mine's tall enough luckily. Which is a good thing cos she's taller than me and if she didn't meet the height to go without a chair I'd need one too LOL

Thing is, I have not realy herd much on the news.

I bet loads of people do not bother.

The best option is to put your kids in the boot.

Because of our car type we had a fucking bother getting a car seat to fit the car. If Alyssa had been one month younger we couldn't have legally put her in the car as no car seat, apart from the one we had would fit the car - And that's with the managers at mothercare and halfords fitting every single car seat that there was available.

The only one they had that did fit Halfords were refusing to sell me cause they thought it was dangerous! How the hell can it be dangerous if it fits the car, fits the baby and is safe? They can't sell it otherwise!

Anyhow, they made me sign a document saying "I knew it was unsafe" when I bought it and they have no liability should anything happen. Fuckers!

Car seat is a gem, the wee one can sit up and watch out the windows and is so much easier to take in and out than the other car seats that were available and shes strapped in properly, no way she is getting out of there...

If we had three kids, we'd need a new car...
Our back seat only seats one car seat (with kid) plus one adult...When Angela, Paul, Stevie and I go out, it's safe to say it's super cramped in the back!

Put them in the boot and it solves all the problems.

Or make them run along side and it gives them good exersise.

Why? Its safe.

Kids can lay down too.

Why put them at risk where they do not want to be tied down. They can have all the freedom in the boot.

Saves them messing up your back seat too.

Plus if the babes do not see the kids you can nod your head and pull them.

Everyones a winner.
