TBH I would be buying a carrycot. You still have a lot of weeks use left from one and it would be better for the development of your LO to be laid flat rather than in a car seat or a seat unit too soon.

Still using carrycot it's just on odd days when I'm going town or somewhere and as she been screaming in car seat don't really want to try shopping with her in it and can't put carrycot in car as no room

Can't you put the carrycot on the back seat and frame in the boot, or the other way around? The oyster seat really isn't suitable at such a tiny age, you could cause her problems with her spine.

No as I don't really have a boot as I have a zafira so frame only just fits in the little boot

too small I'd say.
but my 10 week old likes to cry around the shops often in the carrycot. I think it is just what babies do. she likes a good walk otherwise - its just shopping!

Some days DS just didn't like his car seat or carrycot. I used to take a soft Moby sling with me and carry him if he wanted to be close to me.

Can you get a little umbrella fold pushchair that lies fully flat? It will come in handy when you go on holidays in future. Then use the oyster seat from six months and carry on using carry cot when you aren't going in your car.

I've looked at a smaller pushchair for car but don't really like any and want baby facing me and most small pushchairs don't have this option.

Did you get the head hugger with your oyster? My dd went into the seat unit at 12 weeks as she screamed in the carrycot because she couldn't see what was going on, put it facing you & lay it as far back as you can with the head hugger in, it took some fiddling about but I finally managed to sort it all out & dd loves being able to look around now! HTH
