New seat and sickness?

Coincidence or something in it?

I moved Dd from maxi cosi pearl rear facing into maxi cosi assix spin, still rear facing.

Two days later she was sick everywhere, I thought maybe a bug. Few journeys since and fine, then today sick everywhere again.

Change was due to me struggling to get her in safely, I'm pregnant and the lift was awkward without the turn seat. Also baby seat can go onto that base.

Anyone had this happen?

Always been good in car and we are rural so need to be able to go places.

That's odd. Have you tried her back in the previous seat? It could just be a coincidence and not related to the seat at all. If she's around two apparently travel sickness can begin around that age.

BTW the rear facing limit on the Axiss is 87cm, which is less than the Pearl seats - they can be rear facing right up to 105cm. Just in case you were unaware!

Thanks @BertieBotts. Yeah we have a wonderful local shop and fitting service and she's good to go until into high back booster.

Thinking was both close in age so worst case I can move her back into pearl and baby into this one when baby out of newborn. Both be in these at some point but bump hindering my lift at present.

We went on a two hour trip in it Wednesday, no issue at all so I'm hoping a coincidence. In car every day and just these two incidents, both in new seat though.

Pleased you think it's odd as well. It does sit slightly lower but that's the only difference.

She bounces around farm in one no bother and has never been sick. Hopefully I'm overthinking.

Yes I thought that - you could just swap them back :)

Sitting lower could be an issue - is the headrest attached on the seat it's installed on? You could try taking it off if so, it gives them a clearer view out of the back window, which can help with travel sickness.
