Sure, but the person I was responding to was asking for opinions on the flu vaccine. Unless there are legitimate worries or concerns, it's not a big deal

Oh I agree it's not a big deal whichever choice he makes. :)


Back on topic I'm very proud of both of mine.. they came and swam.with me in the Atlantic ocean. First time they've been in the ocean. Lots of seas in the past but this was more tricky owing to the waves and it was a little cool. They lasted 30mins! :cool:

Hello fellow Dads. I come in search of car seat recommendations. My eldest is moving on past her Maxi Cosi Axiss (youngest is just ready to go in to it, result!) and I'm therefore looking for her final seat up to 12/whatever kg it is. Pls help me, car seats are irritating to research.
 
That looks good tbf. We opted for a rotating chair so it was a little easier to deal with the shoulder straps, I didn't know there was a way to just skip them entirely! How does your smol deal with the big cushion, just a non-issue?
 
Hah, that's quite a fun car seat.

I went to Smyth's toys - ended up with an exdisplay maxi Cosi. Works great - we are now onto actual seat belt vs. straps. Should last her a while.

Inb4 rear facing till theyre 15.

We went for the Axkid Minikid 2, that will last them until they are old enough to safely forward face.

:cry:. Backed boosters save so much more space compared to those harnesses ones. Much cheaper too.

Ours went through three.
The baby one from the travel system. Then once big enough a joie spin 360.
Then once outgrown that, this one :

We have at least one of these, Think we paid half this for a similar model that uses isofix hooks for the others, (hard to remember exactly we have 4, two in each car!)

The only thing about looking at up to 12 seats I would mention is a lot drop the isofix. Meaning depending on the car / model they can shift about it if not restrapped in when the kids aren't sat in them.

I drive rear facing. Don't know what you mean.... :D

We use Joie seats here but even my youngest is almost at seatbelt only. We weren't bothered about removing the car seat many times, just something that was easy to get them in and out of.

We never bought into the spinning ones or the highly complex ones.

@Zefan what are your priorities? Easy removal of seat? One and done? From what I understand you want to get one that your youngest can move into when your eldest is on a booster or seatbelt only?
