It is hard to believe that this time 12 years ago we were waiting on the birth of Maxi and we researching what to buy for our first born child. Maxi was a much longed for child, who we never really believed would really come, so we left buying everything till last minute. We wanted to make sure that our perfect first born had the best of everything, so we made sure that we subscribed to Which? magazine.
You always want the best you can afford for your children and it is often tempting to buy the most expensive item, however, we learned from Which that the most expensive isn’t always the best product to purchase.
I remember spending night after night researching everything from the best car seat to the recommended cot bed on Which. It was the whole reason we subscribed.
The Best Car Seat to Buy
At the time we found Which invaluable. There was and still is so much conflicting information about what is the best car seat for your car that we didn’t know where to turn. There was a mine of information and rather than try and work it all out ourselves Which? really helped up make informed decisions as not only did we find out the best buy, but also the car seats to avoid at all costs.
We felt safe knowing that Which are a leading voice in child car seat safety and that they are independent by purchasing all the car seats they crash test.
We used Which to decide on every single car seat we have purchased for the boys, from the first Stage 0, up to the Stage 3 boosters that we only removed from our car last year.
But Which? is for more than car seats, we used it to help choose Maxi’s pram too!
As a parent Which magazine is invaluable from helping you to work out how to avoid fake products to making sure you get the car seat that will withstand a crash the best. In addition to the wonderful trustworthy reviews, there are also some great guides such as travelling with children and information on maternity leave.
