Britax Deals & Offers

This needs more heat it's a steal at this price

Seems to be (back?) in stock.

moot point now though as this appears to be sold out now - from the price it appears to be a clearance deal anyway, so not a huge surprise. Hope people who wanted them got one!

Have you ever used an ERF seat? Rotating is a waste of time, as the direction of the seat means it's much easier to put the child into the seat, even in a car park or similar with limited space to open the door. Forward facing seats need to rotate more than rear-facing ones, as the car door gets in the way so you can't stand in the right place to plonk kiddy in place. Our nearly 4-year old is just about coming up to the weight limit for this seat so will soon outgrow it. Legroom is fine - he just crosses his legs. Our nearly 6-year-old is outgrowing his Maxway too as he's close to the 25kg weight limit on that - he'll start to forward face now and his little brother will inherit his seat. Neither complain about their seats - kids are used to sitting cross-legged at school etc, and doing so in the car is a non-issue for them. But even if it was, they'd still have to put up with it as a little discomfort is worth the increased safety that ERF offers in my opinion!

It’s built in to the seat (y)

Haha, Probably just that specific angle in the attached photo. Wouldn't know what it was like in real life. I'm not weird, promise (embarrassed)

Carrycots/ Pushchair Colour Packs @ Boots from £55/£25, £2.20 Advantage points http://www.boots.com/search/affinity#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:4&pageView:&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&

Reminds me of Ridley Scott's Alien.

If anyone is looking for a black Affinity 2 carrycot (Cosmic black colour, the hardest to find and never normally discounted), I have a spare one. It fits the Affinity 1 pushchair but it's slightly bigger with a better sun canopy. Yours for £50 plus postage, or collection from Glasgow.

Were you able to get the bumper clean?

Was there anything wrong with your one? My bumper is also dirty like another buyers.

cheers for that OP. I actually bought it for £200 few days before as I needed it ASAP. When I saw your post that it dropped to £160 I bought another one and will return it when it arrives as the £200 one I purchased earlier as I still have few days left of "change your mind return by date". Delivered to the store so will just hand it straight back instore. *EDIT* After a quick search online it is a Affinity 1 for sure. Not much differences between those two IMO. Great Pushcahir BTW

I called them on the weekend asking if it was possible to the first version or second. They were not sure and said that they will check with the warehouse and get back to me.... Still waiting. Not the greatest customer service.

Hi, thought I'd copy you on this as well; I found the link to some research I had done. It's a comprehensive look at child safety and the factors that should be considered but sometimes are not. GRab a cup of tea, but it's worth a read and digest... hth https://www.folksam.se/media/Rapport_Bilbarnstolar_2016_Eng_K3_tcm5-33085.pdf

I found one of the links I had used for my own research the other day.... Thought I'd share. hth. https://www.folksam.se/media/Rapport_Bilbarnstolar_2016_Eng_K3_tcm5-33085.pdf

In an ideal world I guess I would say yes, replace your exist seat, but of course it depends on whether or not you can afford to just go out and buy a new seat. If your child is still under 3, and there are younger siblings (or potential younger siblings!) who it could be handed down to then it’s worth considering. I know a lot of people who are passionate about rear facing seats now who had their babies in forward facing seats before their first birthday but who turned them back round to rear face when they were two or three with no problems at all. You can buy a mirror to attach to the back seat headrest so that your child can see you, and for most children sitting rear facing is no big deal at all. Although I would love to see every child under 4 in the uk in a rear facing car seat it’s important to say that forward facing in a correctly fitted decent seat like the Evolva isn’t dangerous as such, it’s just that rear facing is so much safer. The child must be secured in the seat correctly too though, when forward facing the harness straps should be set level with your child’s shoulders or very slightly above them. They shouldn’t ever dip down below your child’s shoulders in a forward facing seat. And of course you’ve got to stick to the weight limit of the seat too - a lot of parents think they can keep using the harness on this type of multi-stage Group 1-2-3 seat for as long as their child fits in it, without realising that when their child weighs 18kg they must remove the harness and use the seat as a high backed booster with the seatbelt fastening the child into the seat.

The Britax will obviously provide enhanced protection in the case of a crash, and these long lasting rear facing seats can be expensive, so it's for you to weigh up your options. My way of looking at it though, is if a seat costs £300 but lasts until they are 5 or 6, then that's about a fiver a month for the best protection you can offer.

Another thing to consider is that you cant use the 5 point harness on kids >18kg, where as other car seats such as the Joie Bold allow the 5 point harness up to 25kg. I agree with the other poster though, rear facing is better, if you have an obedient child that will actually sit rear facing :D

I had these for a while. Nice narrow seat which meant I could get 2 of these and a baby seat across the back. My only complaint was the quality/thickness of the padding for a long drive. I have a maxi cosi rodi Now and the kids complain less (lol) (lol)

I would consider the XP range it’s a little more expensive tho, what put me off was it’s just material that attaches the clips to isofix didn’t seem as sturdy. If you can catch this deal on points specials it’s the best way to buy. I got my XP for £126 plus £30 worth of points

how many crashes have you had in a week?! I will just add on a serious note that this scores poorly in the Front Impact tests conducted by Which(2/5). It scores average(3/5) for Side Impact tests.

