Worried about safety - Chicco Synthesis

[LeoniPoni]

Hi everyone!

I'm 38 weeks pregnant with DC1, and DF and I have bought a Britax Isofix carseat that we have ftted into the car. It feels really sturdy and secure, so we are delighted with it.

A friend of mine has bought us a Chicco Synthesis carseat and as we live with DF's parent's we thought it'd be ideal to use in their cars. We have tried it out, following the instructions exactly and it is so wobbly and unstable feeling, sometimes slipping out of the carseat when wiggled. We've spent a good couple of hours trying to get it right and it never feels any sturdier or secure.

At the moment I would never let LO travel in it, I was just wondering if anyone has this seat, whether we're doing something wrong, it's a bad seat or it simply feels unsteady compared to the Britax?

Trawled the net looking for reviews and can't find 1! Very strange!

Try ringing your local council and speaking to the road safety team. Ours allows you to make an appointment to pop along with your car and car-seat and they'll check it's fitted correctly.

Is this it: here

We've just gone from an isofix stage 0+ to a stage 1 belt fitted and it is fiddly to fit. We're off to get it checked out to be sure we've fitted it firmly.
