looking for a Maxi-cosi loan please

Me neither SueDonim

I'd never risk putting a baby into a used car seat unless you can guarantee it's provenance.

If your Dd is bringing a baby surely she'll need to bring a baby seat as well? That's what my son has always done.

Try Freegle.

You might be better off googling Nursery equipment hire businesses in your area. Much better to pay for a professional rental than risk a dodgy second hand loan.

Can your DD not bring her seat?

Be a little wary if you choose to buy second hand. Car seats are designed to withstand one crash and after this they will never protect properly. Insurers condem the seats after a crash and pay out - but some people try to sell them to make even more cash ....

Thank goodness our DGC have grown out of them now!
I used to find it quite difficult getting the seat into the Isofix fittings in my car.

Ah, thanks Jalima!

Had to look at this as I was intrigued to know what a maxi-cosi was !! Relieved to see it isn't a large swimming costume !! Sorry I can't help but I hope you find one.

Try Gumtree for a used one. I purchased a car seat from the site, used it for a few weeks and sold it for more than I paid.

Just wondering why the one you have would not be suitable?
I don't think that Dora has one Bellanonna
Isofix is just the bit in the car which the seat fits into.

Please don't buy a second hand one - you never know if it has been in an accident.
Unless, of course, you know the seller and trust them.

I just gave ours away but I am in the north of England.
Maxi-cosi seats got such a good write up that we installed one in our car for GC, very secure and good safety record.

Do you have Gumtree? Perhaps try there too.

Try your local facebook page - ours is great for grandparent swops and shares

When I saw the heading i thought you were about to buy one and needed to borrow the money. (They are a bit pricey.). I hope you find one. Facebook is probably your best option.

Just wondering why the one you have would not be suitable?
Enjoy the visit with your family.

Dora you might have more luck on a local Facebook group (in your area) ... I live in SW London and people on the local Mums FB group are always swopping and lending stuff.

Enjoy the family visit

Foreign language Isofix? I thought it was for dentures?
My kids always brought their own car seats if that’s what it is with them on the plane
Is this something major or larger than normal or maybe plane rules have changed

I thought it was a bathing suit.

Car seat Phoenix!

How is she travelling Dora?

DD once brought one over from Australia with her. They put it through as special luggage and it went into the hold. ~She could shrink wrap it.

Sorry, but I haven't got the faintest idea of what either of those are!
