The best car seat on the market

Advantages: safe, comfortable, easy to install
Disadvantages: slightly heavy!

...A rather bold title for my review but one that I stand by. This car seat is the best one on the market both in my opinion and in the opinion of Which? magazine. I am now at the stage where the next size up seat is needed and I will miss using this seat as it has proven to be very reliable, useful and efficient. Choosing a car seat There are so many options available to you when you look into buying a cart seat for a newborn. I was pretty bewildered by the amount of choice and the variation between them all. At first glance they look very similar but then they vary so different in price and functions that actually they do vary quite considerably. I mainly chose this seat because it had been recommended to me and because I knew it had fared top in Which? magazines safest car seats. There are many factors to consider when...

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

What a car!!

Advantages: Great interior, wonderful drive
Disadvantages: Costs more than other cars similar to it

...by a lovely looking car that puts everything at your finger tips. I won't bother going into every detail about the car and what it has on it because if I did then I'd be here for hours! What I will say is that the driving position is very good. You can adjust the seats vertically and horizontally so that you are well placed to see the road ahead of you. The gear box is positioned quite high and adds to the comfy feel. The gears also have a very close ratio so each gear is positioned close to another making changing gears a very quick thing. There is also plenty of space in the car. I like to sit with my chair quite far back in the car and if I do that then there is still enough room for someone 6 foot tall to sit down and not be uncomfortable. Obviously, having three people in the back is also not too cramped. Boot space is very good...

Review of Volkswagen Golf 1.6 FSI

Mervelous car polish . . .

Advantages: Polish anytime, any weather.
Disadvantages: Price?

...Being a skinflint, I got mine cheap off a market stall, As it was a bargain, I decided to give it a go, instead of the stuff I usually use - Car Plan, although I have always been happy with it, I have heard people "wax" lyrical about Mer but never used it. Glad I gave it a try now. The polish is suitable for all paint finishes, including metallic, you can also use it on your caravan, bike, upvc windows or anywhere else you need a good shine. The polish comes in a plastic container, coloured blue, in the following sizes, half litre, one litre, three litres, and the massive trade size of ten litres. Recommended retail prices range from £11 for the smallest, sixteen Pounds and thirty-one for the 1 & 3 litres, then up to a whopping £71 for the large. These prices are expensive, but the polish is very good, and does tend to go a long way...

Review of Mer Car Polish

Cars - KACHOW!!

Advantages: Great film and fantastic characters - What a film
Disadvantages: None - Just make sure you watch it!

...Sitting down infront of the TV with my brother revising for my A Levels, my brother then decided to go and get the Pixar boxset from our DVD collection. After moaning that I did not want to watch Cars for several minutes because I thought it would be a terrible film, my brother put the film on anyway. It was his choice. He is 5 years older. How lucky was I that he decided this for us. What a film. Cars is again a great hit by Pixar and one I would recommend to all families, for kids and adults. It is a fantastic film with great cast voices and is full of hilarious characters. I cant remember the last time I had so much fun 'revising'. "Brief Plot" Cars is set in a world filled by anthropomorphic cars and other vehicles. The plot is about a rookie car racer called Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) who is part of the infamous...

Review of Cars (DVD)

  I only wanted to buy a car!

Advantages: Choice, worth it in the end, you can save lots of money
Disadvantages: Time consuming, challanging

...makes decisions on impulse I would highly recommend you do some home work first on what you want to buy. It can be an expensive mistake buying something on impulse that you later find out is totally unsuitable. First up is to decide what you want in terms of type of vehicle, you wouldn?t believe the amount of people who buy a car only to find it won?t accommodate the entire family or doesn?t fit in their garage. SIZE OF VEHICLE It?s no use buying a small four seater town car if you have four children, two dogs & a demanding mother in law to transport around or do you really need a seven seater multi purpose people carrier for you & your boyfriend? ENGINE SIZE Once you make the decision on size of vehicle think about engine size, small engines mean small bills, small engines have low Co2 figures which means low road tax values...

Review of Buying A New Car

A must-see for all of those car mad boys!

Advantages: The soundtrack
Disadvantages: The characters aren't very strong

...When I first watched this film, I thought it was a loud of rubbish. At the time I was convinced it was probably the worst Disney film that I had seen and wasn't bothered about watching it again any time soon. Noah had other plans and I am currently watching it for the hundredth time! I am not sure if it's a case of becoming familiar with something and quite liking it but this film has really grown on me. The film is based around a famous race car, Lightening Maclean, who gets lost and finds himself in a small town on Route 66 called Radiator Springs. He ends up having to stay in the town after getting arrested and being ordered to fix the road that he broke as a result of wreckless driving. He is desperate to leave and get back in time to win the Piston Cup but as time goes on he makes some great friends. Will he stay and build...
