So, my 13 month old has finally outgrow her group 0 car seat. Yeah yeah, big milestone in a parent’s life, not least because you have to splash out on a new car seat. So off you go, shopping away at all the usual stores. Here’s something they don’t tell you about car seats when you buy your all singing all dancing isofix group 0 infant carryer……….You can’t use that isofix base for the next size up car seat.
See, one of the reasons people buy isofix seats with isofix bases (apart from the touted safety enhancements) is that, in theory, if you have the isofix base, any isofix seat fits into it. Well, technically, that’s true, but only within the group. So you get a group 0 with isofix, other group 0 seats might fit in your isofix base. But now you have to move to a group 1 seat. Hey, I got an isofix base already……..O no you don’t, not for a group 1 seat.
grrrrrrrrrr. Marketing companies never give you the full picture do they? I bet a lot of parents get burned like we did.
Anyhoo….anyone want to buy a group 0 isofix base? I got one going cheap.
