| i know it isnt very festive but i was just looking at the john lewis sale and it got me thinking - elijah is 7 months now and his car seat theoretically could do him to 12-15 months. however, his shoulders look squished already and i have never really liked that car seat (its a funny shape! hubby agrees).
any second car seat recommendations? i think probably 9 month plus (although sooner ones dont seem to last as long?) |

| We have a maxi cosi Toby and are very happy with it. It has straps that ping apart when you undo them making life a little easier. |

| We have the maxi Cosi Tobi too and its great - very easy to use, tightens up easily and shows green when tight enough, you can lengthen the straps just by pushing the crotch strap down and pulling the straps (no fiddly thing to push in like others have) , the straps pop up out of the way, easy to recline, very comfy..and more importantly it does not budge once its fixed in!
I love it! |

| Hahaha I also have maxi cosy toby!! I love it. It is so comfortable (not that ive sat in it of course!). It also depends on what car you have. When we went to get ours The Toby was the only one that would fit in out car as its all to do with where the buckles sit on the seat. I did not know this so I am so glad I went somewhere that fit the carseat x |
