Car Seats UK

Hi all, my LO is currently 10 months and weighs 10kg. I want to get him a new car seat because his head always flops forwards when he’s asleep. But I can’t find any that would last longer than birth-13kg.

Do I suck it up and buy a new infant car seat and replace after 13kg or is there one out there that I haven’t come across yet?

Thank you

You can try the axkid movekid or the Britax max safe pro
These will last rear facing till 36kg so around 6/7 years old!
Makes more sense getting one of these than going for another infant carrier as they all only go to around 13kg

If he’s 10 months old you don’t need a from birth one. You could get a next stage seat that are often 6ish months to 5-7 years.
We love our besafe stretch, even on the most upright setting, my girl doesn’t get headflop, but you can recline it really easily too.

There are car seats that go up to 36kg so I think you're just not looking in the right places. We have the Axkid one.

Joie spin 360 is up to 4 years, Ive heard good reviews on them

I would go for the next seat up that will last him till he’s ready to forward face, if he’s over the 50th percentiles brands such as axkid or the Avionaut sky are really good seats and comfy for extended rear facing 🙂 (if they are on or below the 50th percentile joie seats can last till a decent rear facing age too )

At that age he could have an Axkid Minikid 4, rear faces up to 36kg and is Swedish plus tested so safer than the standard UK seats. We have the 2, which rear faces until 25kg and the quality is unreal x

Get one for the next stage, they come with inserts for small kids, he will fit.

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

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
