Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc.
What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100.
How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable.
Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much more space so your baby can fit in the seat for longer. They are a nice shape, I've seen some car seats which leave your baby hunched up but this one doesn't do that.
Are they practical? Definitely. You can easily get the car seat in and out of the car so you don't even have to wake your baby up. They have a handle which pulls forward and a sunhood which you can pull over and attach to the handle. This is something which has come in really useful we have found. The straps are easy to adjust an tighten and there is a very handy little 'cupboard' in the seat too which makes great use of the extra space so we often keep a spare emergency nappy or two in there. They also easily clip onto sets of wheens such as the maxi cosi and the quinny.
Can you clean them? They are quite awkward to clean as they are fabric so it can be difficult to scrub with warm soapy water but we have done this several times and the seat is still in good condition.
Would you recommend/ I definitely would. This is a car seat which is really useful. It is well worth paying a little extra for this car seat as it is the safest on the market
