Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Maxi Cosi cabrio car seat

Advantages: Stylish, simple to use and slim design so light weight
Disadvantages: none

...This is a fantastic car seat for up to a year old baby. It is very user friendly with easy instructions if you can't work out certain things. It is a slim design so it is quite light and easy to carry, the seat belt is a stylish and simple design where you have to interlock the arm straps then fasten between the legs. The handle can be placed in three positions: 1. behind the seat on the floor to stop seat rocking 2. behind the baby's head so it can rock 3. In place for you to be able to carry it. The seat also comes standard with a fabric cover which attaches to the handle to protect the baby from bright sunlight, and when not in use sits snuggly back in its pouch. Personally we have it up all the time as its always to bright for the baby. Other accessories that come with it are padding for a new born baby which is used till...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Cosi little seat!

Advantages: Comfortable, safe
Disadvantages: heavy

...I was recommended to buy this car seat by a friend and now I can see why they rated it so highly. Which magazine have rated Maxi Cosi as one of their safest car seats and it's been a great buy for us. The seat itself is very well padded and comes with a head hugger which has extra padding on it which is velcroed on. You easily detach this once your baby has out grown it. The head hugger is really great though for when your baby is tiny. It gives that extra comfort and support which a newborn needs. The head hugger stayed in our car seat until our baby was 5 months old. The padding around the rest of the seat is really sound comfortable but not so overly padded that it seems too soft and therefore not safe. When the baby is sat in it it doesn't hunch them up like in other car seats, instead the baby is well supported and has...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Brilliant infant car seat

Advantages: Excellent for safety, comfort and totally practical
Disadvantages: no negatives for this product

...I used this for my daughter and used it from birth right through to the upper weight limit which is actually higher than most other car seats in this category. She always seemed so content in it and happily napped when travelling. The sun canopy is excellent, great for protecting the baby when driving and carrying about. Sun canopy also stores away easily when not in use, remaining attatched but out for the way. I also bought the easybase which made loading and unloading baby from car very quick and easy - especially when its raining which it so often does here. Also purchased mosquito net & Raincover both excellent purchases and in the UK I certainly needed them. I liked the fact that there were internal pads that could be removed as she grew to enable more comfort and space for her within the seat. Covers are easily removed for washing...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio 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 strong and safe but equally as important to me, my 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...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Looks like an oversized potty (Bumbo Baby Seat)

Advantages: Lets you child sit unaided safely
Disadvantages: Baby could get out of it when they are older

...I recently visited a friend who has an 18 month old child and she asked me if I had a Bumbo, I looked at her as if to say what on earth are you talking about as I had never herd of such a thing. Five minutes later after rooting around in her loft she produced what I can only describe as a chair that looked like a potty. So what is a Bumbo, well it's a seat for babies from around 4 months (or who can support their own heads) and up to around 14 months. They come in a variety of cool colours. It basically (as mentioned earlier) looks like an oversized potty; it has a high back on it and little post at the front that goes between your babies legs. The chair is made out of a lightweight soft foam material (which is non-toxic and environmentally friendly) and has a plastic type coating so it's very easy to wipe clean. The Bumbo is designed...

Review of Bumbo Baby Seat

Britax Duo Isofix Car Seat

Advantages: IsoFix Secure FittingS
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Why a Duo? Well, you have two ways to fit it! You can fit the seat using the traditional method through the seat belts or you can fit it with the recently invented Isofix fittings. This is a new European wide standard for universal child seat fitting. The seat uses 2 clamps that hook onto secure metal fixings in your car. The seat does not fit all cars so it is well worth checking with your supplier first. Or you can check on the Britax Website for updates. We bought ours from Mothercare who actually allowed us to try the seat in our car & demonstrated how to use it. The seat itself is very comfortable – it is adjustable so Baba can recline when sleeping. It is very easy to adjust as you just squeeze the clamp gently and bob’s your uncle. We drive a Clio and the seat’s compact nature has made it a great...

Bumbo Baby Seat

Advantages: Great for babies ..
Disadvantages: .. if they like it!

...The Bumbo baby seat was given to last Christmas as a present for my little boy. He was nearly 3 months old at the time, and after being recommended one by a friend, I suggested it to a family member who eventually got one for me. The Bumbo baby seat is designed to comfortably support and help a baby to sit in an upright position. The seat is helpful in gifting your young ones with their first experience as sitting up, like their Mami and Dadi. The Bumbo seat itself is made from a soft, lightweight spongy rubber material, and is very durable. The seat can be squeezed, stretched or dropped from a height, and it will always return to it's original shape, and without any marks. The texture of the Bumbo means that it is very easy to clean up any stains that it picks up. The Bumbo is recommended for babies from around 3 months up to 14...

Review of Bumbo Baby Seat

A great seat that lets your baby sit up independently.

Advantages: LetsLets you take baby around with you
Disadvantages: Price

...After looking at these seats and reading many reviews I decided to go ahead and purchase one. The one that I brought was from Amazon and cost £27.99. The following day my parcel arrived, the box is shaped like a hexagon and is brightly coloured with pictures of babies in the seat on all the sides. The Bumbo originates from South America and is now all the rage in the UK (although it has been around in the UK for some years now). **What is it?** The Bumbo is a specially designed seat that enables your baby to sit up unaided. You can place your child in this seat as soon as they can hold their head up and is usable until they are around 11-12 months of age or can remove themselves from it. The seat comes in several colours the most popular being blue, pink and aqua (note that you will find the blue and pink colours more...
