Reco needed: Car Seat

Post by raamv » Sat Apr 14, 2007 10:01 pm

Hi all,
Its time for us to get a couple of car seats:
One for a 10 month old and one for a 4.5 year old
we have looked at some and are thinking about the 2007 models from
Britax: Hi-way ( From 5kk-4 years) and the KidFix (3yrs-10 yrs).
Anyone buy these this year and can share some information.
These info was got from a magazine called Kaksplus.
How about other models like
iZi Comfort ( Euro 239)- we already have this from when it was introduced and have been very pleased with this.
and Besafe 1-2-3 ( 15-36KG Euro 159) or
iZi Combi ( Euro 395, interchangeable in direction but similar to iZi Comfort). All of these are available in LastenTarvike..

Any other recommendations? from Graco etc..
TIA

Hi Raamv,
Thanks for recommending the Izi Comfort. We went and got that model as well. Only thing is that they were all in dark colours - ours is black and there wasn't much selection at Lastentarvike Itäkeskus at least. Now, am wondering if that will be too hot in summer? What do you reckon?

We have the izi comfort in a grey color...That was the only option available..here..But I found out that you can order the clothing from other places like ebay and the US but have not had time to check into that..
THe thing about hot seats being black might not be that true as the fabric is not that thick..its that foam..
Moreover, you can always cover the car seat cover with a thin light colored shawl/liner...to save the seat cover *( we didnt do it ) from spills, food etc..

We are also now going for a booster car seat for our DD and have decided to go with a model from the US called Compass B510-DSY.
when I checked the models in the US, the recorro was also expensive there..so I guess that the Finnish Lasten tarvikes import pretty high end stuff on top of scr*wing parents's pocketbooks..