Bought two of these last week, really impressed so far

This is an excellent seat (really easy to fit and remove, and fares well in safety tests), and a good price. Nice post OP.

This one is cheaper and extra 5% off this weekend £66

Nice find and good first deal @BizzBozz - thanks for sharing! And welcome to HUKD :)

Great price I bought 2 for my twins for £100 each (horror)

Good value, have had one for a year for occassional use.

Good price.I bought mine for over a hundred (skeptical)

bit on the heavy side weight wise but feels well built. Compatible with Britax car seat a bonus as they perform very well in the crash tests. Most likely compatible with their carrycots too as the adapters for the car seat and carrycot are the same. Heat added

My mistake, they don’t have to be rear facing in older non I-size seats (which this is and where child is “measured” by weight). With newer I-size seats (which classify the child by height instead) they have to be kept rear facing until >15months (yet another way of classifying them!!). In any case we’re keeping our toddler rear facing for stage 1.

Pretty certain children have to be rear facing to 15 months now and if you have the option I’d suggest looking into rear facing for much longer. The evidence for rear facing as the safer option is pretty compelling.

good price! have some heat op!

Thank I didn’t really know they did so many versions after looking and reading a lot I went for XP SICT more expensive but with the added points bonus this weekend was worth waiting

I bought 2 of the non SICT version of these last month using the code- worked out about £72 each I think. They are great seats and easy to fit

op the picture is wrong in your post... thats the XP version the boots one is the non XP (basically doesnt have the pad that sits on the kids shoulder)

Join the parenting club then you get 10 points for every pound...

Expired oos

You need to change the colour to get that price.

strange was def there half an hour ago

No such price on their website, was this in-store?

Would have been a great deal!

Can you still see this live on their website as it's vanished for me so hence I expired it. Will happily unexpired if still the case, bargain!

Just literally bought one so this needs to be unexpired. Thanks for posting as I have been specifically looking for a deal on this seat for a couple of months :)

Didn't come off at checkout for me but a great deal for this seat all the same!

It comes off when you pay dont need a code

what code did you use for this? just about to order myself! thanks in advance

Andreah - I am am not sure. Could be their clearance stock. I picked up purple and was informed I was lucky as they only had one purple left though they had black on display.

Is this deal just in the charlton store?

Having said all that, a rear facing seat will provide your toddler with way more protection for their head and neck than this seat ever would. I did have an Evolva 1-2-3 seat for my older two children, it was a great seat at the time but once I researched rear facing seats I couldn’t bring myself to re-use it for our third child.

The “SL” refers to Soft Latch, which is isofix connectors on a length of strap (rather than being rigid). The “SICT” refers to Side Impact Cushion Technology (which is that round thing on the side of the seat) From the Britax website; “Advanced features and flexibility The EVOLVA range has been popular with parents for over 10 years. The latest addition, the EVOLVA 1-2-3 SL SICT offers advanced safety performance and a premium look. Our improved Side Impact Cushion Technology (SICT) minimises the force of an impact in a side collision, and the Soft-Latch ISOFIX installation connects the seat direct to the car.”

Side Impact Cushion Technology

The only difference I know of is that there is an audible click when the harness is tightened to the point you can only insert two fingers between the child and the harness. Kind of a gimmick as it's on the infant seat this training should be done. Anyone has been tightening to the two finger measure for 12 months prior to moving on to this seat.

Not the same one. This one is the plus model which has better quality fixings eg some are metal instead of plastic. Can't remember the other differences. We have the evolva 123 & also the Evolva 123 plus model in our car. They both do the job to be fair.

This deal is for the ‘Plus’ version, which is £110 at Mothercare https://www.mothercare.com/highback-boosters-with-harness-group-1-2-3/britax-evolva-123-plus-highback-booster-car-seat/LR3982.html?dwvar_LR3982_color=Storm%20Grey&cgid=#q=Evolva&start=5 The £72.50 seat is a different version.

£72.50 at Mothercare too.

We got this seat a few months back for £80 from Smyths

I agree 100% (y) .

​ XD It's a parents job to know about them. Parents can buy any seat they wish. I just think it's important that whatever decision that is made is an informed one so I keep myself up to date as I would expect to change a car seat every few years myself as the safety technology evolves so I choose to stay informed rather than just doing the research when seats are being out grown. It's just my personal perspective it ensures some peace of mind.

good price, the seat is very hard, we only use it in town for short journeys

This seat is a pain to put in the car. I would only recommend it if you're keeping it in the one car.

Can I ask what do you do for a living? You know soo much about Car seats?

Great deal! thank!
