I am almost a month into being separated from my wife. I am finding life very difficult now, but have started to sleep better in the last few days and taking each day and challenge as it comes. As my wife has our car with the baby seat in,i really need to get one for my small company van. My boss is fine with this so there is no problem there. I am looking for a good cheap one,that is quick and easy to install,and then take out again,as it won't be in my van permanentely. I mainly have our 2 year & 3 month old daughter from friday lunchtime untill sunday teatime every weekend, as well as sometimes in the week. So this is why i need the cheapest ,best safest child seat that can go in and out quickly with no fuss or hassle!

One i have found on Halfords website is a 'Team Tex Basic Comfort Child Car Seat'. This is £42.50 online,but there are no reviews for it. It looks fine and great
and comes in shadow fushia(a kind of pink) so perfect for my daughter!

Any help on this would be much appreciated

You know you need two different seats for those age groups, don't you? You only mention one seat ...

The team tex one looks like it's front facing - rear facing is much much safer for smaller babies.

I have this for my 3 yo dd, had it over a year so she would have been about your dd's age

I can't link as I am using my phone but on the kiddicare website there is a seat called Britax Prince. It is currently half price for £58. Britax is a trusted brand and it has many reviews. I wouldn't buy the seat you linked to. It's cheap and will only meet minimum crash test requirements. Kiddicare have always given me excellent service and usually the cheapest price. If you put Britax Prince in the search bit it should come up! Hope that helps.
