    I phoned boots to get the parenting code added and they refused. Any suggestions?

    Thanks twinklyeys - good idea! :)

    I've ended up buying some totally different ones now as my twins aren't quite at the stage for these seat yet so I was going to be buying in advance! I think I got quite a good deal (hopefully) so I'll just mention it in case anyone else can benefit...

    I bought the Britax Eclipse in Black Thunder from Mothercare online currently reduced to £56.69 (RRP says £129.99 although it is sold cheaper than this). There are also some codes on the codes board for £5 off £50 spend and 5.25% through TCB.

    Also you get a pair of Mothercare Pop Up Cat Sunshades free with any car seat order.

    Ooh I've never tried to do a link before so not sure if that will work!

    Sorry if i'm being thick but can you do a link to the £5 off code please, i can't seem to find it! :)

    Erm I'm not sure if I've got the hang of this money saving.....I seem to be spending more money buying 'bargains' that I don't really need - oops!! :)

    Mine arrived today. Now just have to hope they refund the £25 as promised!

    Try again - might depend on who you talk to?

    I bought a red one for my granddaughter a few weeks ago, paid with my points, and it's lovely. She loves it. Well worth purchasing if you are only "thinking " about it and not sure!

    Thanks so much, just ordered for £51.69 :j I've been looking at this carseat as it is one of only a few that will go on a lap belt so my boys can sit either side with a proper belt :)

    Rang up today as haven't received my £25 refund as promised when I rang customer services last week, and they have now stated that the voucher for £25 is only valid is the purchase is £100 or more after other discounts, so as this is £90, they now won't refund it to me!

    Thinking of sending it back now!

    I ordered and tried to get Boots to refund the £25 voucher but had no success. I returned my order.

    A few days later, I phoned customer services and placed an order over the phone. They said that the £25 would automatically be refunded upon despatch. Having said that, the £25 hasn't been refunded yet. Will wait and see. If they don't refund it, mine will be going back as well.

    Hope you have success.

    The one I ordered (black) is now £79.99 after 20% online then with the automatic £5 off £50 it came down to £74.99.

    Not quite as good as £65 but still ok.

    Stupid thing is I phoned customer service and asked them about this. They said they couldn't refund the difference so I've had to order another and send the original back. Madness!
