hello

was wondering what rf car seats you have? have been told that the only 2 that will fit in my car is the britax 2 way elite and brio zento.

the 2 way elite doesn't look like it has much side protection and i don't have anywhere to see the brio zento. have spoken to vicky in the essex safety centre and she has said it is just as safe.

have emailed the swedish shop about the mobi but haven't heard back.

please tell me which you have and would recommend as ds is fast growing out of his baby seat.

thank you.

Glad to hear you've managed to find one more cheaply! I find it really shocking that a company would put such an enormous profit margin on a piece of child safety equipment

I had to go to a try it out in our car because there was a real possibility that it wouldn't fit without the passenger seat being so far forward that my knees would touch the dashboard. Luckily I'm only short and it was fine.

yes i was and too. it was on a site with special needs equipment so that makes it even worse! and as people don't really know about these seats they will probably assume as they are listed as 'special needs seats' that they actually cost this and they must purchase from these sites. found some in the uk too who were looking over £1000.00 for them! also their advice was crap, all of them told me that all car seats fit in all cars!
