from Atherton, Manchester on 7/15/2008
This car seat looks good, with nice colours, but all is not as it seems. There is no padding beneath the cover material, expect for the head cushion. I bought 2 of these seats, I don't regret it though as they were value for money. A well known catalogue shop, and a car accessories shop sell exactly the same car seat, but more expensive & with a different fabric. I'm a dab hand with a sewing machine and intend to make some padding myself for beneath the covers.
Not great for young infants, but fine for older babies.
Very easy to install, I especially like the recline action.
Would recommend for older babies.

This is a perfect short trip car seat for grand parents - its not the most comfortable seat but perfect for occasional use and for the price.
from Edinburgh on 7/14/2008
Did not find it difficult to set up, very easy clip on harness, unlike some other seats I have used.....so a definate plus for me.
Yes, perhaps a little extra padding would be nicer, but for short journeys this is not a huge issue.

i purchased this to use when i have my grandson .
it was very light and easy to fit in the car it also reclines if child falls asleep.
from Rugby on 7/13/2008
I brought this to go on holiday with as I didn't want my 'good' one being thrown about on the plane. Great value. The only really bad thing has been that when you tighten the straps, the metal clasp that you pull the strap through (under the material) has come off!!!

from Plymouth, Devon on 7/9/2008
Car seat was easy to fit and adjust around our daughter and she loves the new found space, along with the excellent views she now gets from the car windows.

Fantastic realy pleased.
from surrey on 6/20/2008
l use it for everyday use
from Ipswich on 6/18/2008
A bit fiddly to fit for the very first time, but thereafter no problem.
The product may be of good value, however, the quality of the product is not very good. The straps are very fiddly and keep on getting entangled. Its okay for a short distance trip, but overall, its not very comfortable to use.
from burton on 6/13/2008
i love this product.
from East Sussex on 5/22/2008
Perhaps I'm just getting old but fitting it was fiddly! Good value for the odd times I'll need it.

from Cornwall on 5/20/2008
We needed a spare carseat to leave in grandparent's car, abroad. It would get very little use over the years, but would be necessary when we visit for holidays. I spotted this product and couldn't believe the price. When it arrived, both my 11 month old and 4 year old tried it. It is a nice fit for both, secure and easy to fit into the car. The only downside is that it's not as comfortable as the more expensive brands and you do need the padded headrest to cushion out the bumps they'd otherwise feel from the seat's mould/frame. But as it's going to get little use and the price is so great, it's fine...you can always use buggy liners or a folded fleecy blanket to make it more comfy.
from South Wales on 5/15/2008
Great for short journeys in second car, wouldn't be happy to use this as my main carseat and for long trips. doesnt seem that solid and has little padding!!
from glos on 5/14/2008
easy to fit lightweight and comfortable
from sand dancer on 5/13/2008
easy to use , its all good , highly recommended , arrived very fast, stops me breaking my back trying to carry my son in the portable car seat and the shopping at the same time!!
from London on 5/12/2008
We don't have a car but have this very useful for grandparents' cars and taxis as it's very easy to put in and take out.
Probably want something more substantial for everyday use but for occassional use this is perfect and at a great price.

from south wales on 5/6/2008
Is good for older babies does not recline enough to prevent head lolling forward for younger babies.
Easy to fit forward or rear facing will be good when baby is a bit bigger.
from Leics. on 4/29/2008
Lightweight and durable compared to others. I'd say good value dfor the prioce, though lacks padding which makes the seat uncomfortable for long journeys
from Llanelli, Dyfed on 4/28/2008
lovely lightweight seat, beautiful colour, instructions were clear and easy to read, unfortunatly i cannot recline it due to seat in the car not being perfectly flat horizontally or vertically. shoulder protectors are minimal and not really neccessary from what i can tell. i am happy with my purchase, dont get me wrong! baby loves it and has lots of room to get comfortable but is very safe. was extremly easy to fit facing forwards, belt just goes through the back, not fiddly at all. simple clip stops movement.

