Car Seats
Has anyone put their LO is the next size up yet?
I feel bad when I have to put Haiden in her Cabriofix as she tried her hardest to sit up and she can't. Also she kicks the back of the seat in the car as she can't stretch out.
Not had her weighed for a few weeks but I hope to get her weighed tomorrow when I have the day off work
She was 17lb 4 1/2oz a few weeks back and will be 8 months on 30th July xxx

Issy is still in her cabriofix too. She doesn't like being strapped in one bit and arches her back to avoid being strapped in.
I went into a shop near mine to ask about the next stage care seat but they said Issy is too little at the moment and she needs to be over 20lbs. To be fair she still fits in her cabriofix fine but I know she'll love sitting up and being nosey.

When we went to Knowsley Safari Park on mothers day I had him sat on my knee in the front passenger seat so he could see out and he loved it so I'm certain he would very much like a forward facing seat!

We have ordered the next stage car seat and went for the M&P Pallas. We'll pick it up at the end of April and then will prob move Grace into it when we get back from hols second week in May, so she will be approaching 8 months.

Just out of interest, what seat has everyone decided on? We're going to go for the Maxi Cosi Tobi. (I think, he he).

My LO has been in her stage 1 car seat since just over 5 months. We had the mamas and papas primo viaggio and she got way too big for it way to quick! Last weigh in she was just over 26lbs at 6 months. I also couldnt lift her in it! She used to scream like crazy if we put her in it!
We decided that as she was still very young we'd buy the Britax first class plus which can be used rear facing as no one would sell us a stage 1 seat as she wasnt 9 months or sittin unaided for long periods. However when we were reading the manual it said that for babies over 11kg the seat has to be forward facing..... so for us this was a waste of money. When it was rear facing we had to crawl across the back seat to get her in and out as the seat belt was in the way, and that was also a back breaker. And now forward facing she loves to see what is going on and look out the window, but the britax doesnt seem to have as much room in it as some of the 9 months + seats. So we may end up having to buy another seat in a few months!
Very sturdy seat and she seesm to find comfy though!
Sorry for the novel lol

Harry is starting to get to that stage too where we really need to start thinking about moving up to the next stage but his head isn't quite at the top yet. I'll be going for another britax eclipsesi as that's what I had first time around and I had no complaints.
Incidentally my friend's little one has been in a front facing car seat since 3 months old! Yes we know it's too young but she had no choice her lo had a hip cast then brace on and couldn't fit into any rear facing car seat even the ones that are supposed to do stage 0 then stage 1. Her lo is absoultly fine and has had no problems. she did get a neck suppot cushion thing (the ones that u buy that rap round your neck for travelling) and her Dr's said that this would provide all the support she needed.

We are going for a Maxi Cosi Axiss xx
I like the look of several to be honest.
What has made you choose the one's you have?

Plus it has useful features such as a harness that springs open so easy to get LO in & out, a tension indicator so you know you've got the harness tight enough, markers to help show you where to feed the seatbelt through (is easy to fit according to reviews), has 5 recline positions and it looks funky which is an added bonus!

according to the aa the britax duo plus is one of the safest so i think we will go for that
