Car seat recommendations

Following for recommendations too.

I’ve got a Joie 360 spin. Goes rear and front facing, with isofix. Has adjustments so it can be used up until 4 years of age!!

I’ve found it so much easier getting my boy in and out of the car, as you can turn it to face the door rather than trying to get them in, at a funny angle.
Also has an adjustment to tilt the chair back if baby falls asleep.

They are a little pricey, my local Tesco’s (it’s one of those big ones) were doing them for £120.
The joie website is doing them for £150 atm which is a bargain (they retail up to £280).

Would highly recommend them!

Join car seat safety uk on Facebook. If you baby is an August 23 baby it’s highly unlikely the infant carrier is outgrown and forward facing isn’t recommended at all before age 4 can literally kill your child in a crash

My little one has just outgrown his car seat too we had the nuna next travel system buggy so the car seat came with it but now we have the nuna todle car seat with will last up till he is 4 and it says forward facing from 15 months but would probably keep him rear facing for as long as possible but that is entirely your choice, your child your choice x

it’s not highly unlikely , every baby is different both me and my friend have august 23 babies and they have both out grown the infant carriers

I have the Puggle 360, it’s fab. I’ve got my 21 month old in one and my 7 month old in the same. The headrest and recline can be altered, as well as the inserts being switched out etc so it literally does grow with the child!
I got them on online4baby.com, think they were £100 or so.

ok perhaps not outgrown by your standards but I am struggling to carry him as he is now 23lbs. It’s doesn’t twist and when I say outgrown he is a very long baby so his feet are bunched up at the end and almost sit bow when he’s in the car to fit them in. Also I think your comment is a bit scare mongering the car seats can go forward facing before 4 which is why it’s legal to do so.

It's recommended to rear face until 4 minimum but preferably 5 or 6 when they can front face with a high backed booster and seatbelt only as it's not recommended to front face with a harness.
The laws in this country are shocking for car seats and are the absolute bare minimum. It 100% goes off age as that's when their bones and spine can withstand the force of a crash and it's 5x safer to rear face, take a look at crash tests on YouTube.
It's legal to give a 5 year old alcohol in your home but people wouldn't do that just because it's the legal minimum so I don't know why they do the bare minimum for car seat safety
