That would be good Susan. I'm just a bit confused trying to picture it :rotfl:

Keira doesn't even have a car seat, she is just in a booster. We don't have a car though, so it's rare we are in one, except on a day out somewhere with her Gran, and tbh I'm not paying £100 for something that gets used about once in 3months. It's still safe! If we get a car then I'll get a proper one though.

Just waiting while my camera uploads the photos as I haven't done it for about a month. Rarely being in a car probably reduces the risk far more than having a fancy car seat anyway.

Here you go:



ETA: Just in case anyone notices/wonders, she isn't strapped in because we just popped out to take the pictures.

Don't watch if easily upset. These show what booster seats can do if the child is not old enough, there was one case I knew of where the little girl just slipped out of the adult belt as it didn't hold her as she was too light. Ben is still in a high backed seat and he is 7 in July, Erin is 10 and only came out of hers just over a year ago.

Sheesh, wish they made car seats for people on a budget who are concerned about safety *rolleyes*. Will bookmark them anyway, thanks Bruno & Susan for the links . We're nowhere near 20lbs yet, thankfully but still something to think about for the future.

Weezl, FWIW I think Kester should be behind DH the driver as then it's easier for you to reach him and for him to see you, right? Just my thought.

Yes, sorry Aless I thought it was hugely pricey as I was posting it - but in my defence I just followed up on my order history and when I bought it a year ago it was barely half the price! At $160, and the exchange rate was better too

So, does anyone have any advice on a safe car seat for under £100? Or what to consider when choosing a car seat?

Happy 3rd Birthday Charlotte Hope you have a lovely day

Glad you had a nice time away Hammy

I have to do it in short bursts haha otherwise I lose where Im upto x

Natalie85

ours was about 99.99 , just under hehe!!

think it was from mothercare, britax eclipse si, it had lots of good reviews online, kiddicare etc, won quite a few awards, and it fits really snug into the seat, and baby seems really comfy. 3 seat positions, so if she falls asleep, i recline it so she's comfier

we're very happy with it

You could do with the Which car seat report, open a thread and see who replies, someone must have access to it.
