Parents,what car seat do you recommend and what would you advise against?

my baby is over 9kgs and still in the rear facing car seat however i can see the time is almost here to get the new car seat!! would love to have your reviews thanksParents,what car seat do you recommend and what would you advise against?
dont buy form the internet..defo buy from a shop as you know what you are getting and maybe try halfords as they wil fit it for you and saftey check it xParents,what car seat do you recommend and what would you advise against?
We went with a convertible one, because you will likely want him rear facing until he reaches 1 year or even older. It is safer than forward facing. Our health nurse recommended getting one that converted from back to forward facing and not switching until our daughter started to fuss about looking at a seat all of the time. Look for one that has good back and neck support and features like a cup holder. I know this sounds a little trivial, but once he is a little older, you will want a place to hold snacks and a sippy cup.





Also, take a good look at the buckle system. You will want something that your l/o won't be able to figure out very easily. I know this sounds a little silly, but I know some parents who have had to buy different car seats because their little ones figured out the buckle system and kept unbuckling themselves.





You don't need to spend a lot of money. Look around for a good deal and wait for sales. We got ours at 50% off at Sears because they were having a baby sale where everything in the department was marked down by 20-30% and it was one of their scratch weekends.
I read an article in a parenting magazine talking about evenflo car seats and how they were unsafe. I thought I would pass that information on to you. I would look at babies r us for one that you like and maybe research it a little to make sure it is safe.
We have the Maxi Cosi XP which is FAB...seems to be really comfy for alfie and he is so much happier in it!!!


Just make sure you have it checked in the car before you buy it ;-)
I think try this website http://www.babycarseatsale.com i love the maxi cosi car seat but the color is not that bright
go to babiesRus and try them out. see which one fits your baby best. although i heard that the britax car seats are super safe and nice and comfy/roomy for your baby.
we went to Halfords they advised which was the best one for our car and fitted it for us as well
