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 😂😅

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)