Purchased carry bag with this product. Very useful item.
from braintree, essex on 4/19/2008
my partner works for courtesy car company and brings home a different car every evening. we found that our existing ?70 car seat did not fit in all cars. we have tried this bargain in different cars for 2wks and it fits all makes and models.
our son is now 5 months and looks really secure and comfy. not too sure whether it would have enough support for newborn though.
from london on 4/15/2008
good value for money
seems comfortable and safe
from Lanelli south wales on 4/9/2008
Really good for the price. Ideal as a second car seat or for the grandparents.Not as comfortable as the leading brands but can buy a cushioned cover if need be or use a blanket for extra padding. Ideal for short trips. easy to fit.
from Bonnybridge on 4/5/2008
this car seat is perfect I don't need more it's lightweight easy to use and comfortable
from Warwickshire on 4/4/2008
All round not a bad seat. I'm of the opinion, why spend hundreds on a car seat when you don't have to? My son seems quite happy and comfortable in this. Although it did have something wrong with it when it arrived (printed label on the back of the seat what already peeling off, but you get what you pay for i suppose!)
from S Yorks on 3/11/2008
as stated before the cover could have more padding.
from dorset on 3/11/2008
This product was not compatible with my car. The stlye of clip fastening made the seat unsafe when installed. Loads of movement of the seat when fitted as tightly as I could get it.
from Leicester on 3/11/2008
Ideal purchase for second car - doesn't feel as substanial as more expensive car seat but does the job perfectly!
Product is advertised as suitable from birth, however when we tried to install it in our car rearward facing it jiggled about so much we did not feel safe putting our child in it. Once the baby is big enough for it to be front facing it seems like it will fit securely. But i would not recommend this whilst you need a rearward facing car seat, and would definitly return it if i wasn't out of time!
from LONDON on 3/9/2008
WHAT YOU PAID ITS WHAT YOU GOT. THE CAR SEAT ARE OK, BUT IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR BABY CAUSE IS NOT SOFT. YOU NEED TO BUY A CUSHION OR ULTIMAX PADDED TO SOFTEN THE SEAT UP AND IT DON'T HAVE SUPPORT OR PROTECTION WHEN THE CHILD IS SLEEP.. I WILL SAY IT'S MORE IN A 2-4 YEARS AGE RANGE GROUP.

just what you want great product and not expensive
from Falmouth on 2/8/2008
really good for us as partner uses in their car for journeys to and from nursery
from Essex/Suffolk border on 2/7/2008
I decided to buy a cheap seat to last a few months when she'd out grown her first seat, at 6m, but wasn't big enough to go into her big sisters old one, at 10m. I chose it becase it reclines and becase it could be placed facing backwards (a safer way to travel). However the straps are difficult to tighten & it was very awkward to get her out because the car's seat belt is in the way. I never felt confident that she was really safe.
from Luton on 1/30/2008
I already have a 'branded' Car Seat but I bought this Car Seat to put into nanny & granddad's car so cost was a factor as I could'nt afford paying over ?100 for another seat, however I didn't want to compromise on safety. This seat doesn't feel as 'solid' as my branded car seat & it doesn't offer any side impact protection either but it does conform to safety standards & is a good, modern design & is just perfect for trips to town with the grandparents! Overall I am very happy with my purchase but for me personally if this is going to be your only/main car seat I would try to save a little longer & buy a well known branded car seat that offers just that little more protection & sturdiness for complete peace of mind.
from Norfolk on 1/26/2008
Bought for Grandson, so not much day to day use.
Good value for money for the occasional user
from fife on 1/25/2008
Bought this car seat for our second car as had bought a very popular but very expensive one for our main car. This is a great car seat and made me wonder why I had spent so much on my main one.
from Wigan, Lancs on 1/25/2008
We needed 3 car seats, one for me one for my husband and one for my mother in law who looks after the baby whilst we are at work. The description and picture makes the seat look better quality than it actually is. They are OK for now but as the baby grows we will need to replace them for better quality seats. [...]
from somerset on 1/25/2008
Great value car seat for maybe use in a 2nd car, is padded and comfy and is a secure fit.
Obviously you get what you pay for so not as luxurious as some of the other car seat but it also has a recline facilty.
from Hertfordshire on 1/20/2008
Great value for money....does what it says on the tin!!
from Cornwall on 1/16/2008
This car seat is used in our second car so we dont have to change car seats all the time. It is perfect for this as it was very good value. It would not be good for your main car seat as it is quite hard and uncomfortable for the child to sit in for a lengthy journey. It does still have the usual features of reclining position and washable and removable covers, however I would imagine that the type of material it is, wouldn't last very long with too many washes as it feels quite cheap. As I say, perfect for occasional use and we are pleased with it for that reason.
from Sheffield on 1/11/2008
I brought this car seat as a backup to save having to constantly switch seats between my car and my wife?s. Our other seat is a Britax Duo Plus Isofix which is great quality but at almost 5 times the price, difficult to justify for simply doing the nursery run.
This seat is not very good quality with straps that can be fiddly to adjust and little in the way of padding to keep my tot comfortable on a long journey.
For the price I would say it was ok but I would not recommend it if for long journeys due to the poor quality of the padding.
from Nr ipswich on 1/8/2008
Purchased this for our grandson to use in our car.It is value for money but fiddly and confusing to install,but does the job.
