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

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...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...

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

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

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

Seat, they can't be be-at

Advantages: Kept me informed every step of the way
Disadvantages: None so far

...Back in May my beloved 14yr old Micra had its passenger door bent open and hotwiring was attempted. We had a mechanic look at it and was told that along with some other bits that needed doing, it'd cost around £400 to repair (yikes). The car had to be sold for scrap and the stressful search for a new car had begun. We decided only to buy from car dealers as we thought this to be the 'safest' option - people can always be economical with the truth and unless you know about cars, you can be fleeced. After many wasted weekends trawling all over the place, we stumbled upon New Southgate Seat, which is near Arnos Grove in North London. They had a trade-in Rover 200 (214i), one lady owner, 18k on the clock for £2250. We found the dealers, parked up and went to inspect the car. After clambering around under the car, I found...

Review of Seat

Safety 1st bath seat... OK for a wriggly baby!

Advantages: Cheap, compact, allows baby to sit up straight
Disadvantages: Pointless toy, suckers not strong

...Bathing a baby can be difficult! Once they have outgrown a baby bath, then a baby bath chair.. what next? Now our son is at the crawling and standing up stage, bathing was a nightmare so our next investment was the Safety 1st Swivel Bath Seat. What is it?? The seat is blue and sturdy with suckers on the base and a coloured toy on the front. My son has never played with the toy, and in my opinion is very boring. The seat also swivels round so this is a plus for nosy babies! The seat is circular and smooth so no risk of accidents. Price This bath seat is a lot cheaper than other seats on the market aimed at 6 months +. It can be found for around £9.99, which I found to be very cheap so full marks for pricing. I got it at this price from Babies R us - which is situated inside Toys R us, or online. Advantages...

Review of Safety 1st Bath Seat

Bums on seat

Advantages: transportable
Disadvantages: Not much use out of it

...I first came along this seat whilst shopping in Mothercare. I had never seen anything of its sort before and I thought the idea of having Rhys in a chair so as he could play whilst I pottered about doing my chores instead of having him roll around the floor intrested me. So I bought one at the cost of £29.99. Quite expensive but I thought it would come in handy. About the Bumbo The Bumbo is a snug and cozy seat originating from South Africa and is suitable for babies as soon as they can support their own head. Key Feature The Bumbo designed is made so as that the seat is at a lower lever then the leg openingsthus providing correct support foer the back. It is also desided so the baby cannot fall out(cos the legs are higher then the bum) The front support wont push against the babys groin but will stop baby sliding forward...

Review of Bumbo Baby Seat

One seat or two..?

Advantages: Looks good, easy to use and cuts out on clutter.
Disadvantages: Can chip, rub and come apart but only if mistreated!

...I have been meaning to do a review on this innovative product for ages and, for once, my procrastination means that I should now be able to give a more complete review as during this time a couple more 'problems' have arisen which may be of interest to you. The family toilet seat is a standard toilet seat with a smaller, trainer seat for toddlers/young children in the toilet lid. When you lift the toilet lid, the trainer seat can be easily released by turning a little knob and, hey-presto, a smaller version of the adult seat folds down! When I first saw this product in 2003, I was so impressed by it that I bought it - before I was even pregnant! We were trying for our first baby and after another month of no success I decided to cheer myself up by buying a lovely crib that I had had my eye on for ages and while flicking through...

Review of Rymax Family Toilet Seat

Britax Duo Plus Isofix Seat

Advantages: Secure, easy to fit, comfy, stylish
Disadvantages: Small range of fabrics in UK

...I had previously used the Britax first-stage car seat which came with our travel system, and my daughter always seemed very comfortable and secure in it. So, when she outgrew it, we looked at several brands, but we did have confidence in Britax already. However, what swung the decision for us was safety - we looked at the encap safety ratings, and when you use the Isofix points in your car, this seat was the best in our price range. It can be used with a seatbelt also, however, and still comes highly rated. Isofix relates to anchor points which are fitted in your car - rather than using the seatbelt, you connect the seat straight into these points. Apparently a lot of seat-belt connected seats aren't fitted correctly, so we were keen to use this system. We actually contacted Britax by phone to make sure that we could use...
