Advantages: stylish, very safe, can use with pushchair, baby can be rear-facing for longer Disadvantages: a tight fit in small cars (but it can be done!)
We have just stopped using our Creatis, after about a years use. It was quite an expensive choice, but definitely well worth the money. It has lasted well and the only fault is that the blue cover behind one of the seat belt guides seems to have slipped down and exposed the polystyrene, but as it was normally protected by the rain cover in wet weather I don't think it was a problem. It fitted my baby well from birth up to a year (it would have done ... ...forward facing car seat so we can keep an eye on her), she was always well supported but also with freedom of movement for her arms and legs. It looks stylish with its curved plastic casing, and keeps baby really safe with the side impact protection. Its padded seat looks really comfortable for baby, and it has a small wedge cushion which attaches with velcro to make a flatter lying position for the first few months. Although it is not totally flat ...

Advantages: Very safe and newborn lies quite flat too Disadvantages: Quite long so can be a squeeze in some cars
When we set out to buy a pushchair (read the Loola review for that instalment) the carseat part seemed already sorted (or so we thought).
We had Isofix in the car and only Britax made an Isofix newborn car seat. All the scare stories about many car seats being unsafely fitted by parents had us worried enough to want one which offered complete simplicity and peace of mind.
Anyhow, our eventual choice of pushchair (Loola) had a matching car seat ... ...had a cushion insert to lie newborns almost flat, both of which really appealed.( In reality the baby has a straight back but has to bend at the neck where the harness straps go over the shoulder, fine for travel but not ideal as a place to sleep for young babies.)
We had a go at strapping a Creatis in our Micra just to see if it was difficult. We had already tried the Prima Viaggio, Cosy Tot and Cosy Tot Isofix and the Creatis was clearly the easiest ...

Advantages: FULL ACCIDENT PROTECTION Disadvantages: NONE REALLY - JUST THE SUN CANOPY NEEDS REMOVING WHEN BABY GETS OLDER
...my 3 children and the Bebe Confort Creatis stands out from the rest (safety wise) by a mile in every way. Firstly I have read the reviews that other parents have put on this site and I do not agree with some of them. The creatis car seat offers the best position for baby when travelling by car in the event of an accident - in every direction and its side impact is outstanding and I feel is the best. Yes it is like an egg shell/bucket seat but this ... ...kept amused etc. The bebe confort creatis will last a baby through until they are ready for a forward facing car seat which I will stand by recommending at the age of 9 months (depending on weight of child) as any longer they are overflowing the car seat and in my opnion I do not deem it the safest option to travel. The car seat will last you through until then. It is also very easy to carry. As I have previously mentioned I have had a few different ...

Advantages: safe and comfortable Disadvantages: very difficult to take out and put in car
The car seat itslef is very good, very confortable to sit in, im taking that from the absence of crying from my little one!. It is very easy to put onto the loola pushchair as well and its really good that it comes with the canopy included. However it is the most difficult car seat i have ever fitted into the car, the lap part of the belt goes underneath the car seat rather than across it and to be honest i dont know how you are supposed to do it ... ...whole point of these portable baby carriers. I would imagine if the baby is very young and by that i mean maybe under three months then they might sleep through all the moving and heaving you have to do to fit it but any older than that and you would probably wake them up. However the other features of the seat are very good, i found it very sturdy indeed and as my little one was quite long in her body it was good to see that at 11 months she still ...

Creatis by Bebe Confort is a very trendy looking car seat. We have iy in grey 02. Sound boring. But as a colour is perfect. Stylish, aluminum-like, site. it has black accent of fabric and red piping. Suitable for boys and girl (if ou planning more in the future this colour is great!)
You bought is a part of the travel system. We have Elite pushchair in the same grey 02. I bought it reasonable cheap form the main distributer (Dorel). Also the grandparents ... ...as I could find including umbrella, changing back, 2 raincovers... The car seat came at the price of £45 (retail about £98), raincover was £10 (retail £15)

Advantages: safe and sturdy Disadvantages: quite large
i bought this car seat to go with the Loola it is a very solid car seat and i love the way it is designed to have the baby lay as flat as possible.
there is a wedge in the bottom to help position baby in a flatter position this can be removed as baby gets older it is very cosy and we bought the cosytoes for it as i will use it quite often through the winter
only thing i didnt like was the trip home from hospital with new baby i hadnt tried it out ... ...so would suggest anybody try it in car first.
one very good thing is if it is in car the belt secures under the seat rather than over the baby which makes taking baby in and out of car seat as easy as anything.
it is also very esy to attach to pushchair chassis.
you can buy it at mothercare but i did an online search so i could get more colour choice and got a good deal at kiddisave.
we have a ford galaxy so a large car however have used it in ...

Advantages: Easy to fit and use, fits awkward seats Disadvantages: Quickly outgrown
It was a sad day when our son outgrew this car seat. Travelling with a baby is so easy with a Creatis Confort car seat!
My car is small, and it was awkward to find a car seat to fit it. I already knew that I wanted the Loola pushchair, so I persuaded the sales assistant to try and fit this car seat. Thankfully it fitted perfectly, and has securely fitted in all cars that I have used.
The Creatis Confort is a relatively stylish car seat, and co-ordinates ... ...used in this way, the car seat simply clicks onto the chassis, and away you go. To return the seat (and usually the sleeping baby) to the car, there are just two buttons which release the seat.
The Creatis Confort securely cradles baby, and we had no problems with our son's head tilting forwards. It should last until 9 months, but our 'long' son outgrew it by 5. There is a booster cushion for babies up to 3 months which raises baby to a safer position. ...

Advantages: Cool looking and turns heads! Easy to clip into chassis Disadvantages: Baby soon grows out of it; a bit fiddly to fit into car
...also my review on the Bebe Confort Loola pushchair that is often supplied as part of this travel system).
We always liked the look of the Loola, and after much shopping around found one at a good price.
The Creatis is a very snug car seat - very enclosed and well padded around the head area, and our baby would often sleep in it (but not now we have a bigger car seat).
The Creatis clips very easily in and out of the Loola chassis - a 2 second job! ... ...as the seat belt goes through various slots and is sometimes tricky to do so without it twisting, but it's not too bad when you get the knack.
With the Creatis in your car, the chassis easily folds down by pressing the handles in and pulling up on a handle down near the back of the buggy. Dead easy! The chassis folds up extremely well, but you would struggle to get it in the boot of most small cars, but this is down to the length, and I imagine ...
