well, he did sigh and ask me how I always managed to find the most expensive of anything! it doesn’t come with tethers too, and we would buy the footrest. I think my other rival would be the bebe confort hipsos – much cheaper, or the rocaro young child seats. I wish there was some way of actually knowing which really was best!

Mmm comment got cut off – the sit’n’stroll looks quite fancy! Just the job for using in taxies and taking away on holiday if you were going without a car though. Have fun browsing – I often think the actual purchase is such an anticlimax LOL!

Helen, we got it shipped from speedwaremotorsports.com The guy there was very helpful. Didn’t work out that much cheaper once it was shipped and we paid the import duty but after having an american seat with tether strap before for the American vehicle we had previously (it had a retractable lap belt in the centre seat and no UK seats fitted properly) I really wanted the tether strap again as it holds them so nicely at the top. It was $840 for two seats >ouch< ! That sit’n’stroll things pretty fancy isn’t it! Looks just the think for using taxies and if you were going away without a car. Have fun browsing for them anyway, I always think the actual purchase is such an anti-climax LOL!

Sarah – the socket is cool, much better for long journeys! Katy they are loads of money but we felt they were worth it considering how long they should last. We got ours from the States because over there they have tether straps and given that the Land Rover seats are quite narrow and high it stops the car seats tipping forward off the seat of the car (iyswim?!) when the kids climb in and out. The other reason I chose them is because you can restrict the adult seatbelt or have it “free”. A lot of the multi age seats we looked at you couldn’t restrict the belt and so the child had free movement forward – we didn’t want that as both T and K kept leaning out and letting their shoulders out of the Graco one we had

Thanks for various comments, we’ve got a Trio in the Punto which SB uses, we could use the same to repalce the Renaissance in the Mondeo but seeing as we just need astage 2 seat or whatever it is for her getting a specific one of those seems just as good an idea. Will look at the Recaro, but much will probably depend on what good deals Kiddiecare are doing at the time…….
