hi, im looking to buy a car seat and i joined the which? website it has given the multi tech their dont buy award!?

anyone know whats the best carseat for rear facing is the iZi Combi X2 the only one?

Hmmm I wonder why they would do that? I've only heard positive things about the Multi Tech, it lasts kids longer than almost any seat rear facing....did they have a reason? The Two Way is also a good one. But take a look at www.carseat.se and they have more to choose from

Ill cut and paste the info tom when I'm on my comp as on the mob atm. I also have just realised the combi is on the worse buy?!

We recommend you avoid the Which? Don’t Buy Britax Multi-Tech, a group 1/2 seat (also sold in the UK by Volvo dealers as the Volvo Convertible child seat). It is secured using the adult seat belts and aims to cater for children between 9 and 25kg (from about one to about seven years old).

It comes from Britax’s Nordic range, and although it isn’t listed on the Britax UK website, it is available at some specialist UK independent retailers. For group 1 it is installed rearward-facing, and for group 2 use it fits forward-facing. The seat takes up a lot of space in its rearward-facing position, which can cause problems in smaller cars.

Unfortunately, in trying to cater for different uses, it makes too many compromises. This results in poor protection, with the child exposed to fairly high loads in a front crash.

Despite having fairly clear instructions, it is also very complicated to install in the car, making the likelihood of getting it wrong unacceptably high. If you do manage to install it correctly, buckling the child in the seat is relatively straightforward.

The seat is nicely finished and offers good head support, but leg support could be better. The seat cover is handwash only.

Pros: Buckling up easy, good padding, good finish quality

Cons: High loads in a front crash, complicated installation, removing and cleaning the seat cover is complicated.

Sorry ladies, i know this Q has been answered already but cant find it anywhere.

I need to get a rear facing seat ASAP, to fit my fiat 500...suitable from birth/6 months. Any helpful links would be gratefully appreciated xx

Yay my car seat is here and fitted!!!! Took 2 weeks to come as apparently britax is having some issues but im soo happy. Will pop River in and take a pic in a bit

newly fitted britax hiway

Looks awesome!!!!!! I wish our seats could sit back away from the seat like that, would offer SO much more leg room

Wow there is so much more room there than we have with the first plus, makes me want to get a new one sooner!

I have the same Ive had it about 3ish months and still love it. Only con is its hard to transfer between cars without practice xxxxxx
