Car Seats??

Another vote for the maxi rider.
Expensive but worth it. Don't know about WA but next year in NSW it's going to become law for children to be restained in an approved seat until they're 7 and not to sit in the front until 12 (due to airbags). We're going straight to the maxi rider because we know it is one of the few approved and therefore we won't have to change when the new laws come in.

Hi, I also went the Safe n sound Maxi rider, then upgraded to the advantage booster as the old maxi rider couldn't accept a h harness!
The new one's do and are well worth the money, mines been through two of my kiddies and now been passed on to my sister and is immaculate dispite all the use.
I think they're worth the money! 6mth's (11kg??)to 26kg? can't remember the exact weights but it's around that!

Maxi rider can go from 8 kg.

I would buy a new Maxi rider for your DS and your newborn can have what you already have got......Like Cally said Maxiriders can take from 8kgs - we have two in the back of our car, and when DD#3 gets old enough, we will be buying our third maxi rider....

I will have the same age gap, and am going to hire a capsule for the first 6 mths or so and keep Izzy in her seat (Safe N Sound Premier) and then I will get the maxi rider, and use the premier for bubby. Lots of people on here recommend the maxi rider. Good luck!

Thanks everyone

It looks like the Maxi Rider is the way to go! Where can i get them from? We dont have much option for baby stuff here so i will probably have to go out of town.

Most baby shops will have them, or you can get them over the internet. I ordered ours from pram warehouse, not sure what the postage would be for you though!
