Grandparents car seat recommendations

Joie stages or every stage. Seatbelt install.
Graco slimfit R129 is a great budget option that’s recommended by car seat experts. It’s only around £130 and rear faces to 22kg. We have it as a spare and it’s so easy to move between cars and isn’t isofix. It’s the same as the joie everystage as they’re made by the same parent company, it’s just a bit cheaper cause the fabrics are slightly different x
I really wanted to get the Graco Slimfit R129 but I made a mistake offering too much choice to both grandparents. They ended up wanting isofix and spin so we got the Joie iSpin 360 for both. It won’t last as long as the Slimfit 🙈 However I am very happy with it, little boy looks very comfy, it locks on rearfacing (we’ve not told the grandparents how to unlock it 😬) and I think they find the 360 helpful due to their age 🙂
@Becci I have the iSpin 360 in my car and my mum has it too. But my MIL needs to be able to easily swap between car seats for 8 yr old, 4 yr old, 2 yr old and now an under 1 yr old. She’s a busy popular nanny 😂
@Liza Oh sorry I missed that bit! I’ve seen that the Graco Slimfit r129 is budgetable and recommended (and as above, I’ve been told it’s the same as the Joie Every r129 with the exception of some fabric difference). The only downside being the belt on the side can get in the way (so I was told) but apparently you can move it aside then put back in place once baby is in 😊
Depending on the 9 month olds height you might be able to use an axkid minikid 2, it has auto adjust on the straps and headrest which would help with so many different children using it
We’ve just brought the Graco turn2me DLX for MIL car. Really impressed with it and happy with it so far ☺️ the graco slimfit R129 is also a good low budget option
