We took ages to decide which type of car seat we wanted - one to install and leave or one that you'd be able to carry baby around in. Further research and we decided an install and leave would be more appropriate as we could get more use out of it (newborn to about 4 yrs) and then easily use a sling/baby carrier. Of the 0+ class of seats we looked at we were most impressed by the Britax First Class for its good safety reviews and the length of use we should be able to get straight from birth. And we've not been disappointed. Easy to install and remove, looks comfortable for little Siún, not too heavy but you wouldn't want to be carrying it around, nice finish and generally feels sturdy. It is a little bit on the big side, and the set up means that in the newborn position a seat belt sits in the way slightly but other than that we've been very pleased with the purchase. Yes it's pricey but the make and feel of it should mean we won't need to get another one until child number 2 appears....

Good start for a review, especially on the side of your personal experience. As a mum in the market for a new car seat i would have liked info on what it looks like, its size, how its installed, what safety features it has, what size baby it will hold, price and availability. Car seats can be such a minefield its nearly impossible to konw which is the right one.
