Two cars one seat no problem with First Class

Advantages: Tilt for comfort, five point harness with padding, easy to move between cars
Disadvantages: Large base with metal bars which may mark car furnishings

...seemed to be looming......then we tried the Britax First Class. This was not my first choice as it looks ugly in the showroom with its big metal base frame but how wrong first impressions can be!! When fitted in the older car it has an alternative route for the belt buckle, ideal for cars made before 2002! Fast and easy to fit in both cars was a relief but I was worried we were comprimising on my little girls comfort but these worries was aliviated on her first trip. The five point harness is easy to adjust (one button easiely reached) and has built in padding which cannot slide of place to stop her neck getting sore. It reclines smoothly with the touch of one handle to ensure she doesn't drop her head forward when she goes to sleep. The sides allow her to see out the windows but offer good protection. I can honestly say she has never been...

Review of Britax First Class

A first class car seat

Advantages: Comfy, stylish, long-lasting, easy recline mechanism
Disadvantages: heavy

...I spent ages trying to find a second stage car seat which fitted our two Vauxhall cars. I'd read a lot about the fact that 80% of car seats are incorrectly fitted, so I wnted to get it right. I also wanted a seat which would recline easily without the need to re-adjust the fitting. After some really duff advice and "help" from Mothercare, I went to Halfords where the fully trained staff were brilliant and really knew their products. I was assured that a First Class would fit both of our cars, and the fitter showed us how it is done. The advantage of the First Class over others is that there are two fitting options, which makes it more likely that it will fit one way or the other. The instructions that came with the seat are easy to follow and once you have read them, the seat is pretty easy to fit, although as with all car...

Review of Britax First Class

Brmm, Brmm, My Car Mummy, NOT YOURS

Advantages: Tough durable car, switch to switch off noise, brightly coloured,
Disadvantages: Noisy

...anything. You can press the horn on the steering wheel to hear beep beep which is like a reved up sound off a horn. The little person fits into the seat and when you push down on the seat the car revs up the engine and prepares to move. The noise is loud and you can get a fright. Once the car is in driving gear it moves along the floor and then suddenly brakes and stops again. It doesn't move for more than about 10 seconds at the very most. At the end there is a little giggle as though the driver had fun. The noises are all very real and are also very loud! Murray was put off the car at first when he pressed a button at first and it took a few weeks before he would go near it again! I loved this car when it was in the shop and I looked at it. But when it came to the crunch and we had one at home, I found it disappointing...

Review of Early Learning Centre Friends First Car

Saxo- Excellent first car!!!

Advantages: Easy on petrol, Insurance, Ignition code
Disadvantages: None that ive came across!!

...My first car- Great on insurance, Petrol and tax. I would have to say that a major plus on this car is the ignition code.....I recently left the lights on and the battery died (easily done)...(silly girl) but because of the ignition code that only i know it was impossible to push start this car!!! I then had to go and get a set off jump leads but again unless you know the code you will not start this car!! Which is a good thing if you dont have the money to keep replacing your car!!!! It can also if you have a short temper be a bit of a pain because still after 2 months of owning the car i forget to put the code before i start the car!!! Overall i would defo reccommend for first time drivers especially!! :) :)...

Review of Citroen Saxo 1.1

My first little car!

Advantages: fun to drive, nippy, quirky
Disadvantages: not tonnes of space, low(ish) safety rating, not many gadgets in basic versions

...Right, so I finally realised I needed a car. However, being a student with only a part time job, realised I needed a cheap car which was cheap to run. After reading reviews and weighing up the pros and cons I set my sights on a Ford KA. I headed to my local car dealer and was in luck; basic 2002 ford KA with 35000 on the clock and all for under two grand! So I put my deposit down and then finally bought the car. I hadn't drove for two years when I first sat behind the driver's wheel, but before starting the engine it seemed comfortable. Visibility is good and the driving position feels high up. The seat was comfortable for me, despite some people complaining about the seats. Personally they were fine for me. My ford KA is the basic 1.3 litre jobby, so not much flash stuff on the dash, but enough. There is a cassette deck...

