I finally had time to check out the Combi Malgott carseat manual. One thing I'd like to point out is that it rear-faces only to 10kg. Since rear-facing is FIVE TIMES safer than forward facing, I suggest that when your baby gets close to 10kg, go shopping for at least an infant seat that rearfaces to 13kg, so you can rear-face just a little longer.

There are carseats that rear-face to 13kg that are as cheap as RM119, so surely that price is worth the extra FIVE TIMES protection you can give your baby for an extra 3kg? My baby slowed down in growth a lot after he turned 6mo. He's been 9kg for 3 whole months, so assuming that he only grows 1kg every 3 months after 10kg, that's another 9 months that he can rear-face! For such a low price. And yes, when your baby is not yet 2yo, cheapo RM119 rear-facing carseat is still FIVE TIMES safer than fancy-shmancy RM1.5k front facing carseat. But do make sure that baby's head still shorter than the top of the infant carseat/carriers. Some infant carriers claim can rear-face to 13kg, but the back is too short and baby cannot fit anymore by height long before they reach 13kg.

thanks!.. i just became a father of my newly born baby boy.. so i think i better start looking for one now

anyone here using Joei Stedi, Maxi Cosi Pria, or Koopers Jive or know anything about these car seats?..

those are within my budget.. pls share ur opinion.. tq

ya since i'm driving a old gen myvi and not going to change to a new car sooner, i'm considering the non isofix ones

by portable, do u mean it can be used as a carrier?.. if it is, doesnt matter to me..

the longer it can be used, the better.. mostly i see online, usually up to 4 years.. its considered okay to me..

what brand u are using?..
