    Brought one of these last week the Raffaello. Good value for money and really comfortable. My Niece loves it.

    anyone know how these score safety wise?

    how would a 2 1/2 year old fit in one of these....safety wise

    he's currently in a mamas and papas protec

    this would be great for me (we have 2 cars and two babies 1 1/2 year old girl and 2 1/2 year old boy both currently in mamas and papas protec ...which gets a good score on Which?)

    these would be great if i could get two and then the little lad could go in these and DD could usethe protecs

    thanks
  • anyone know how these score safety wise?

    They don't score very well at all ! The Graco one is one of the worst ones . PM me for a copy of the latest Which report . And IMO I would leave the 2 1/2 year old in the M & P Protec or get something like the Britax Evolva 123 Ultra with a built in harness . I am having trouble with my internet connection at the minute so if I don't get back to you immediately don't worry

  • just a quick reply to say that we bought a carseat from Halfords and they fitted it - they didn't have a clue what they were doing (two of them tried) :o and they had to go in the store and ask the manager who also didn't have a clue....sometimes although they'll 'professionally' fit it for free, doesn't mean it's correct :rolleyes:

    WARNING: Dont just buy on line and stick it in your car , get a professional to check it will fit your car and fits correctly , not all seats fit all cars, and always check for buckle crunch as you seat might not work in a crash this is very important if your seat belts have alot of webbing on them and dont fit low down into the seats
