Best car seat

Catty212

I'm looking for recommendations for a from birth car seat please.
I got one with our travel system but it's awful.

Looking for something with an ISOFIX base, any suggestions please?

We have the maxi cosi Cabriofix, which we like. Which one do you have at the moment?

For the first six months we use a Britax baby safe sleeper then the Max Fix so they are rear facing until about four. I don't see the point in travel systems as unless you have a lay flat car seat a baby can only spend a couple of hours in them anyway.

We were bought the travel system and have only used the car seat to get him home from hospital. I'm recovering from a c section so wont be driving for a few weeks, so plenty of time to get a new one sorted.

I'll have a look at both of those thanks, just SO many to choose from.

I found having a car seat that clipped to the pushchair very handy for things like popping to the shops - wouldn't be in it for more than a couple of hours and a lot easier than waking a sleeping baby to put in a pushchair!
I had the maxi cosi & would recommend it - you can get isofix or belted base for the car. You can get adaptors for a lot of buggys that turn them into a travel system, however not sure if that would be the case if you have one with a car seat included.

We've got the Maxi Cosi Pebble and Family Fix base

Baby not due until May so not used it yet, but it looks comfortable

What kind of car do you have? Different seats will fit differently so that might be why your travel system seat seems so bad.

My DS1 is in a Britax Dualfix. It stays rearfacing until 18kg and is suitable from birth.

We had a maxi cosi cabriofix with the isofix base, think it's the easy fix. Couldn't fault it. Found it very easy to clip in and out of my car, was able to clip onto pram and sat in trolley at the supermarket. Had it belted in husband's car and it was very secure and our son was in the seat until he was 14 months. Most of my antenatal group had the same one as well. There are so many to choose from though!

we have the silver cross ventura as part of the travel system, it also fits onto the pram chassis and I find it very handy, saves taking the pram section out if not out for long. It is very easy with the isofix base and would recommend it.

Klippan kiss 2 rear facing until 4 can't recommend it more and my son loves it.
