[suzywong]

or can anyone point ne to a thread that has covered this?
also looking for a comfy booster seat for 3yr old

TIA

britax.....cant remember what type though
be careful with second hand car seats however

We've got a Britax Renaissance. Quite expensive but ds seems to like it.

good point - is that incase they have been in a prang?

we have the one aunty mabel has too....got £50 off though!
halfords do good deals in britax ones...there are afew 'lesser' models - my mum has one for our ds.....look up britax

oh my god \link{http://store.yahoo.com/barebabies-store/brporolacars.html\this{ one is called popsicle!!!

oh my god this one is called popsicle!!!

my goodnes Popsy you are thorough!

DH is pointing out (kicking up a fuss) that DS2, although hefty, is only 4 months old and not sitting by himself yet and therefore we need to take that in to consideration.

Now what do you say?

anyone else?

You should keep your ds rear-facing for as long as possible - there have been threads about this before, type in -rear-facing in the search area. I think in America it's even illegal to have a child forward-facing before they're 12 months old. And I wouldn't have a second-hand car seat unless I could trust the people I got it from, as a seat isn't safe anymore if it's been in a crash.
Apart from that I can tell you that we have the Britax Eclipse and are very happy with it!

thanks!

Maxi cosi priori here too - fab and really easy to put in/out

Britax Renaissance fan here. Reclines really well and even I can get the seatcover off for washing. Plus it has a clip-on tray for older users to crayon, eat crisps and vomit on to if necessary. Otherwise we'd have chosen the Maxi-Cosi, I think it's also a very good seat.

We've got Maxi Cosi Rodi booster with back for our ds (now 5). The headrest adjusts as they grow and you can remove the back so it is just a booster cushion later. For 15kg +

We have the Britax Duo (ISOFIX model) and that reclines but, have to say, not that much. It is very good though and so so secure.

Hi

You could try the britax first class if your baby is only 4 months. it is a car seat suitable from birth to approx 4 years and it can be either rear or forward facing. have no experience of this but am considering it for a baby i mind. it is on the mothercare website at £100 instead of £120. Hope this helps.

I've got the bebe confort which came out well in safety tests as did the maxi cosi and one of the britax. Kiddicare.com usually have the cheapest new ones so it's worth a look

I really must change this christmas name!
