Car Seats

Two Month Olds Are Not Meant To Be Sitting Up (Primo Viaggio)

Advantages: quick loading and unloading, solid and safe mould, generous padding
Disadvantages: much to vertical on a back seat slope, cumbersome, no adjustable back

...also clipped onto the relevant Mamas and Papas chassis to become a part of a travel system. The idea of a travel system never appealed to me at all, I think babies should spend as little time as possible within confines of a car seat and I always thought it was as easy to take the baby out of the seat as to the whole contraption out. But the idea of reducing the amount of threading was rather attractive and thus I decided to try this seat. Does it ...
...travel system with the compatible Mamas and Papas chassis. For somebody who travels on longer distances but without the need for quick and frequent loading and unloading I would recommend a traditional seat with adjustable back rest or at least one in which the baby is closer to a horizontal position. And of course, for people with two cars or people with no car who might want to take a travel system somewhere by public transport and then scrounge ...

Review of Mamas & Papas Primo Viaggio Car Seat

Really safe & comfortable for baby - he falls asleep!

Advantages: Strong, safe, really comfortablt, baby loves sleeping in it, fits many pushchairs
Disadvantages: Quite heavy and fairly expensive

Like most other expectant mums, I was completely bewildered by the selection of car seats on the market before my little boy was born. In the end I chose the Maxi Cosi Cabrio car seat as I felt it was the safest on the market and compatible with the icandy pushchair I had chosen. I am thrilled with my choice, it has been worth every penny. My baby was only 5lb 11oz when born and although he was tiny, I felt he was very safe in this seat. It is very ...
...little boy absolutely loves this seat as it is really comfortable for him. He is now 6 months old and he was only ever cried twice in the car - he usually falls alseep within a couple of minutes! I have been known to take him round the block to calm him down. If he is awake in the seat and it is on a hard floor (say in a shop) he loves rocking himself backwards and forwards and there is a built-in sun canope which attaches to the handle - very handy ...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

All you will need from birth to four years!

Advantages: Sturdy, safe feeling and comortable.
Disadvantages: None that I have encountered.

I wish I'd had it from birth - this is a lovely car seat, comfy, sturdy and fits in my car! I really like the feel of the material, it's very easy to get baby in and out and it will last for a few years at least. I has a soft, padded insert for newborns, the shoulder pads are not too stiff, it's easy to adjust the straps and my baby seems really comfy in it . It is rear facing for up to nine months and then goes forward facing after that. Good ...

Review of Britax First Class

Maxi Cosi Car Seat

Advantages: Very easy to use features. Very cosi for your little one.
Disadvantages: Non that I can find.

...it is secure. The maxi cosi has 2 seating positions (sleep and upright). The recline can be made with a simple one handed movement of a handle situated at the front under the seat. This is simlar to how you would adjust your own seat in a car and very smooth and easy to move. My daughter is definatley 'maxi cosi' in this seat so therefore I will conclude with a 10/10 rating. ...

Review of Maxi Cosi Tobi

Eclipse deserves it's good reputation

Advantages: very padded and comfortable
Disadvantages: needs a wide (standard seat ) to install safely and needs a strong arm too!

We bought the Eclipse SI in the january sales and patiently waited for the boy to weigh enough to install it. Three months later he hit the requisite 19lbs and he has never been happier. I have a 2 seater SUV (without airbag) and hubby has a hatchback so we have tested the car seat in the front and back and it works very well. You do need a bit of weight behind you to press the seat in firmly when first installing - if you are a lady on your own ...
...I would look for something lighter - but once it is installed it is very convenient, easy to get in and out and now i have the hang of it, little one does not even wake up when i get him out when we get home. There are two settings but we leave it tilted back as a default and the boy is comfortable and can still see what's going on. I am very pleased with this purchase and it was very reasonably priced too. ...
