Concorde Car Seat

Advantages: Light, easily cleaned, adjustable to fit individual child height.
Disadvantages: Not found any yet!

I've used this car seat for several years now. My son is 9 and at 4 ft 8in he still fits into it. He's a sturdy lad as well. I know it seems like I'm wrapping him in cotton wool but we were in a very serious accident and I have no doubt at all that this car seat was the reason why my son came out of the crash virtually unscathed. The policeman who attended the scene was full of admiration for the seat and the paramedic having checked my son over ...
...The accident split my car in two (we were hit side on by a drunk driver going 70 mph in a 30 mph zone). My son had two small scratches on his face from flying glass and that was it. Although its not cool for a 9 year old boy to be in a car seat, this one does have credibility. It looks like a race car drivers seat and most of his friends tend to want to sit in it as its comfortable. Its very easily transferred from car to car being so light and he ...

Review of Concord Lift Evo PT Child Car Seat

Concord Trimax - Colourful, spacious and good value

Advantages: Lots of colours to coordinate with your car and good value
Disadvantages: Although easy to adjust, it took a couple of attempts to get the hang of it

...shopped and came accross the CONCORD TRIMAX in Mothercare. It was suitable from 8 months which was when he would stop using his baby seat. Cost: around £90-£120 depending on the store and sales Colours: many available including Kiwi, Miami pink, aqua blue and grey / white and red. It looked stylish (if a car seat could actually look stylish!!) and it came in a range of colours. We decided on a lightblue with red and grey trim. The seat comprises ...
...the booster seat and the sit / recline adjustment section. The approximate age is 8 months to 4 years. The TRIMAX seat is supplied with a harness system fixed on the back rest which easy to use. The seat can be placed in a sitting or reclined position. To adjust it to either position, it is simply a case of clicking a button and pulling or pushing the seat. I would say it's so easy to do that even a child could do it but I am sure they are designed ...

Review of Concord Trimax

silver cross ventura, bulky and hardwork

Advantages: comfy for baby, secure in car
Disadvantages: heavy, bulky, hard to get in car

...seat as I had the Silver Cross 3d, so I wanted to use car seat as part of the travel system. This car seat is very heavy, so moving it in and out of the car can be hard work. I have another car seat which is much lighter. Very tricky to attach into the car with the seatbelt, especially if you have short seatbelts, cars with longer seatbelts make it alot easier. It is quite noisy, what I mean is, if my baby fell asleep in the car, and I wanted ...

Review of Silver Cross Ventura

Maxi Cosi Make It Maxi Easy At A Maxi Price

Advantages: Makes getting an infant into and out of the car a doddle.
Disadvantages: Pricey.

...we invested in a new Maxi Cosi Cabrio car seat for our newborn son, I resigned myself to at least another year of back seat ballet. However, my resourceful wife informed me of a product called “Easybase” which allows the car seat to be clicked in place very simply, without the seatbelt. Intrigued and hopeful, I decided to investigate. WHAT IS IT? Easybase is a heavy base suitable for most cars which uses the three point seat belt on the back ...
...base for compatible car seats. Maxi Cosi car seats have two metal bars underneath, and these easily click in to the retaining mechanism. It is available on Amazon for £71.50, and also comes in a more expensive Isofix version (£92.69). It is suitable for children up to 13 kilos (up to about a year old). HOW IS IT FITTED? At 11 kilos, the Easybase is very heavy – a feature that ensures a solid platform for the car seat. Our version was simply ...

Review of Maxi Cosi Easybase

Mamas and Papas Pro-Tour, in my opinion potential death trap

Advantages: it hides the dirt well
Disadvantages: an expensive waste of money that, in my experience, isn't fit for its purpose

I know it's a very emotive title but I really think it's an accurate one. We bought the exact model pictured about approx 18 months ago (117 GBP) and although it was never an easy seat to use (the 5 point harness twisted all too easily) we could at least trust it to be safe. However, since moving to the next stage where the cars 3 point harness comes into play we discovered that when our daughter leans forward to pick something up (and all children ...
...is so badly designed that it stops the seat belt from retracting and thus effectively left our daughter in an unrestrained seat. We've tried it on 2 makes of car (although to be honest I don't see why we should have to!) a Fiat and a Toyota and the result was exactly the same in each one and even then we even went so far as to try fitting it on drivers and passenger sides with no change. The seat was then returned to our nearest M&P outlet where ...