ROARY'S FIRST DAY BUT NOT HIS LAST

Advantages: great for roary fans
Disadvantages: YOU COULD ENJOY IT!!!!!

...the cars at the first opportunity (and also Mr Carburettor's arch enemy) and Dinky the donkey. Going back to the DVD. This is Roary the racing first DVD and is called "Roary's first Day". The front cover has Roary the racing car at the top, Roary himself with Big Chris behind him and Maxi just slightly further behind with Roary's first day underneath (also mentioning featuring Peter Kay as Big Chris). There are 5 episodes on this DVD and I will only give a highlight to them (don't want to spoil your watching pleasure). Roary's first day: Roary is slightly shaken up after having a bad dream about the forthcoming big race so big Chris tells him the story of a little red racing car when he arrived at the racecourse and overcame his initial fears. Of course, it is the story of Roary's first day at Silverhatch Big Chris flags...

Review of Roary The Racing Car - Roary's First Day (DVD)

Fabulous Classic Car, (when it first came out)

Advantages: Looks, reliable
Disadvantages: cost of servicing, looks slightly aged

...First off i want to just make clear that when i bought this car back in 2000, it was a brand new car so any mdel that you my purchase now may not have the reliablility as a new car. However that said it is a brilliant car, I have driven about 40+ cars and owned a about 12+ sports cars among others. But my favourite remains to be the 3 series both the coupe and the saloon are a pleasure to drive with an exciting ride and reliablility. What i do have to say that there is a known fault where the yellow emu (engine management unit) tends to display a fault which cost me around 1,500 w/servicing. Other than that it was a fantastic car which i loved and was a real head turner, proberly less so now. The advantage of buying one now is that you can get a cracking car at a cracking price with convertibles starting at aroun £6-7k....

First Direct - I will be the first to direct you away.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...'t planned on spending anything in this account unless I had to (such as on a car or something of that magnitude), they still gave me an overdraft of approximately £300 (even though they were aware that the money would be sitting there for a while gaining interest). This arrangement seemed to work well, with me just paying in small amounts every few months for a period of about 18 months using the paying in slips. My statements were online, meaning that I could check them ? until I decided to go in to the bank to pay in some cash as I had no actual paying in slips left and was waiting for some more to be sent through. I went in and explained the situation, and the cashier gave me one of theirs and explained that it would be credited to my First Direct account (even though it was an HSBC slip) within the time limit which has escaped me now...

Review of First Direct

Vicks First Defence

Advantages: Gets rid of a cold
Disadvantages: Price

...Vicks First Defence is AMAZING! The only product to actually get rid of a cold. I have used this several times now and every time it has worked. You're supposed to use it when you first feel the signs of a cold coming on, which you don't always know but I have used it mid way through a bad cold and it has cleared up. I've found I have had one bad day and then the next day my cold has dissappeared. It works by drawing the cold out of you quickly so you feel really lousy for a day but it's worth it so the cold doesn't drag on for days or even weeks! Vicks First Defence makes no claim to cure colds, or to prevent them but it does claim to reduce the chance of developing a full blown cold by up to 50% if taken promptly at the first sign of symptoms and to cut symptoms by up to 40% but each time I have used it, it has worked better...

Review of Vicks First Defence

1997 LIMITED EDITION FIESTA FUSION - MY FIRST CAR

Advantages: It's a cheap, fun car!
Disadvantages: You have to search for the best ones

...This review is on my new car that I bought a little while ago (Well it's not new - it's used actually) My car is the Ford Fiesta from the year 1997. It has the standard 1.25 Zetec engine but the car itself is actually a LIMITED EDITION and is therefore called a Ford Fiesta Fusion. A little about the car itself: It is the middle shape of the Fiesta (Not the old shape) It has a standard 1.25 Zetec engine 16V 3Door Available mostly in metallic paint Year of production: 1997 Can come with electric windows/central locking/sunroof Hatchback Runs on petrol Manual As I was looking for a first car, my Father and I were not looking on spending much. The cars we had in mind were along the lines of the older Fiestas, the Vauxhall Corsa's and the Renault Clio's. But when we came apon this car that has an average PARKERS price...
