Is it just me, or do other mums find choosing a car seat weighs heavy on their conscience? And what’s your opinion of previous car seat winners? (see bottom of post)
Hands up if you have an isofix point in your car?
This will amaze you: Out of 4,015 mums who applied to be a Mother & Baby awards tester this year, how many…? Go on. Have a guess? Or perhaps everybody knows this?
Perhaps, I should explain why my jaw dropped at the answer. Four, maybe five years ago, isofix car seats were entered into the Mother & Baby Awards for the first time. I remember I found it nigh on impossible to find enough mums who had isofix points in their car and I was quite ready to thrown my hands up and declare that it would be impossible to do a proper test. If I found one mum, none of her friends has isofix, so everybody would have to examine the isofix car seat in the one and only car it would fit. “How’s this going to catch on?” I remember thinking, “and what good if an isofix car seat wins and most people can’t use it?”
