car seat question - help from moms

By Withnail

hi,

i am looking for a car seat (9kg-18kg) for my 11 month old daughter.

baby shop has a maxi cosi for about 900 QAR and chicco has one for about 1000 QAR.

i am assuming both are good, but i would like to be sure. any opinions out there?

thanks.

Back in the UK Maxi-Cosi is considered the best in terms of safety, but the Chicco one will also have passed all the necessary safety standards.

If you can get someone to bring one over from the UK it will be much cheaper. We got our maxi-cosi last month for £90, which is about QR500. You can check it in at the airport for free (even if you don't have a baby).

In fact, a member of staff in the Landmark Mothercare told us it was still much cheaper to order from UK Mothercare and pay for delivery to Qatar, and several people had done that.

After Gypsy's post I don't think you will find much first hand experience here!

I was researching and asking around the best car seat and stroller brands, and most recommended maxi cosi as #1 brand.

if you buy it from baby shop and you have the center point card you will get around QR100 back in coupons.
