ok, i had a similar post about hipod vs safe n sound. anyway i decided to go with safe n sound cause apart from the better reputation they were on sale at babies galore! i put the maxi rider AHR on layby for DD1 and the meridian convertable car seat on layby for DD2. now that i am thinking about it though i am wondering if i should get a maxi rider for DD2 as well. you can use them from 8kg to 26kg. DD2 is currently almost 4 months old and just over 6kg. i think on average they get to 8kg about 6months old.. so by the time my layby is up she will be almost 8kg anyway. however, is the maxi rider just as safe for the smaller age range or is the convertable car seat safer? would you put your 6 month old in a Maxi rider AHR?
I have both. Maxi Rider for DD1 Meridian for DD2. DD2 is 14 months and I wouldn't put her in maxi rider yet. Even though she's 12kg, she just seems to be too young for that seat?? In 6-9 months I will be buying a maxi rider for her though.
yeah DD1 is in a safe n sound royale i think, its over 3 years old and the belt is getting hard to pull to tighten, and it is beginning to fray a small bit on the bit that you pull to tighten so i am thinking i will just get rid of it and get them both new ones. DD2 is in a hired safe n sound capsule atm. thanks for your advise.. i was kinda thinking that would be the case. though it does say you can use it from 8kg so just wanted to hear others opinions.
'technically', yes you can use it from 8kg, but like I was saying before, it just doesn't look right. I have put Emily in it just for a test (didn't drive anywhere though) and she's a solid baby and she looks like a newborn in it But it is a fantastic seat for toddlers.
maxi rider or meridian?
