Cosatto extra testing?

I know cosatto is generally not a recommended car seat I’ve just seen on their website their new seats are tested ‘in line with adac levels’ RF to 105cm and harness is tested to 20 kg (rather than 18)

Just wondering does this bring them in line with a joie seat? I know they do extra tests but not sure what.

I know there are safer Swedish plus tested seats but unfortunately we’re limited on space our main seat is an aviounaut sky and it’s for a below 50th centile child so should reach until at least 4 in this when they can go into our eldests sky until HBB is appropriate.

Thanks if you read all of this!

What seat is it?

Get Set Gro i-Size 360 Car Seat only available for preorder atm for delivery early December

i would still never buy from cosatto, they say they’re tested in line with ADAC but i cant find the actual car seats results anywhere at all for this car seat. It may be tested in line with ADAC but the result could have been ‘poor’ as they haven’t published it.

If you’re struggling on space, this also isn’t the most compact seat xx

As a person who works in crash testing, I would never buy Cosatto. There’s constant safety reviews on them and their own testing is extremely questionable.

Could you not do a sky Q for eldest and then put baby in the sky 2?

that is dreadful🤯

If you’re looking for a 18-20kg seat that is well tested then I’d consider the Britax Swivel or Swingfix M Plus.

Both around £200. Similarly you could get an Axkid Move or Minikid 2 for the eldest and put the youngest in the Sky. They are more compact than the Britax Safe-Way M.

I wouldn’t buy a Cosatto seat due to lack of testing. If your budget is around £200, look at Britax Swingfix M plus, it will be more compact than the Cosatto and better tested

Thanks for the info, wondered if after their collaboration with Axkid they were improving their own seats too sadly seems they’re not!

I think their collab tbh is just their colourful prints on axkid seats xx

I think for the price of the cosatto seats you can definitely get a much better and safer car seat you know is plus tested! X

unfortunately can’t find any plus tested seats at this price which would be suitable, will need to keep searching!

Axkid move x

Thank you, we have tried this one it unfortunately doesn’t fit we don’t need one immediately baby is only 3 months just hoping to move out of an infant carrier in our second car about 6 months so trying to see what options we have. It’s a polo so pretty small and my partner is 6ft so needs room to drive!

try the car seat sales UK page on Facebook, it’s run by ERF specialist and the members are those who take ERF very seriously so have looked after their seats and selling on x

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
