Hi Glitzy, We've tried sourcing rear facing seats in Dubai but they don't stock them anywhere except Just Kidding. Just Kidding only stock the Maxi Cosi Mobi, which is an excellent seat, but I was advised that it is huge and would mean the front passenger seat would be so far forward it could not be used. It's also out of stock just now. The two options we have are the ones in the subject line. The Two Way Elite can be used front or rear facing and is an excellent seat. To get it delivered to here it would cost 320 Euros from CarSeat.se or if you are going back to the UK over Xmas, 200 pounds from InCarSafety in the UK (but you have to bring it back on the plane). The Hi-Way 2 is a newer seat that is slightly more compact and portable than the Two Way Elite, but it is rear facing only up to 25kg (approx 4 or 4.5 years old). The Hi-Way 2 recently passed the most stringent car seat test in the world in Sweden (one of only a few car seats to have achieved this). It comes in at 350 Euros delivered or 200 pounds if brought back from the UK. Whatever you do make sure you contact CarSeats.se and InCarSafety to check your chosen seat fits your car, as all of the rear facing seats are good, the choice is down to what fits. Also, the final piece of advice I got was to keep your bambino in their infant seat right up to the maximum weight limit (in our case 13kg, which could potentially mean well past 12 months). Parents often (as I might have done) move children from a seat when their legs are hanging over the bottom but I'm told that if it's down to height issues it's when their head starts to get too close to the top of the back of the seat, not legs hanging out.

Hi all, I've been researching the next car seat for my 11 month old son and have discovered, by chance, that rear facing car seats till at least 4 years of age is now the recommendation. I've been advised by a website in the UK and one in Sweden to go for the Britax Hi-Way 2 ot Two Way Elite for my Mitsibushi Pajero 5 door. I was just wondering if any of you have either of these seats and what your thoughts are? Could you also let me know what kind of car you drive as I know that rear facing seats don't fit all makes of cars well. I'm just a little worried about ordering these seats without trying to fit them in our Pajero first. Thanks in advance for any help.
