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.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
