Normal car seat suggestions (not fb group suggestions 🙈)

I have just got the Joie every stage but I’m sure there is one very similar that has a I size on it

I’m not sure where you’re located but we went in person to look at some (they even help fit them in your car to see what’s best) and it was super helpful! We’ve gone with the Cybex Anoris T2 but that’s only because my husband is 6’6” and no extended rear facing will fit behind him. Otherwise would have gone with the Axkid One 2!

I’m getting a britax max safe pro as they’re on sale for £200 everywhere at the moment and are really safe / long lasting for the price

oooh is this at any baby shop or John Lewis?

oooh £200 is really good! I’ll take a look, thanks x

We went to Natural Baby Shower but yep I’m sure you can probably find others that have multiple seats to try out!

We use the Cybex Sirona and the Joie Every Stage as a back up. We prefer Cybex because of the convenience of the 360 base. But I think the Joie will last us much longer (high centile toddler) and doesn’t require isofix so can go in any car with just seatbelt. I think everyone’s needs are different Xx

I have a Joie Stages, it was around £100 and really really good. Rear facing up to 18kg. I personally find it great and my toddler never complains going in it.. which is a win to me 😂

Britax max safe pro is an absolute steal for £200 at the moment. Tested to the highest possible standard and will be long lasting for even higher centile babies. We got ours last week and I love it!

I was looking at the Cybex Sirona Gi actually. If that’s the one you have, Would you recommend? x

defo a win 😂😂

I’ve watched videos on the installation. At the moment he spends the day with grandparents on the weekend and I have to move an isofix base too and fro. However with the britax, do you think that’s realistic? x

Yeah definitely, just buy a second set of tethers so you have a set fixed in each car. Then it wouldn’t be any more or less hassle than moving an isofix base.

The reason Axkid, Britax, Besafe and Avionaut are recommended so heavily is because they are the brands that accommodate extended rear facing. There are still other great brands but they often don't rear face past 105cm which is a 50th centile 4 year old so it depends on the size of your child and when you wish to forward face.
Cybex anoris T is about the safest forward facing seat, but it is pricey and still only has a height limit of 115cm.
As mentioned above the britax max safe pro is only £200 with pretty much all retailers (that sell them) if you're wanting an extended rear facing seat. We just bought one as our spare seat because it's such a good deal. Main seat is an Axkid minikid 4.
