do you have to put the seatbelt on each time they go in it??

I think its the same as my friends. You weave the seatbelt through the back of the seat and then just use the 5 point harness.

I have a britax evolva 123 for my son. It is from 9 months to 12 years and is attached with the seat belt going through the back and then has a 5 point harness. You dont have to adjust the seat belt at all once its in its in.

My youngest (also 3) has the Argos one like in the link - once you get the hang of attaching it to the seat its really easy to use (:blush: ) My dd now doesnt use the integral harness but still uses the padded headrest and loves her pink seat :)

my son (1yr) is also quite small for his age and even in this car seat he looks safe and comfy whereas some of them looked too big and its very easy to adjust and it has 2 postions one so it reclines (must better for my son because he sleeps alot in the car).

i recently got a nice one for two large 2 year olds and a small 4 year old. It was from kiddicare for £30 (originally £70).

they've always got a special offer on their site - worth checking it out. They do free delivery too.

I would just continue to use a five point harness full car seat. If he is small he obviously won't be over the weight threshold.

i really like the look of this one, but it doesn't say how it fastens in??

all the ones with integral harnesses use the diagonal seatbelt to secure the carseat in the car.( when used with the harness option).

if this is the one you like i would say you would be ok:thumbsup:

i have a britax trio, which i think has been replaced by the evolva 123, lots of options so last the kids a long time and versatile for you and your business :clapping:

very similar to the top one but called a Nania travel easy. It's very easy to use.

oooh, that's nicer than mine. Mine is just black and red but a very similar model. You just slip the proper seatbelt through the padding where the integral harness is, so behind the child's back. It's very easy

WOW that was super fast delivery!! I often look on Kiddicare and they have some really good prices.

I am trying to justify whether I need a new seat for my new 2 yr old - I dont really but the one you got looks cool!!!
