ISOFIX Baby Seats small human advice
Discussion
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm confused, it happens often, and it's happened now.
We are having a small human delivered in June, and I would very much like to be prepared for his arrival in the form of adequate seating etc for the car. Didn't think it was this complicated though, I mean, I've had a word with my unborn son, and he said he's not fussy providing he's safe.
ISOFIX! I want it. Is it universal? Do I have to buy a car specific frame/base? Is it possible to get one that swivels round so I can pull the small human out a little easier? Or at least so his Grandparents can.
Dad's car (that's me) - BMW e46 Touring 2002
Grandad's car (that's not me) - Jaguar XF 2008 Hatch
Mum's car (that's who is transporting the small human at the moment, which is good of her) - VW Golf 2012 Hatch
All of the above have ISOFIX fixing points, and we will require at least two, one for Grandparents, one for Mum and Dad.
Any help, advice, recommendations would be received with many thanks.
ETA I've heard there are some bases that can remain whilst we upgrade our human? So as our human levels up and gets bigger we can remain on the same base?

The base are usually suited to certain car. In my wife 2014 Ford Kuga we have the isofix family which works with a rear facing maxicosi cabrio. We have just recently changed to a forward facing maxicosi pearl.
Take a look at the maxicosi website. There is a car checker on there. In fact I believe most of the manufacturers have this on there websites. Or go into mothercare they are usually really helpful.

This appears to be a good base that last up for a good amount of time.
Thanks very much for all the advice. It's great to get lots of new parents opinions on this sort of thing.
I think I will take the advice of heading into a Mothercare outlet and getting the whole thing shown/explained before making a decision.
I'm finding that I have to learn very quickly with all this stuff! So I'll probably back to pick your brains some more.
