Car seat question

I am 32 weeks pregnant and prepping hospital bags, I have written on my list don't forget the carseat! Which has made me think about the fact the carseat I have is just a buckle in one, not an isofix. It's got me wondering, how will the hospital go about it and is it something they'll be bothered by?
I do not drive nor does my partner so we didn't see the point of buying an isofix fancy car seat but I'm not sure how the hospital deals with them. It's fully safety tested and it's an i-size, R129 certified carseat and came as part of a travel system.
I suppose my question is will the hospital have a problem sending me home with my baby in that carseat?
Very random and probably a very stupid question but I'm now sat here over thinking this 😂😅
Picture for reference :)

Absolutely fine! They just need the most basic car seat honestly

Hospital won't ask about a car seat. That happens in the US. Non isofix car seats aren't necessarily less safe isofix but they reduce the risk of installing it incorrectly

we used the one from our travel system and it was fine, they mostly just check that baby is buckled in properly x

They just want to see that you’re able to strap baby in nice and safely they won’t care if it’s isofix or buckle x they tested to make sure the straps were snug etc (UK hospital)

Was the nursery carer wrong for saying this?

My baby is starting nursery (she’s 13 months). Today was her first settling in hour. My baby has CMPA and we are working on introducing dairy to her with a dietician. For now she can’t have cows milk. She’s still breastfed. They said she can have oatmilk with breakfast and I’m happy with this as we do this at home too. However they also offer them milk to drink and I said I’m happy to provide breastmilk. The manager emailed me about it earlier and said it’s fine as long as it’s clearly labeled. The nursery worker seemed not keen and said she can drink oat milk and she can have breastmilk at home. Is it just me or was that comment wrong?

Infant in front seat?

Looking for advice, I have to drive 2 hours with just me and my infant and I’m worried if he gets unsettled in back of car that I won’t be able to tend to him but also anxious of putting him in front seat. Has anyone ever travelled with infant in front seat and has any advice on the subject? TIA ❤️

Haven holiday travel cot

Has anyone use one of the travel cots provided on a Haven holiday? We go away next week and they say the mattress isn't provided with the cot. Wondering if I need to buy a mattress or if they're comfortable enough that if they've got the base board thing that I could bring a couple blankets and a fitted sheet to pop over the top?

Early walking and head bumps

My son is 9.5 months has been crawling for the last few days and is also loving pulling up on furniture and he keeps falling into furniture he’s pulled up on. Or he falls back and bumps his head that way. It’s been 4 days and he’s had a head bump a day already and I’m with him each time just don’t catch him in time or he goes another direction. Is this just something that I just accept and try to reduce the risk as much as possible or are there other options?
