Car Accessories Deals & Offers

I went for the Joie I-anchor advance as I got a glitch deal on it and the isofix base from John Lewis in May. Been sat in the boxes since then. Was meant to be £199 but came through at £54.99 https://www.johnlewis.com/joie-i-anchor-advance-group-0-1-car-seat-black/p2663723?searchTerm=Anchor+advance

Out of interest which next stage seat are you going for?

Tbh it's to do with the straps. They just dig in to her and never look comfortable. We've changed the padding and still not great. One strap is always longer than the other too

heat added did well in the crash tests. You can get a base if you want one. Only compatible with silver cross pushchairs and unless you find one on offer they tend to be expensive.

Can depend on the car itself. Some rear seats are more sloped than others making it more upright.

Was just about to have a look at it online and remembered you can't now. Why did Tesco ever take down the Tesco Direct website?? Made things so complicated. Surely this is a step backwards against all the other competition? Heat added none the less.

I saw 2 of these same seats down from £65 to £30 in Tesco Hermiston Gait Edinburgh. Great find!

You'd think the car seat would come with the Silvercoss push chairs anyway with the price they're at!

Lot of bold statements and generalisations going on in the comments. I purchased the Pioneer with the seat and adapter for £1100 and as others have said it had eff all to do with showing off or bettering other people. When doing research which was an absolute nightmare these silver cross prams kept coming up in well reviewed lists.

Cool story.

Very also offer a 20% discount on the Pram systems via the new customer promo

Quite a bold (& totally untrue) statement. My first born had a £300 pram which was OK & my latest has the £1300 Wave which is far superior in every way. Both do the same job, but the Silver Cross Pram has a much higher build quality & feel. I needed 2 car seats & 2 isofix bases though, those should have been around £500, but purchased for £120 via eBay. New covers were £30 each from Mothercare & they are like new for a fraction of the cost. Not everyone buys quality items to "show off", some people just appreciate better quality & feel (leather padded handles, upgraded trims etc). If anyone is thinking ahead by the way & may have another baby in the coming couple of years, look at the Wave instead of this one. You can put both the flat & inclined seats on the same frame as a double pram, so you don't need to buy twice !!

It scored 64% on Which?, so I wouldn't go for it even though it's cheap :/

I'm fortunate enough to know someone with John Lewis discount so I can get it for £165, £150 would've been ideal though lol. Its a shame JL don't do the red x

i had two same seats, returned both back to the store just after a year of use. as previous poster said - babys head goes forward whole time when asleep. definitely not good for long travel. didn't matter if front or rear facing. may seem cheap but you will soon want to get rid of it.

£198 @ Boots https://www.boots.com/joie-spin-360-car-seat-two-tone-black-10221193 792 Boots Advantage Card points at the moment, I'm waiting for bonus points

I have this seat, good price. Isize compliant. Easy to swap to forward facing when appropriate. Clips and straps are a little fiddly, and there is limited adjustment to the base where it rests against the back of the rear seat, which could impact how secure the base is if your car seats aren't standard or adjustable, also means you may need to swap to forward facing earlier than ideal if you have a tall child as you cannot increase the leg room. However this is still a fantastic price for an isize seat and I'm happy with mine.

shame i already brought one for my brother new baby.

Normally I’d advise people to stay away from these cheap generic seats which are made in China and sold with many different covers under different brand names, but this is the one seat of that type that’s actually ok! When tested independently by the German ADAC organisation it got the same scores as the Maxi Cosi Pebble. It’s also available as the Nania BeOne seat and from Kiddicare with various different floral and character covers on. Just look for the hood of the seat with the gap so that you can get your hand round the carry handle and you can tell it’s the same seat.

We had this it was brilliant and lightweight

Recommended if you're 7 months pregnant then.

Same on Amazon, fulfilled by Mothercare but says 1-2 month dispatch :/

Thanks

So long as you’re gentle with me :{

Good price!

There are some available but it’s mainly the colours e.g Blue. Was looking for a more neutral colour similar to this

Check you don't have the old model....the one that flies off it's base in a crash If you do, they will give you a full refund for it if you give them a call. We did that, and avoided their offer for an upgraded seat, with something so important I'd lost trust. We've since bought a couple of BeSafe izi plus seats - they cost an arm and a leg, but we're really pleased with them. They can be used rear facing up to 25kg (estimated at 5 years old)

Yes, it should come assembled as one. Not a bad price, I needed a 360 seat for the little one and was looking at this one, the cybex sirona s i-size and the britax dualfix i-size. From all three, the britax was by far the strongest build, but the price was quite high. So went for the cybex, which I thought is better built and reclines more than the Joie.

Does it come with the IsoFix base pictured? Ta

Nuna Rebl all the way!!! But at this price this one is a great buy!

