Fantastic car seat for my baby?
Discussion
Sorry cant open your link ,
I take it this is for a new born ? and therefore needs to be rear facing ?
If so I can reccommend the maxicosy Cabriofix which is either attached with seatbelt or ISOFIX base , which also fits onto the chassis for movability
you can also buyv a pram / buggy that fits the chassis , we are still using it at 16 months , but have now upgraded to A Akta Graco Dualogic 2 rear facing seat which should be good till our daughter is 36 months.
The advantage of this seat its the most compact rear facing seat on the market and with a good safety record , we had to import direct from Sweden and can reccommend the vendors.Håkan Svensson
hakan@carseat.se it took 1 week for delivery
and it has wheels which are ecellent for use at airports etc.

Seconded on the Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix...... in the which tests (you can find these online, google them)
the Cabriofix came top in the tests.
You could also do a lot worse than speak to Boobles on here.... he crash tests baby seats for the EU for a living and knows his onions.
Don't just buy on appearance or price, from the research I did last year there are some expensive seats that are poor and vice versa.

We did the "travel system" thing - Jane slalom pro buggy with the rear facing kiddie seat thing.
The facility to pull the car seat out and clip it into the buggy is great if you're transferring a sleeping baby in/out of the car, and the buggy is still in use now (as a regular buggy) even though we've outgrown the car seat.

Be careful which Maxi-cosi you buy as IIRC the cabrio-fix only does for the baby seat and you need to change Iso-fix bases for the toddler seat. The Maxi-Cosi family-fix will work for both the baby and subsequent toddler seats - 'pebble' & 'pearl'.the Cabriofix came top in the tests.

At 9m I recommend this, http://www.maxi-cosi.com/gb-en/carseats/toddler/ax... - it swivels, hoorah!
Is it small enough to go as hand luggage?

Great advice, I found this out the hard way- The maxi-cosi cab is still a fantastic seat though and seems to be the default choice amongst peer group.

We looked at those but thought the belt release button was perfectly setup for the child to release it. At 9m I recommend this, http://www.maxi-cosi.com/gb-en/carseats/toddler/ax... - it swivels, hoorah!
Had to replace both car seats recently after a bump and bought 2 of these, theorey behind the lack of harness is to reduce whiplash injuries.

We have two of these seats they are great for saving you the back pain of leaning into the car to secure the little one. Simply pull back on a leaver and the seat swivels to face you, great!! Oh and our little one (15mths) has not yet worked out how to open the harness as someone suggested may be the case.At 9m I recommend this, http://www.maxi-cosi.com/gb-en/carseats/toddler/ax... - it swivels, hoorah!
If like me you have a bad back these seats are a life saver.
