Forward Facing Car Seat

LucyS · May 20th, 2009, 06:21 AM

Right, need to look at getting Alfie one as he is 7 1/2 months but over 24lb!

Does anyone have any reccomendations? Are they as awkward as infant carriers with fitting to the exact car etc?

How do most fix? Isofix?

Thanks

I found them more awkward, as only 2 exist that fit in our car and thats because they have 2 route fittings and we have to use the alternative

we have the britax first class that straps in with the belt, but car seats are not universal. check out the manufacturers websites as they have lists of what should fit in what car and go somewhere reputable to get it fitted

Does anyone have a link? I have a Renault Megane? Thanks

look at www.graco.com or www.britax.com

find the car seat manufacturer you want and use the fit finder on there

claire, did you get the first class in the end?

Mothcare do some of their own brand seats that are made by Britax. I went in and they used the fit finder thing and then showed me the best fits for my car. I didnt have much choice as my car is weird.
