Advantages: Light weight, well padded and is a doddle to fit in your car.

Disadvantages: Not compatible with an Isofix bar, but so simple to install it really dosn't matter!

It's hard to know what to look for as a first time parent when faced with so many different travel seats. I wanted something that combined maximum safety, comfort and ease of use. The last thing I wanted was to buy an all singing and dancing car seat that I found impossible to install in my car. We looked at lots of different models by different manufacturers, some that were compatible with the Isofit Bars (or the Mothercare equivalent) and others that could be fastened using seatbelts.

In the end we were recommended by a friend to look at the MY4 Travel system which came with the Mothercare Travel Tot care seat. Straight away I like the design. It was light weight and yet with its side impact protection and interior cushioning it looked robust and comfortable. I especially like the curved base which allows rocking and the detachable sun screen (not shown in this image), which effectively protects baby from bright sunlight. The seat is easy to fit into the car using a seatbelt - after watching my husband do it once I managed to fit it myself quickly and easily. Once strapped in it is very steady and secure. The button at the base of the chair makes it easy and quick to adjust the straps and the harness pads are both soft as well as easy to wash.

This car seat gives great piece of mind whenever baby travels with us in the car. I highly recommend this car seat.

* This is an Infant Group 0 car seat suitable from 0 to 15 aprox. As I purchased it as part of a travel system I do not know the it's price individually*

Summary: It fullfills every requirment of an effective car seat.
