We don't have a car, but did get a travel system with car seat which has been used occasionally. Unfortunately our very large 6 month old has just about outgrown it and I am hoping for some recommendations for a car seat that will mostly used by grandparents (who live some distance from me). I am in the UK, obviously want something very safe, but adaptable without spending too much money and will last for a while without needing replacing too soon. I am usually quite clued up about baby equipment, but not being a driver, don't have a clue about car seats- happy to purchase online or in store. Thanks!!

If their car has ISOFIX, which most modern cars do, get a JANE indy car seat.
It can be fitted or removed in seconds, will last till your child is around 11 or 12, and looks cool.
cost around £100. a good investment.

I'm not a driver myself, but am a mummy! the best way to get a car seat is for the grandparents to take their car down to Mothercare and to try several seats for a totally secure fit! you would need a "Stage 1" seat,but explain to the staff about the age and weight of the baby. Expect to pay about £100+, but bear in mind the seat should last until baby is 4 years old. I have a Maxi Cosi Piori Isofix seat for my 2 year old.

You need a convertible carseat. Infant seats are outgrown when a child reaches the weight limit, or more commonly when the child has less than one inch of plastic shell above his head. Infants then move to a rearfacing (RF) convertible seats and MUST remain RF until at least 1 year AND 20lbs, but should remain RF until the limits of the seat (30-35lbs in the US). The Alpha Omega 3-in-1 seats only harness to 40lbs and most 40lb weight limit seats are outgrown before a child is mature enough for a booster seat. Some great higher weight limit seats that last longer than the traditional 40lb seats are: Britax Marathon, Decathalon, Boulevard; the Sunshine Kids Radian; the Evenflo Triumph ADVANCE.
