Advantages: Comfortable, safe Disadvantages: heavy
I was recommended to buy this car seat by a friend and now I can see why they rated it so highly.
Which magazine have rated Maxi Cosi as one of their safest car seats and it's been a great buy for us.
The seat itself is very well padded and comes with a head hugger which has extra padding on it which is velcroed on. You easily detach this once your baby has out grown it. The head hugger is really great though for when your baby is tiny. It gives that extra comfort and support which a newborn needs. The head hugger stayed in our car seat until our baby was 5 months old. The padding around the rest of the seat is really sound comfortable but not so overly padded that it seems too soft and therefore not safe.
When the baby is sat in it it doesn't hunch them up like in other car seats, instead the baby is well supported and has ...
Advantages: Cheap Thermarest Mat, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Size
Thermarest mats have been at the top of any kit list for keen campers such as myself. I spent about 5 years sleeping on those terrible closed cell foam mats. It was during a 5 day long expedition that i woke up with a bad neck and said "Im getting a thermarest."
I searched the market for a thermarest pad that suited my needs. The first mat i purchased was my Luxury Edition Camprest mat which was about £100. This is a great mat, and when ever there is a car available to be my porter i will pack this. I then purchased a Perforance Series Ultralight mat. This is used when im climbing high in the mountains where a massive mat lashed to the side of your bag just doesent help your performance. Finally i decided to try one of the discovery series mats, mats that i had outcast earlier.
To my amazement i was introduced to a mat that could ...
Advantages: Easy to fit and fasten up Disadvantages: Doesn't really last that long
When I was pregnant I saw everyone with this car seat and also using it as a push chair. I thought great, I'll have one of them. Get the baby out of the car and straight on it's wheels - perfect. However when I went into Edershaws Cardiff, I was advised that the car seat was the best on the market but the baby should only really be in there for a maximum of two hours - ideally only half an hour due to the breathing problems a slunched up baby may occur. This gave me doubts about the wheels bit.
As I had a very small car at the time, the maxi cosi car seat fitted perfectly in the back and it was light to carry I only bought the seat and opted for a different push chair.
The car seat it's self is great for up to the age of around 7-8 months really as I found that she was getting to heavy to carry from one place to the other.
I love ...
