“ThumbsUP! Thursday” #3

It’s once again Thursday and with it comes this weeks retailer recommendation! This retailer is someone I happen to know personally. She’s a hard working woman with a knowledge base like Google. I swear I have yet to see there’s something she doesn’t know about car seats. hehe Lets hear it for…   Rear FacingRead more

Mystery Shopping – ‘Mothercare’ #1

Yesterday I decided that while I was in Milton Keynes to get some bits and pieces I would do “Mystery-shopping” at Mothercare. They have just released a new catalogue, they even have five extended rear facing seats available for purchase now! (And one coming out in October!) If not in store, then you can findRead more

Thursday – Online Retailer Recommendation!

I’ve decided to start a weekly recommendation of retailers! Every Thursday I will make a post on a retailer I have either just found and want to recommend, or it can be an old one I already have on my list. I’ll be pondering about a name for this tradition as well, feel free toRead more

Group 1 seats!

“IS there a difference in testing and quality?” A reblogg of a friend of mine’s exelent information post on Group 1 seats and the difference between ALL the testing that we do here in Europe. She also brilliantly explains why, in car seats as with a lot of other products, you really do get whatRead more

Prince George is here!

A well made point! I feel that people look at this too lightly. It’s not about weather or not they would or would not be in an accident, because yeh, that is minimal, but it’s about what you represent and how you present. And also it is dangerous for a baby to not be strappedRead more

And Then There Was i-Size!

I must apologize for not posting too much these days, I have so much I want to write about.  Thinking of it I should really try putting up more drafts when I have time, and then have them publish then and then! hehe It’s just the summer time isn’t it? We don’t have time toRead more

The Sun KILLS!

Every year there is sadly at least one incident in the media of a parent leaving their child in the car. Luckily this doesn’t always end in tragedy, but far tooRead more

BeSafe – Baby

Not too long ago I decided to try and switch the kids around in the car. As a result, Caitlyn ended up in the ‘Joie’ , and Henry ended up in the ‘BeSafe’. So this is now how they look in the car, all happy and jolly. The ‘BeSafe’ is higher up then the ‘Joie’,Read more

Joie Stages – A Toddler’s Point of View!

So recently I decided to switch the little ones around, putting Henry (9 mo) in the ‘BeSafe’ and Caitlyn Anabelle (29 mo) in the ‘Joie’, and see how that would work out. I wanted to see how much room she would have, just to give me a clue really, I’ve seen a lot of questionsRead more

Room with a view…

A lot of people ask me if I’m not afraid that I wont see my rear facing children. They also ask me about the legs, wont there be a leg issue? A room issue? What if we crash and their legs are “like that”, wont that damage them? – and so forth. A lot ofRead more

Joie Stages – A closer look

Henry is very comfy in the Joie Stages. It rear faces to 18KG and can then be used forward facing as a HBB (high back booster) to 25KG. (more info on this car seat can be found –> HERE!) As you can see he has tons of room. The headrest is adjustable with ease. YouRead more

“How long does a 0+ car seat last?”

This is Henry in he’s Graco Junior. He’s 8,5 months old at the picture, he’s in a cloth nappy which does take up a bit more space then a disposable so keep that in mind. He’s a 98th percentile child of 76 CM (30inch) long and 10.5 KG. (approx. 21lb) He has a longish torsoRead more

I can’t make up my mind!
