I left Rich in charge of the car seat, now he tells me he has bought it off the internet. It's a well known make (recardo? Or something like that) but I was just wondering if there's somewhere you can get them tested, to make sure they fit correctly, they're in correctly etc?

Mothercare will do it for free, Halfords only do if for car seats bought from them, and the police will also do it for free

If the car seat and your car both have ISOFIX mounts, then you're safe. If its brand new, following the instructions and giving it a good tug can often re-assure. The Police will often check it willingly, as will your Midwife/Health care people...

Recaro are a great brand... I'll put money on it being a racing car seat

I have seen it, it's really cute!
