Budget Group 1 2 3 car seat for very occasional use?

[TheScottishPlayer]

As the title says really - we're looking for a budget group 123 car seat for very very occasional use. I'm talking maybe once or twice a year tops. It's for when we visit friends at the other end of the country and will stay at their house.

Any suggestions? It's for a nearly 4 year old btw.

Any car seat experts catching up on MN over breakfast?

...or maybe having a MN catch up on the sofa...

what weight is your lo? If they are over 15kgs then they could use a group 2/3 seat which would give you more options. If your lo is nearly 18kgs then I wouldnt get a 123 seat as the harness is only suitable up to 18kgs at which point you would switch to using it with the car seatbelt instead

also what is your budget?

Thanks Seona1973! He's a

If your anywhere near peterborough, or maybe try the website? we picked up our britax evolva 123+ for £80 as it was end of line colour/fabrics. The 123 was £65/70. It was around april aswell they seem to change colours for summer

I'm a fairly long way from Peterbrough. The cheapest I've seen the britax 123 online so far is around £99.

mothercare have a selection under £70.

Thanks, I'll have a look.
