Car seats
What car seat does everyone have??
I have a Graco Autobaby one that came with the travel system and it's crap. I bought an Isofix base so it was easy to get in and out of my fiesta (2 door!) but the when the car seat is on the base, it is tilted way too far forward and there's no other way it will go....my lo is only 3 wks on Friday and though hes got good head control it still would flop forward a bit grrrrr stupid isofix! Ffs they are made for newborns arent they??
So I am having to fit the seat every time we go out which is annoying.
I have heard of birth to 4 seats, are they front facing and easier to fit?xxx

We are doing well thanks! - Not too bad. He is awake all day and by 5pm he is getting really whingy, I think he fights sleep, but at least he sleeps quite well at night! He is gorgeous though, me & oh fight over who holds him!

Good luck at finding a new one!
I have a corsa btw.
We have the mothercare atlan one which we had mothercare check it fitted in the car and it was a little too far forwards in our old car so the mothercare chappy mentioned these pipe thingys. Lovely taxi driver wrote off our old car though and it fits better in the new one..w e have a little level indicator thingy so we know its fitted right.
Apparently a lot of fords have the same problem with the short seatbelts.. we can't fit the seat without the base in the back of our car..or is it the front.. I can't remember.. we just use the base. I used the car seat in my mums car without the base..its a 3 door car and what a pain in the backside it was fitting it. Didn't help that the first time I strapped Cole in I used the front seatbelt instead of the rear one!! Clever eh!
and Gabe is so so so gorgeous!!! he just looks like such a perfectly contented little baby, no wonder you and oh fight over him lol xxx
Kia, I hadnt heard of those! I will have to get one! xxx
