Hi ED folk

My 10 month old son is close to outgrowing the car seat we've had since birth and I'm after advice on the best one to get going forward.

We'd obviously like to get one that will last him till he doesn't need a full car seat anymore but he's still small now - I assume they have inserts you can take out as they grow?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Many thanks!

Hi there,


I've posted before recommending rear-facing and Margaret Bolt's excellent in-home car seat advice service. She is passionate and knowledgable about the safest car seats on the market and lots of friends have used her following my recommendation.


Her number is

07752 253499


And here is the post I made a while back:

Hi, we have used the Maxi Cosi Axiss.

The seat swivels 90 degrees to face the door to allow for easy access when strappjng your child in. Then simply swivel the seat into the frobt facing position.

It doesn't fit into all cars, but the maxi cosi website has a guide stating which cars it will for into to.

We have found it brilliant and use them for our 3 year old and 2 year old.

I thoroughly recommend this website www.carseat.se great info on site and very helpful regarding advice via email. We have got a Britax Two Way Elite, up to 25kg. Very happy with the seat which we have got rear facing, but can be changed to forward facing when child is older. Really recommend this car seat. Good luck!
We have the Two Way Elite for our eldest and also love it, still very comfortable for him rear-facing at almost 4 and see it lasting several more years til he's 25kg. We got ours from Milton Keynes originally - I don't think Margaret sells the TWE but she knows all about it and can advise on it or equivalents. We needed a non-tethered one for our second rear-facing seat and so went for the Hauck Varioguard (18kg limit) which our daughter loves, really comfortable looking and very high so gives a good vantage point. The good thing about having the TWE already is that we know we can rear-face our youngest child til 6 or 7 years which is fab and meant we didn't have to choose a 25kg one (bit more expensive) given our age gap.

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
