General Car Seats Reviews

This review probably isn't for everyone, I own a baby and a baby car seat but not a car, so my experiences are based on the necessity of this product using buses and taxi's and whatever else.

I would like to let all mothers-to-be what a waste of time it is buying a Mothercare bottle warmer. I was given one as a gift not long after my daughter was born, and thinking it would be quicker than boiling the kettle, i gave it a go. When i switched it on it took just as long to heat up as the kettle did and heated the bottle in the ...  Read the complete review

This is not an opinion about car seats, but my experience of buying one. Last December, I was about 14 weeks pregnant. I was really excited about being pregnant and wanted to buy a car seat straight away because I'd read it could be weeks to order one. Also I was in the mood. Glad I did it so soon because now I am 32 ...  Read the complete review

Now I have always believed that everybody who travels in a car should wear a seat belt but there are some who think that they are to good to crash and I have seen them letting their kids dance around in the back of the car no belts or chairs to hold them in and it amazes me that even though we hear of people killed in car crashes ...  Read the complete review

Isn't it about time someone invented a car seat that a toddler can't get out of. All seats seem to have the same strap design and any determined toddler can wriggle their arms out of the straps and then climb out, no matter how tightly it is fastened. My eldest daughter was constantly climbing out of the seat from ...  Read the complete review

I am a novice with the internet I so I can't be to critical but I found it hard to follow ! - Advantages: You can get the opinions of a lot of opinianated people - Disadvantages: Difficult to navigate, Quickly gets tediouse

Sorry this is in the wrong place - but wasn't quite sure where to put it.I've been prompted to write this opinion after reading the other 2 opinions on Travel Systems. Whilst both of these opinions say some very true facts I feel that I must put my oar in and disagree, especially with the comment that they are bought by young ...  Read the complete review

We bought a Ford Focus estate car because we are due to have a baby and thought that the extra boot space would come in handy. We haven't had any problems apart from when it came to try to get a baby car seat to fit. Because of the air bag, the (rearward facing) seat has to be fitted into the back. We had reserved a ...  Read the complete review

Whilst at Uni i worked for two years as an assistant manager for mothercare. One of the things that shocked me was peoples lack of knowledge about car seats. We all know that it is sense to have one, but to get the best one? When you need a seat, because the old one is approaching its weight limit or for a new born child, cost is ...  Read the complete review

I will start off by saying sorry if this opinion is in the wrong place.As a mother of two children I feel it is very important to fit and choose the correct car seat.Most parents choose an infant carrier car seat to protect there newborn baby.These seats are suitable until your child reaches 10kg or 13kg(depending on the design)then you ...  Read the complete review

PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS OPINION . We recently went to Mothercare world in Aberdeen to buy a larger baby car seat for our baby . We chose the model we wanted and ask the assistant if she coukld fit it . Off we trundled to the car park and opened the car . The assistant "fitted" the car seat . She anounced ...  Read the complete review

Did you know that 90% of child deaths in road accidents are down to child seats that are fitted incorrectly? Ah yes you say but that wouldn’t happen to my child, I drive too safely. Well did you know that if your car crashes at just 5mph an unrestrained child could be catapulted forward with enough force to kill an adult? Grisly ...  Read the complete review

When I was young, my family used to travel by car to spain driving through france for about 3 days. Me, My brother and sister were all sitting in the back of the car with no seatbelts or car seats when tiny. I cannot believe how lucky we were to survive any serious accidents. Car seats were not about then and seatbelts did not have to ...  Read the complete review

I think car seats for kids should be compulsory for all small children. We have had one for my daughter ever since she was born, it's best to be safe than sorry. However, it does get me mad the amount of children I see sitting behind the front seats in the middle of the passenger and driver side. It's so dangerous, and if an accident did ...  Read the complete review

There are quite of lot of different baby seats in the shops, but none that will stop your child from taking his/hers arms out of the safety seat belt (the one that comes with the baby seat). You are driving along while you just realised that your child has taken their arms out of the safety straps. As you tell your child to put ...  Read the complete review

It makes me really cross when I see young children in cars who are not wearing seat-belts, but insist on kneeling up on the back seat and waving at me through the rear window. I wish I had a penny for every child that I saw without their belts on - I'd make a fortune! I have also seen young children in the front passenger ...  Read the complete review

To all parents, grandparents or anyone who has children in their car, even if it is only once and only for a ride down the road, please please please ensure that they are either strapped into a safe car seat i.e. one that has not been involved in a car accident or if they are older ensure that they are belted in one the back seat of the ...  Read the complete review

Please, please do not take it upon yourself to improvise with your childrens car seats. Years of designing and testing goes into car seats yet we still see seats being improperly used. Always make sure your seat is fitted according to the instructions, get someone from the shop to demonstrate. If they can't or ...  Read the complete review

One thing that does worry me are those parents who correctly strap their children into car seats but then decide to forego wearing their seatbelts. What do they think they are playing at ? Surely in an accident their child would survive and they probably wouldn't or their face would be pretty messed up. What happens if the ...  Read the complete review

I really can't believe that you still see loose children in cars. Are parents stupid? Or just so completely self-centred, because you can put money on the fact that they will be strapped in. My husband is in the Fire And Rescue Service and has first hand knowledge of what happens to a unsecured child in an accident - You really ...  Read the complete review
