Many N's - I think you will find that if you are carrying two children in the back of a car, then a third child can still sit in the front of the car, providing he/she is is using a legal type of seat/retraint. |

Maz it came in yesterday, but they will give you a few days grace!!!. I bought mine at H**f***s, they were dark blue with washable cushion (blue or pink) £9.99 each. A***s have them too, but they were out of stock. Child must be 4.ft 5in I think to go without. Sunny R |

glad I dont have that problem. Bad enough with my mum and seat belts. I sat behind her all last week in my brothers people carrier and she kept complaining that the set belt went tight and was strangling her. Most of the time she undone it and just held onto it. When she uses a taxi at home which is nearly everytime she goes out she never outs one on cos she just has so much trouble with them. My dad was a driver and she keeps saying that she never had to wear one when she went anywhere with him. The law is the law mum..... |

My five yr old is extremely tall for his age so I used to put in the front with me - saves the fighting/distractions from the back with his 2yr old sister. Now I have to put him on a booster in the back squashed between his sisters, both in car seats. There simply isn't enough room! What this law also doesn't take into account is how many accidents are caused by stressed mothers trying to keep the peace in the back of the car whilst driving. |

keep meaning to measure Jamie - don't think he is quite tall enough grrrrrrrr I wonder how many people will actually comply?? Judging by the amount of people who don't even belt their kids in now - I get so mad seeing them standing up in the back of cars. do you know when it comes in please?! Jamie would be horrified at the thought of a pink seat! your grandson sounds lovely! Maz. XX |

Went shopping yesterday for a booster seat for my grandson, for my car and daughter's car. They had blue or pink removable cloth seats, told James we want two blue,look down the pile of seats (thinking HE won't want pink) . I told him I was glad there were 2 blue ones left, to which he replied 'Oh yes Nanny, pink doesn't go with your car, or Mummy's'. Sunny R |
