Britax Trifix car seat

Installed with ISOFIX and a top tether, Britax’s newest car seat for 2012 impressed MFM’s reviewer. From safety features to ease of installation, comfort and durability, the Trifix scored full marks from her. It’s not cheap, but has a lot to offer, including an easy-to-use recline function. The Trifix is a Group 1 car seat (that's roughly 9 months to 4 years).

The best thing to do when looking for a car seat is will it fit in your car will baby -toddler fit safe without the seat moveing about and will your child grow without haveing to buy another one the stage 23 seem a good idea as they will grow with the seat they have and save you the cost there are a lot of seats out there so i would say look on web sites like Halfords , Mothercare , Babbies r us Argos and other places
Then go and look at them and there is Smyths do seats Eddershaws and Mammas & Pappas think of the cost the style and the fit some places will fit the seat for you ask staff for advice and ask if your child can try the saet if they are with you as they are the one uesing it About 2 years ago

What a good looking seat good for a baby then next a toddler then as the child has grown
Start age 9 mths up to 11 or 12 yrs one seat for your little one
The Recaro Young Sport car seat price is £149
I would say ask advice and get information take the little one and see how they look You do need a good seat for safety have a look at seats on the web and then go to stores About 2 years ago

why haven't you featured the Britax Multi-tech car seat? suitable from 9+ months if your child is over 9kg and stays in the rear-facing position until your child reaches 25kg or approx 4 years of age: the safest way for small people to travel. see attached link from Volvo: http://www.volvocars.com/uk/top/my_volvo/volvo-accessories/child-safety/pages/25-kilos.aspx About 1 years ago

Hi Diddymum,

I'm currently chatting to Britax's PR about getting this specialised car seat reviewed. Until we have one of our professional reviewers test it out for us, and it gets an MFM star rating, we aren't happy to include it in our "10 of the best".

We want to ensure everything included in our guides has performed well in our real-life testing!

Cheers,

Hi Diddymum,

Sadly, at this point in time, Britax doesn't wish to pop the Multi-tech car seat up for review. We were chomping at the bit to get it out to one of our top professional reviewers, but Britax's PR has let us know the somewhat tricky specialist fitting means it's not a model the company likes to put up for roadtests.

If the situation changes, we'll be sure to get it trialled. About 1 years ago
