Anyone use this car seat before? Where is this MYDEAR brand comes from? Is it OEM from china?

Child is 1 yr old now, but wanted to get the car seat suitable from newborn-few years old, for future's baby.

Car is b-segment sedan cars (vios / city).

Have you tried fitting 2 of these narrower car seats and an adult into the back row of your car? I'm expecting a 2nd child soon and so am thinking about doing this and am wondering about whether this is possible to avoid going the 3 row SUV/MPV route. My household will have 3 adults and 2 kids. I'm thinking of getting a Camry/Accord size car if I can get away with it but I am worried about not being able to get a smallish adult comfortably into the back row without squishing the two car seats right up against the car door (which I understand is a no-no safety wise) to make space for an adult. It would be great if someone who has tried this before share their experience!   :confused: 

Thanks for the feedback! That's good to know. I think I'll go for the Diono Radian 3R then. How has your experience been with the models that you are using?

I see. Thanks again for being so helpful!    I will pay attention to that when shopping for a vehicle. I have used a different car seat with an old proton before so I've used lock clips - yes, I agree that they are a pain to install. Had to rely on youtube videos to figure that out.

Did you need to use the Diono car seat angle adjuster to get the car seat to fit into your car in rear facing mode? I saw some reviews suggesting to use that for smaller cars that don't have enough legroom to accommodate the car seat as it is quite long.

I'm currently overseas so I plan to buy the seats here and bring them back to Malaysia.

If you are driving a RM400k car, just pick the most expensive one. Anything less, just go to mudah and search for the cheapest baby seat. This is the lesson I learned after give away my baby chairs total worth more than RM7k.

We just bought the wrong car seat in recent Baby Expo. At first we set our eyes on Evenflo but somehow were told the warranty is for 1 year only. Then we went to another booth, warranty for 3 years. Then we came across Picardo. We were told they're giving 5 years warranty and the model we looked at can be use either with Isofix or just seat belt. We told them very specifically that our cars are non isofix.

This is our first time buying car seat and despite reading a lot about car seat. We made a mistake. It was hectic day, raining hard and I was week 26 and tired so probably clouded my judgement. I am usually careful when purchasing stuffs.

Yesterday, we took out the car seat. Manual is inside the packaging and voila, it says the model is supposed to use with Isofix+seat belt TOGETHER. Not either!!

We are simply at loss now, what to do with the car seat. There's no latches to fix the seat belt below, just the upper side. No hole for the seat belt to go through. Buy a new one? Or demand a refund because they lied to us?

First, we went to the booth specifically looking for car seat for non-isofix, to be install using seat belt only.
We were introduced this model, as they told us this can be used EITHER with isofix or seat belt. So if we in future change car, we can install it in isofix way. (Which we have plan to change car sometime next year, but of course we told the salesperson, we want non-isofix model. We did not confuse him and did not tell him we have plan to change car).

This is not the first booth we visited that has model for use on both either isofix or seat belt, so we did not doubt it. We know we can only use the swivel function if install in isofix way, we were planning to just install it as-is using seat belt, not going to to turn front and back all the time. There are clips at the back of the seat for latching seat belt but it does not seem to make it with our car's belt length.

Now my concern is according to manual (inside the packaging), this model should be use with Isofix + tether belt for newborn rear facing.
I don't know what to think but I will contact their office for demonstration since they insist, it can be install rear facing just using seat belt too.
