I am using a 2nd hand car seat for my baby too, the real challenge is how to put him in without the crying which can really unsettle me  :crying:
Have something to entertain the kid (like favourite toy, blanket....) play some kid music. My girl cried a few times and I just let her cry. After a while, she don't cry anymore in seat because she knows its useless.

And regarding not putting the child in a carseat, please don't even think about it.  Remember the accident on the NS highway.

Strongly agreed. Look at number of accidents on the roads nowadays. Its not how careful or slow you drive. Its how the other drivers behave too. My dad was a car seat skeptic at first too but 5 days after my girl was born, he was rear-ended (old corolla). Luckily we were not in the car. Now he knows better. :thumbsup:

I didn't go to the Ubi shops. went to shop along orchard road belt as my wife has got alot of vouchers from goodness know where.  :scared: anyways, decided to get the Britax Royale from Taka liao.. BUT didn't buy it on the spot as the sales person said there is going to be a baby fair on the 8th of Aug.  :thumbsup:

FamilyManz, my kiddo coming on the 18th of Aug. EDD Anybody else around this time?? Me going to be at TMC.

Congrats! Enjoy your baby as much as you can! They grow up so fast! Sounds odd but I miss waking up to feed and change my girl.
The Britax Royale is a really nice and plush seat! You might want to still get a cheap basinet though because the convertibles are kinda deep and might be uncomfortable for a baby's short legs. Easier to carry baby home if he/she falls asleep in it too. :thumbsup:

Hi FamilyManz, mind telling me which forum is that? I have a 2yrs+ girl and we always go outing during weekend, be it in Singapore or Malaysia (That's also the reason we got the Latio). Thanks

Hi folks, been surfing the net the whole morning trying to find a car seat for my little one coming in mid Aug. So far, Britax and Cosco seems to be the better brands. I'm looking for those suitable from birth to about 4 years old kind. budget about $300++.  From some of the parenthood forums there is mention that not all car seats fit properly in different cars. So am wondering what Lation are using.

Comments, Advises Lobangs?

u can consider this :)

I dun really recommend those from birth til 4+...... but to each his own rah :)

Digging up this thread as i am looking for a car seat now, intending for a combination one from newborn to 18kg.

Is it true that latio sedan 2007 manufacture does not support isofix system?
Is it really better to have a isofix system car seat?

Looking at britax now as i heard it is a reputable, robust and sturdy brand.

Any of you using this brand? If yes, which model do u recommend?  I have been hearng alot of royale and first class plus.


Thanks in advance!
