my dad wants to buy it.

its rubbish IMO.

get the britax kid.

where is your dad? i have one you can buy off me for £20. am in herts

oh the highliner even

It scores really poorly in safety tests - so much so that we went and bought ds another (we had won one of the graco ones).

Don't think it rated highly safety wise in Which ? but probably no worse than many of similar price. If he could find a Britax HiLiner (around £35 in Tesco a week or two ago) it is a "better" seat.

We have this one and dd has used it since she was 3 and half. Now 5. The cup holders are great! Why is it rubbish?

£10 more but so much better

would agree with misdee we had one of these and got rid of it and got the hiliner

it did really badly in tests cece. in fact IIRC it was amongst that ones that they deemed extremely unsafe and shouldnt be sold.

i have a highliner for sale. 6months oldbarely used as was in my little car. sold the car so have spare seats.

Surely they shouldn't be allowed to make it or sell it if it were that unsafe

it meets safety requirment, but which? do a test each year for the best and worst car seats.

We have that one too, simply could not afford a better one.

It can't be that bad else it wouldn't be on sale.

Has anyone got the current Which report, what do they recomend for high back boosters? Am thinking of getting another one for when new law comes in. Quite a lot seem to be on special offer at the moment.

Have told him to hold off. We are not going to the UK until next year so there is no great rush.

Thanks for the offer Misdee, but given the timescale I think you should sell it to someone else.
