Hi, I want to buy car seat for my baby. I no idea yet which brand to buy. My budget 700 only & can fit in myvi.

1) What car are u driving? Myvi
2) U planning to use seat belts or isofix/latch? No idea . Dont think my car have it.
3) Are u planning to have more than 1 child car seat at the car rear seats? Yes , with in 1-3 years .
4) What are you priorities in sequence?
(Eg. All-in-1 type, budget, safe, convenience, light weight, narrow width, etc)
- All-in-1 type, not too big for myvi, price(700+/-)

Thank you

Your budget of Rm700 for all in one car seat is abit low. Why not u increase your budget for your child car seat since u already can afford GB pockit plus?

Safety: child car seat > stroller
Tats y I rather spent more money on a good child car seat than a stroller coz too many idiots on the road these days.

Joiee gem combo is an infant child car seat which only can last for a few months to 1 year. Do check out promotion for Chicco Nextfit child car seat in Chicco Malaysia facebook. I think last time was selling around Rm900+. My sister-in-law bought the Chicco Nextfit Zip version for Rm1100 during their warehouse sales this year.

I understand the convenience of GB pockit plus coz i also own one too. Nowadays, i just fold the stroller and walk into the restaurants. I dont need to worry whether will my stroller get stolen or not.
Chicco Next2fit can only use till your kid is up to 65lbs. Therefore it is only a convertible child car seat, not an All-in-1. I recommend this model due to your budget.

Sorry, i am unable to feedback Sweet Cherry coz i dont have one and very few online review about this brand coz is a local brand. They also didnt mention how long is the lifespan of this child car seat.

There are a few golden rules in child car seats:
1) Keep your child rear facing as long as possible coz rear facing is 5x times safer than forward facing. Therefore buying a higher max weight limit child car seat for rear facing is safer.

2) Every child car seat have a lifespan. Therefore manufacturers have to indicate the manufacturing date on every car seat so u can know when your child car seat will expire. This is becoz manufacturers have tested their product to ensure it can work properly even after several years of usage. All-in-one car seat have the highest lifespan which is usually 10 years. Thats why it is not wise to buy 2nd hand child car seats.

3) Child car seat cannot be used if it is involved in a car accident even it is a minor one or there is no sign of damage on the child car seat. This is becoz the child car seat cannot work properly if there are some damage on the child car seat. Thats why there is a risk buying All-in-one child car seats. In US, they can purchase child car seat insurance. Therefore it is also not recommended to purchase 2nd hand child car seats. Is it worth risking the child's life?

Most Malaysians dont bother about these rules. Their mentality is it is considered good enough that i even let my kid sit on a child car seat. So many irresponsible parents rather spend on other stuff then child car seats. Some even let the kid sit in the passenger seat even though there is an airbag in the passenger seat. I seen many cases the parents or even the sales person dont even know how to properly secure the child car seat. It is like wearing a helmet without securing the latch when riding a bike.
