Car seat - All stages
Looking for recommendations for a car seat 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Our boy is nearly 5 months... and is quite big + long... growing faster than I can keep buying clothes! We currently have the isofix seat which came as part of the travel system, he is at max with the head rest height - And, quite frankly I am finding it rather difficult to maneuver/lift/carry him in the seat (He's 21lbs)
I don't know much about car seats, so will be potentially going to Halfords for advice. But, looking for Mamas recommendations on spin all stages seats? Looking online and finding it baffling!
Looking for something that will last as long as possible, but looking for the rotation aspect to help me 😅🥴
Thank you 🙆♀️

We have the Joie R129 Every Stage for both our boys (3yrs and 9 months) and would recommend. The only thing that annoys me is the seat belt gets in the way a bit when in rear facing mode but its a great budget seat that can be used as a booster seat once they've outgrown the rear facing mode.
Have you got a picture of him in his current seat? Just wondering if there's some adjustments you can make to the fit. As Reena said, spin seat isn't going to last you long, it will force you to turn him forward facing before he's old enough as he's larger than the average baby.

If your child is big at 5 months so 50th centile above I wouldn't recommend a spin seat or all stages. They only go to 105cm/18kg and baby will outgrow before they reach a safe booster height. Spin seats are also very bulky. All stages seats also aren't always the best for fit as they try to do too many things do they don't do one of the things well. The best thing would be to see a specialist retailer near you who sell the ERF 25/36kg seats and get advice from them and try the seats in your car.
