hi all!
i have just fitted the britax car seat that id been donated and its not safe - i cant use it. it has no padding so the seat is just the cover on the plastic and there is no tensioner....not to mention that it seems welded to its base and will not budge...

anyway!

i need a decent, safe but CHEAP seat pronto! (birth to 4 group) any recommendations? im facing 3 days of hour long round trip school runs twice a day next week and im not looking forward to it as its all up hill :eek:

I bought 3 car seats from Kiddicare on-line (about £40.00 each). They are boosters with backs plus a 5 point harness. From 9kg to age 11 years. Mothercare do a similar one from about £35.00 :thumbsup:

I brought one from here also, was £40.00 so probably the same one :thumbsup:

I got 2 from Argos last Monday they should have been £44 but they were £33 they have extra side impact protection and so long as you work hard at tightening the tension on the car seat belt to secure it it is pretty secure once in. - I don't know when the offer ends take a look on the Website.

I doesn't convert to a booster seat as it states in the catalogue or on internet (I have 4 boosters already so its not a problem to me, but it does convert to work with just the seat belt for older children - just remove the 5 point harness - I think its great value for money!!!
