    Safe n Sound Meridian AHR Professionally fitted but two cars, what did you do???

    Hello Ladies,

    We have just laybuyed this car seat and now realise that by law car seats need to be professionally fitted, so my question is what does everyone do when bubs is in both cars almost equally?
    Did you buy two car seats?
    Thanks

    We only have 1 car but have had car seats professionally fitted (also when DS1 was turned at 14 months).

    But I do not think you must by law have it professionally fitted, many friends fit there own and swap between cars and other friends just have car seats in both cars.

    sorry not sure I really helped you.

    Have it professionally fitted in one carr (the one you will use the most), and watch and ask how they do it,so you can do it between cars. Or pick one to be the family car and only use that one when taking little one out.

    I'd just use one car as the family car... that's what we do.
    It's not like both of you is going to have the baby at the same time separately iykwim.

    I don't think you must have them fitted by law at all...it would be beyond impractical and impossible to enforce.

    Installing them is really not complicated...we did it ourselves, always have and frequently change cars.

    Limeslice is right. I have a meridan AHR safe and sound (the previous model), and it is very easy to install. I have installed it both forward and rear facing between about 4 different cars.

    Our car seats have been moved in and out of cars countless times. I could be wrong, but I think by law they have to be installed correctly, not necessarily by professionals. We had ours done professionally the first time, and now that we know how to do it we do it our selves. There is no way that they can expect them to be professionally fitted each time, people are always moving seats between cars.
