Which car seat for holiday traveling? Graco v M'Care v Sit n Stroll
What do people do for carseats when they travel around on holiday with a toddler (over 9kg and 2yrs+)?
We're thinking of taking a holiday where we'll be out and about, sometimes using a rental car and sometimes hopping into taxis (which means we'll have to carry the car seat around with us in the streets/shops).
We use Maxi Cosi car seats for our LO in our cars in Dubai, and we're very happy with them, but we don't want to take these with us in case they get damaged in transit - plus they are really heavy!
So I've been looking around for combination carseats (highback harness boosters for children over 9kg) and I've narrowed it down to two:
1) Graco Nautilus - really comfy and safe, but very heavy at 12kg, so not sure how it will work lugging this around with us.
2) Mothercare Advance seat - really lightweight and I can imagine it will be easy to carry around, but I'm worried that it won't be as safe because it is so lightweight it looks like it might crumple in an accident (it felt around 2-3kg). But it's Mothercare, so I'm assuming it should be safe even if it doesn't look or feel as safe as the Graco. Right???
3)Sit n Stroll - have seen them around, not sure about their safety record and not sure where to buy one.
Are there any other car seats I should be looking for? What's a good lightweight Britax? What do other people do for a good lightweight carseat that they have to lug around? HELP!
