Just starting to have a look at the 9 month + car seats and am a bit stumped - what should I be looking for in the product information bit on websites?
So far my criteria is this:
Needs to be lightweight (as much as possible, anyway, I can't drive myself so using lightness as a gauge of how easy it will be to transfer to different cars - is this a good way to tell?)
Needs to not be the most expensive car seat going, I'm sure the cheaper ones are just as safe.
Should recline, I think, for sleeping?
Should not be one which converts for an older child, because the recline isn't as good, right?
Does not need isofix, we haven't got it anyway.
Needs to be from a brand with good reputation as it needs to last for 2 children.
Any other pointers? We have got a DS aged 4 months at the moment (hence only just starting to look) and we plan to have more children in the future, the plan is when #2 gets to 9 months, we will buy a convertible seat which goes from 9 months to 11 years and DS will go into that where #2 will have DS' seat which we are buying now.
