We live in the UK and do not own a car. We have an urban kanga for short taxi journeys/travel. We have a Britax that's much bigger that was given to us by a friend which we've been using for longer car journeys or when we hire a car etc. I've just realized it's expired
I guess we don't technically need this second car seat as we have the urban kanga but DP and I feel better about using a sturdier rear facing seat for longer journeys. Son is 12kg and 22 months.
We are going to the USA next month for 2 weeks. Urban Kanga not legal there.
So basically we are thinking we should get a new seat. Maybe buy one in the states?
It's frustrating that they are so expensive and we rarely drive. I've seen ones online that are multistage so good to 12 years, but am I right in thinking they'd expire before my son turned 12 anyway?
I guess I'm just looking for tips advice on what kind of seat would be good for us. I feel kind of clueless.
