Car seat question - WWYD?

The Hi Liner one is under $200, the Hi Pod we got was around $200 too I think.
So they don't have to cost the earth, and lay by is your friend
Also, make sure you look second hand from other mums you know, or kinder friends etc.

yeh we got the hi pod brand that has the headrest that goes taller as it was dramatically cheaper and allowed for taller children and thus they were able to stay in the same seat until they are older. my understanding is that the built in clip on all models (maxi rider or hipod or ??) goes until 18kg and then you needed a harness (whether it be straight H or the one that is about $10 more and splits to go through the shoulder slots in the seat) or normal seatbelt after that anyway. I used the harness initially but have changed it now to just a booster with seatbelt for my oldest cause hes taller hipod are also slightly narrower than the maxi rider.

I scored a 5 point harness seat, called Skylar by Infa secure for $150. It was perfect & was good til he was 7, but they recalled it 2 weeks later!!

So I returned that one & went looking for another one, but all the others were $250 - $300 minimum, which is why I got the Hi Pod.

Maybe check out Big W/Infa Secure incase they improved that one, or brought out another one similar for around the same price
