Thanks, everyone. for your replies.

Like Sarah, I'm pretty sure that I'll end up with a Babylove Primo, then change to a toddler seat at around 6 months too. My sister has a convertible seat for her DD and everytime she wants to take baby out for even a few mins, say to duck into the shops or even to go to church, she's had to wake baby. Plus she, and I, used a rocker for all our kids when they were wee and if the Babylove Primo doubles as one anyway, it'll mean I won't have to fork out for a rocker as well.

The other consideration is the fact that so many of the convertibles are not meant for small cars. With a Corolla hatchback, my car isn't tiny, but I would still need to buy a seat to fit the car, not necessarily buy the seat I wanted.

I haven't looked at getting the pram to suit, Sarah. DH is very much in charge (in his own mind) of getting the pram and he's partial to the Bertini Sport Shuttle, so unless I can change his mind...

love
