Thanks for sharing, glad to know that all is well.

Agreed, must replace the car seat after one accident.

For those who are buying pre-loved car seat, please remember to check on whether the car seat is accident free. Also every car seat has an expiry date, if I'm not mistaken it's five years from the manufacturing date. The parts which made of plastic might not lasts after expiry date.

Thanks a lot, I just purchased Graco Comfort Sport as my spare car seat. Generally all worked well, except that the rear facing is quite upright. My 6 months old LO seems to be more comfortable with the earlier car seat, Halford Solaris (a gift from relative). Unfortunately it has no isofix and my DH hates to install the car seat ( took longer and more tedious). He loves his car, therefore will take out the car seats from the car each time after using them. So an isofix car seat will be most convenient.

As per Hanishoney's advice, go for the car seats with ECE sticker at the back. A salesperson can bend both sides of Sweet Cherry car seat (not the above model) and showed the importance of ECE certification. Imagine when accident happens, what will happened to the car seat, not to mention the baby in it?

Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know there are more options for isofix car seats. How is the rear facing position for your baby? Is it upright or slight recline?

Dont worry, Graco is not our first isofix car seat. We have no issue on the installation of the car seat as we have a Recaro Proride (which is an Isofix car seat) for our first child. We are very happy with Recaro Proride, therefore order it again for our second baby. unfortunately it is out of stock and we have to wait for 2-3 months for it. Meanwhile we use a Halford Solaris while waiting for Recaro Proride. Too bad, my husband hates the installation of the car seat, hence we purchased the Graco.

We are driving a Golf GTI and have been using a car seat mat which has ECE R44 sticker on. My DH is very particular with his car, the car seats and safety, most of all. We tried using a roll up towel, it didn't make much difference. So we stick back to using a car seat mat. Graco is installed in a rear facing behind the passenger seat while Recaro Proride is front facing behind the driver seat.

We notice that Halford comes with additional seat padding, which Graco don't have, that's why my LO is more comfortable in Halford. Then we tried her in Recaro Proride, she is happy in it too. FYI, my LO is average in size and the Graco doesn't seem to be too big on her. In fact, Recaro is more spacious than Graco.

Like I have said, Graco is our spare car seat, everything is ok except the recline position is too upright for her. So we manage to persuade her older brother to give up his Recaro and use the Graco in front facing position while she seats in the Recaro.
