mike f and holy count beat me. holy count: thats so true and another (much bigger) subject all together.

Mines only 7 at the moment and I have lost count.
She seems to think if she looks at you in a certain way and blinks her eyes etc sh will get what she wants.
Does not quite work, not everytime anyway. she now uses pretty pretty pretty please, with a cherry on the top.

WHERE do they learn these things ?  Kids are born psychologists !!

With a 'First Class' degree

and me again   another advice: plan to buy one seat from now till she is 4 (appx 18kg) and another one from then till 11-12 (which has extendable and removable back), so in total 3 seats from newborn till she is grown out of all of them

yeah that's the plan, she's only 10 months old but 25lb+ already and tall like me (6'3") (me not her ) she's too long for her infant carrier so going to step up to forward facing for a few years then finaly a high back booster when she's 40lb / 4 years. (how much do babies cost :o)

shame isofix is to modern for my old miggy i'm not overly confident in seatbelt fixing :-/

Thousands and Thousands and Thousands, and oh Thousands, but we love them don't we.

A tip for fitting you child seat, put it in and then put you knee in the seat, use your full weight to pushe the seatinto the car seat and fix the seatbelt. do his and it will not move. I was tought by the local council road safety team.  

cheers Mike top tip, what about leather seats? will they get wrecked? :-/

Not sure about leather, or mig seat bounced back after years. Leather might scrape or scratch, perhaps a piece of cloth, or similar to protect the leather, depends, perhaps, on how smooth the bottom of the child seat is, may be a good idea anyway, thinking about it.

Shame to wreck them as back seats are in good nick and do scratch easy - cloth under seat me thinks

well, my experience is only with maxi cosi. you buckle it, then press as hard as you can onto it and tighten the seatbelt before closing the seatbelt in the red thingi at the back of the seat. best use a cloth between leader seats of the car and baby seat. if you press hard enough, the seat should not have any play. from time to time just make sure its still tight. wouldnt think there is that much difference with or without isofix. problem with seatbelts is that people dont fit those seats properly and leave them too loose  

on top of that, if you press the child seat hard in the car seat, as you are supposed to, with time you may be left with grooves in the car seat, depending of the shape of the rear of the child seat. thus i use a small (but thick) blanket in between. hope this helps

meant to say leather
but you should be able to understand me

[Vamps]

Yes DC, we understand you, thanks.
