Thankyou all ladies!

I am actually more concerned by Safe'n'Sounds attitude, than the general safety issue as all have to meet the same standard anyways but I do appreciate reading your thoughts on their seats and in particular Trish, your experience with SNS customer service too, food for thought!

I must say I am leaning towards the Turn a Tot, my brother has one of these, and it seems good

Also appreciate comments on professional fitting, I ruled that out thinking the cost would be exhorbitant, but what you girls said $35, $15, it doesn't seem too much after all! Might have to look into it further - with a better carseat but!

I looked at the seat that we haven't installed yet, and it's a Fisher-Price Sapphire, tried googling it, and get nothing, and Fisher-Price don't have ANY car seats on their website, so I'm gathering it's a/ OLD and b/they don't make them anymore, perhaps for a good reason? Correct me if I'm making wrong assumptions there...
If the carseat is too old/non-compliant the person/company fitting the car seat will refuse. This happened to my mum who got given a car seat & it did not comply with the safety standards so she had to buy another one.

FWIW - I have a baby love & SnS - both are great.
