For longevity and safety I’d go for 2 Axkid movekids.

You would get away with the minikid 2 for eldest if you wanted to spend slightly less overall.

There isn’t a rear facing and forward facing seat that will accommodate eldest height and weight for longer than an year ish, other than the be safe beyond 360 but it’s around £600+ xx

Can anyone narrow them down. This is the problem; there’s so many now I don’t know which to choose from x

Also I know everyone is super set on continuing RF till 7 but my goal was to RF until 4, so can anyone provide some FF options as well or that not a thing in this group? Thanks

Is there a reason you want to FF at 4? Most ERF seats will RF until 105cm (isofix&spin) or 125cm anyway, so it would be your decision when you take them out of that but children generally aren’t ready for high backed boosters until at least 5 year old. To narrow them down I would recommend first finding your local retailer and have a look what they have available as they won’t have every seat. Some have recline options, some are more upright, some have manual tethers and some have automatic ones. They’re all slightly different on space too, I recently changed from a britax max safe pro to an axkid movekid to have some more legroom myself in the driving seat. You can book an in person appointment with your local retailers and trial some seats in your car, see what’s within your price range too, if you’d like to say what area you’re in I could have a look what retailer is near you x

There isn’t any ff harnesses seats that would last longer than 6 months to a year so it seems like you’d be buying a seat that would be unusable this time next year to then have to buy another seat.
The only one that can do both ff and rf is the one I listed xx

hey sorry I’m confused by this. Isn’t there car seat that is FF that last till 7?

Avatar

it’s just the choice we made. RF till 4 is still great, but the ERF tethers are a problems for us especially between our car and grandparents car. Isn’t there seats like joie stages etc that can be FF at 4 onwards?

Avatar

No not 7 years old as car seats and weight and height based, the harness will be outgrown soon due to your daughter’s height and weight, they have 105cm and 18kg limits.
Except the be safe beyond which is isofix, 125cm and 22/23kg limits.

You could get a Joie stages but it will be outgrown within the year more than likely and it isn’t as safe to FF with a harness x

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
