this ---- much space for my not-so-small bum to fit in. Hmm