I have this seat but it surprised me somewhat when I look into the other cars in the nursery and very few have ERF seats

They did have a 10% discount yesterday on halfords car seats but its now not applicable (damn) so I may wait for a slightly better deal on a more expensive one. I recommend anyone try the Honey built in app for chrome, you click it and it automatically applies all possibe discount codes to see which is the best! good spot though, heat added! (highfive)

Heat!!! Thankyou

This is not a particularly good car seat. It's comparable to the Halfords Essentials seat. It's a pig to install and you need a really long seat belt (Ford owners need to look for alternatives). It also doesn't sit comfortably and it will move a bit. Not dangerously, but will worry some people. It's this price for a reason.

Sorry, I assumed you were being serious - there's usually some hippie ready to tell you how they get around in a cardboard box powered by potato peelings and don't need to vaccinate their kids because they don't allow them to stray more than 3ft away from the back door (as well as the fact that the "common" viruses aren't intelligent enough to infect them or their little darlings).

Thank you for your reasonable reply to my massively facetious post

Not really the same though is it, being able to buy a forward or rear facing seat is a realistic tangible choice (probably one without too much of a cost implication), whereas for the majority I'd assume it's not an option for their child to avoid travelling by road at some point before the age of 2/3. Like everything else, it's one of those topics where people will try to guilt or judge others (along with breast feeding or not, using dummies, methods of potty training, whether or not to use the "perfect prep" machine and a million other things). As far as I'm aware, however, rear facing is statistically considered safer therefore it's understandable that (if fortunate enough to be able to afford whatever seat you desire) you might be inclined to pay more for a statistically safer seat, who knows though, if your child is forward facing and your vehicle is hit at speed from the rear, the outcome might be better than if the child was rear facing.

You could try never taking them out in a car - a lot safer!

Yep, should definitely try in car before buying.

It won't trigger quick charge, but it will still charge 5v at 2a, which is very very decent anyway. The difference may not be that much more in real life use cases.

Would this fast charge a galaxy Note 8?

You get the superior fast charge though

Problem is this isn’t £5

For the last year or so I've started buying Choetech instead of Anker and found the quality to be even better and cheaper. I have the following for my Pixel 2: CHOETECH USB Type C Car Charger with Power Delivery And it works fantastically and has QC 3 so does fast charge (adaptive fast charge, ie QC 2 for Samsung phones) as well as PD for USB type C connections

Thanks for the heads up a. Due to a millennial BMW driver taking a liking to the back of my car, we need to replace ours & I was just going to buy the same again. Might look at Cybex now instead

Not for much longer https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/07/recaro-child-safety-closes-car-seats-and-pushchairs-business/

No there still about, Everyone still sells them

Thought Recaro stopped their cat seat business, so not sure about the warranty

Cybex, they are slightly smaller in size which helps. They ain’t as bulky

I don't think my 3 year old would want to face backwards....

Must admit I'd missed that. I'm not sure you'd get an 11 year old happily facing rearwards XD

But now everyone who reads this thread knows... Ta :)

Clicking the link and looking at the first bullet point would have been quicker than writing a comment. Group II / III car seat suitable 15-36 kg (approx. 3-12 years)

Indeed ~45cm. Even so 3 across of the back of an S-Max are still touching.

It isnt/wasn’t worth £125, and I’d rather stick with a name I trust, which is Britax. And the Romer can be bought for not much more. It also states “designed to protect your newborn”, but only suitable from 9 months onwards. And I thought that babies have to be rearward facing until 15 months now?

Anyone know if this is any good

I should add that the base it is about 2" thick, so if you are stupidly tall like me, and already scraping the roof lining........... Worst delivery driving experience of my life, driving a 2.5L V6 Vauxhall Calibra across North Wales in winter; the clutch and gearbox felt like they had come out of a 1940's tractor, and the roof was so low, I had to drive with my head stick part-way through the sunroof. The frosting has remained to this day. Stupid thing with the Calibra the 2.0 V4 gearbox and clutch were perfect.

It is "OK", I wouldnt rave about it. I found it a bit uncomfortable on really long journeys, so I swapped it out for Olga, an illegal from Belarus. Olga also makes a pretty decent Borscht, and is a whiz with the iron.

Wouldn't this send you into dreamland while you are cruising along the motorway (or sitting in a traffic jam at the eurotunnel)? (skeptical)

Is this just in store? I can't find it online.

Couldn’t you just get the misses to sit behind you ?

Zapals are good, used em before no issues

Ordered, worth a go for 63p. Thanks

THANKS £0.63 FOR ME :D

Buy cheap you pay twice, especially with power transformers. Be warned.

Switched power supplies and a lack of electromagnetic shielding is the issue. It's radiating emissions in broadcast bands. Throw it away!

Me too. Total ripoff at £3

bought this from poundland

Unless you are in a HGV, 12 VOLTS for the sockets and 5 VOLTS for USB. I think you might be talking about the total current.

poundland have these for £1

I'm sure I got this from b&m for the same price if not less. I use it to power phone charger as well as dash cam
