kheldar Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 anyone recommend a good one for the STi ? he's about to get in the area for one that goes from the appropriate weight that will take him from now til either 4 yrs or 1yrs ! been looking at halfords...was looking for a isofix one for ease of use but they seem very few and far between. also it needs to be able to work in a variety of cars....including some that may not support isofix ? does this make a difference to the choice ? thanks steve
kevlorn Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 i found halfords very unhelpfull,and they fitted one in mine,said it was ok...i checked after and you could move the seat from left to right without any problems....very unsafe.....they just didnt have a clue..... i would personally go to mothercare,get them to fit a selection...you can pick the best and then go and order it online as you know it will fit......thats what i did and saved about £30..
kheldar Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 cheers parker. we have checked out halford sas have my parents who are going to get one to. which halfords did u try who were unhelpful ? we will also visit mothercare at the willows again to - we did check them out a month ago but did not actually talk to anyone that visit.
emoe Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Speak to AIRY FAIRY, she has a really good one for the Impreza 07 spec D she has. it locks into the built in system in the subaru.
tazman Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Have you had a look at Recaro? They do one for 9months to 12 years Recaro baby seats Edited June 30, 2008 by Tazman

tazman Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hopefully get our Recaro travel system next week Oh my only 3-4 weeks and our bump arrives (AH)
iainc Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Awsome glad to hear it Recaro all the way When we were looking years ago I thought that although the Recaro looked pretty good, it didn't really seem to have the kind of support a 1 or 2yo needs in a car, esp when they fall asleep. Best bet is to try out a few seats in the car though. We got one that fitted the old scoob perfect, but is a crap fit in the new STi or the wifes Leon. Would definitely recommend an isofix seat if you can find one though as you'll get a better/stronger fixing I'd have thought.
monkip1 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Aww poor kid, Shame the recaros arent that supoportive for the kid falls asleep I sometimes fall asleep at the wheel but thats another storie haha, Yeh the bucket eseats in my P1 are quite supportive i just cant fall asleep no matter how hard i try.
kheldar Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 yeah we're still looking. been a bit busy the past couple weeks to do anything about it ! hoping to get down to mothercare or somewhere this weekend with both the STi and the A3 for some testing.
