I'll need a 9mth+ car seat for Finn soon and we are considering one of these :-
http://www.bambinodirect.co.uk/details2.as...1Aod9GzMXQ

Not the cheapest around but its fully Isofix with a front leg for extra stability, Yet can also be used in non-Isofix cars.

Has anyone got one in their Fl2 and does it fit nicely?

Also it needs to fitable in :
Merc E class (newest type)
Toyota Yaris (newest type)
VW golf mk5

Any advice gratefully recieved  At work

i would go to Mothercare or were ever has one and try it in the actual car, to make sure it fits and to see wether you'll need a top tether

I think they do a fit finder on the maxi-cosy website which should say if it fits the other cars too.

I have a Maxi-Cosy Tobi, (Not isofix) which look similar and it fits the FL2 great as they have a high up seating position to look out the windows etc

As for the cost, when its can be isofixed or not it makes it more versitile and worth the extra, and when it come to kids safety money doesn't really play a factor.

Ignore my post asking for advice in stage 2 seats, just been to a site and bought one

www.twoleftfeet.co.uk they have a 10% discount on orders over £150 finishing today and got a good discount on it as it automatically gave a 10% recaro discount £125rrp reduced to £110 less discount £103 so i bought it anyway, hope it fits  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've heard dreadful stories about twoleftfeet, cheap for a reason, their service is poor, items out of stock despite the site. Let us know how you get on.

Not really sure why you need isofix for group 1, as you are less likely to take the seat out, and seatbelt held seats are as good. But best advice is to try out the seat in the car with baby, check out reviews and then decide, no need to rush these important decisions. I'm personally going to look at the Bebeconfort Axiss - http://www.bebeconfort.com/collection-2008/UK/voiture_axiss.htm Phil

i'll let you know how i get on, paid by Credit card so i'll have that security

When they had the offer on, it automatically had a 10% discount applied even thought i hadn't spent £150

I rang them up to ask 1) if i spent over £150 would i get the extra discount 2) to speak to somebody at the company to clarify something on the seat

She was quite abrupt when she said i wouldn't get the extra discount, but she also sounded like she had had a hard day at work, she answered the questions and i said i will place my order.......[she perked up].........online

I hope she wasn't commission based, if so, she should have been nicer on the phone and the colour i choose was more expensive that the others, but it came through the checkout at the cheaper price  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

CG I agree on the ISOFIX side, class 1 have there own seatbelts so the cars are always securing the seat, if installed correctly

If you are going to be giving Finn to gran & grandad and they have to fit in the seat themselves, go for the ISOFIX seat if there cars have the attachemnt bars, as they will be less chance of the seat been installed incorrectly.

My wifes autie & uncle have there own seat, and i have given them a word or two due to the slackness of the cars seat belt  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

We bought stuff from twoleft feet before .. no problems though probably not a good place for buying shoes
Isofix just seems so much more secure, our current seat has the isofix base with front leg and is rock solid. I do like the idea of that swivelling seat though. Plenty of time to decide yet, Ill choose one in a shop but buy it in January hopefully in sales.

well as you may have read i order my new car seat from www.TWOLEFTFEET.co.uk

Got a email (most likely automated) saying my order was been processed and that was that, still not received a car seat from them, even though it was in stock and i should have had it with 3-5days.

I have rang them and you get a message saying sales and aftersales are in completely different buildings and when you select aftersales it says due to a move, you need to email them.

Emails sent, faxes sent and letter sent witha stamp on it, none of which have been answered. I rang sales last week and she spoke to aftersales, but aftersales didn't phone me back as promised. rang the following day and was told they can't call aftersales, and they have to email them on the same email address i have to use

So one of them was lying to me, I sent them a letter by fax, post and email saying if i hadn't got a eta for delivery i was cancelling my order, and still they haven't bothered to contact me

I my opinion NEVER EVER use this company, some reviews i have since found are astonishly bad and my experience has confirmed them, if only i looked for the reviews before i ordered. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Sorry to hear about that...beats me how companies like that manage to carry on trading. They do have a showroom so I guess they just haven't sorted their online processes. Phil

just a update on the saga

I still stand completely by what i have said, but I called them yesterday and said they had received a letter cancelling my order, and they had a fine i pass the message on, it will take 30 day and whose bothered attitude.

later i got a call from them, saying they had received my letter and the item was all ready to dispatch and they would do it next day delivery, anyway let them deliver it and it came earlier.

So as another review i read said, cancelling a order can do lots, and get things actioned.

ANYWAY ANYBODY GOT ANYMORE INFO ON THE SEAT CG's LOOKING AT  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Dont care anymore its gone too off topic, I'm taking my bat home


I shall be driving to a shop I know in York where you drive indoors for a seat fitting,by an expert not a trainee ..then buy it cheap on the net  At work
