Baby Car Seats.....

[Jasandjules]

I am looking at Nuna Rebl, Cybex Sirona or Britax Dual Fix. This is because they swivel and are suitable from birth to around four years old....

Anyone had these, and how do you rate them?

These ones can be forward or backward facing. There is a law which now requires backward facing until 15 mths of age I think.

These also swivel round so you have it facing the open door to put child into it hopefully more easily rather than having to lean in and turn into a contortionist.

They all claim to have easy wipe material. IN fact, they all seem pretty much the same to me, I've no idea what the differences are to all intents and purposes. I do like a five point harness mind...

Only if they're the 'i-Size' type seats: https://www.gov.uk/child-car-seats-the-rules

Or up to 9kg if not I Size, which I suspect will be at least 12 mths old in any event!?

At 8 months old, he'd completely outgrown his baby seat, and since then he's been in a Recaro Young Expert Plus. I checked out the rear-facing seats at the time but for one reason or another they were all pretty much unsuitable.

We are all ears as to reasons! Any ideas and things we've not thought about welcome...

Keeping them asleep is a good point.

The Dualfix is one we were looking at, we expect the OH to be in the back for any journey more than say 10-15 mins. Obviously when new born they can't stay in the car seat long anyways.

Glad to hear it fit a Mondeo easily...
