    My family are all 200+ miles away, and DH's closer to 300. It was never a problem making the journey when DD was little because a) she would sleep and b) she would need feeding after 2 hours anyway.

    It's a personal preference. I was happier with DS lying flat for a long journey. Plus, by the time we made the journey, DS was sleeping for 5 hours at a time at night so we drove up then with the minimum of fuss.

    A lie flat seat worked for us, but I'm not sure it's a worthwhile investment for someone who already has a car seat and especially if they're only making local journeys.

    I found the Maxi Cosi Pebble quite flat, I know there are flatter like the Jane, but that was the best reasonable price one I found. We used to stop after an hour or hour and a half, and just lift him out for a bit. I hate seeing those cheaper seats that are very upright, they worry me.
