Britax Billy Car Seat £24.99 @ Amazon

Britax Billy Car Seat £24.99 @ AmazonAmazon are selling this Britax Adventure 'Billy'  high back booster car seat for £24.99 instead of £59.99 - saving you 58% on the rrp.

I was talking to my husband the other day about how inconceivable it is, now, to think of putting a child in a car and NOT strapping them securely into a car seat; both of us remember just clambering in and bouncing around free on the back seats as youngsters.

It's probably not wise to work out how much money you're going to spend/have spent on car seats over the childhood years of your child(ren), but you can soften the blow by keeping your eye out for deals on seats like this Britax Adventure 'Billy' high back booster car seat.

This is the very seat that my youngest has in his dad's car and they both think it's awesome.

It's lightweight, it's comfortable (Edward says so) and it's standing up admirably to some serious five-year-old abuse.

It has all the safety features you'd expect and want from a Britax car seat: side impact protection, adjustable headrest, seat belt guide so it sits properly over the shoulder and the seat is shaped correctly to ensure the seat belt also sits comfortably across the lap.

This is an Amazon Deal of the Week so you don't have to worry about the price changing the moment you turn your back - you've got until this coming Sunday to buy at this price or until they sell out.

Britax Prince Car Seat £59.99 @ Babies R Us

Britax Prince Car Seat £59.99 @ Babies R UsBabies R Us are selling this Britax Prince Car Seat for half price - £59.99 instead of £119.99.

I'm a bit of a car seat expert, having been through all the car seat stages twice and right in the middle of it again with my youngest.

Substantial 'could survive a nuclear strike' car seats like this Britax Prince car seat can be hideously expensive and they'll only be with your child between the ages of about 9 months and 4 years; trust me, by then you'll be craving something lightweight and easy to whip in and out of the car!

But for now, whilst your little one is still in the little 'vulnerable' looking stage (rather than the rampaging, climbing trees almost in school stage) this Britax Prince car seat is worth its weight in gold (half price gold at that!).

It has all the things you'd expect from a car seat made by Britax: side impact protection, a five-point safety harness, chest pads on the straps and the cover is machine washable.

You can check if the Britax Prince car seats fits your car by clicking HERE.

Standard delivery is FREE as you've spent over £50 and you can order online to collect in store if you want your Britax Prince car seat NOW *grin*

Britax Adventure High Back Booster Seat Alex £25.49 @ Halfords

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 18 September, 2010 at 8:00 am

Britax Adventure High Back Booster Seat Alex £25.49 @ HalfordsHalfords are selling this Britax Adventure 'Alex' high back booster seat for £25.49 until Monday.

Actually they have 15% off all car seats ordered or reserved online until Monday, so if your child isn't ready for this seat then there may be another one that is more suitable for the car seat stage you're currently at.

However, this is the exact seat that my youngest has in his Dad's car, and we all think it's pretty awesome - they're his words, if you want his first hand opinion, "My car seat's pretty awesome isn't it mum!"

He's not wrong either. The price is great - it should be £59.99 but has been reduced down to £29.99 and with the 15% discount applied at the checkout (you don't have to enter any codes), it brings the cost of the Britax Adventure 'Alex' high back booster seat to £25.49.

It has a retractable drinks holder and snack tray - these are VERY handy and get used a lot - the headrest has 11 different height settings so the seat will grow with your child.

The seat belt guides over the hips and shoulder make sure that your child is perfectly strapped in and comfortable, and there is side impact protection too.

The seat is super light too which makes it dead easy to move from one car to another, if you just have one or are handing over your child to the grandparents for the day!

I really cannot recommend this seat highly enough if you're in the market for a high back booster seat. Don't forget the 15% web offer runs out on Monday.

Thanks to Lucerysmum over at HUKD!

Britax First Class Plus Car Seat £88.19 @ Boots

Britax First Class Plus Car Seat £88.19 @ BootsI can whole heartedly recommend this car seat, or rather a slightly older version. This is the same one we bought for my son. Boots are doing a fabulous deal on this car seat, over at their website.

Boots has knocked £42 off the original price of £139.99, bringing it down to £97.99. In addition, as pointed out to us by jrwgas over at HUKD, you can get a further 10% off using the code RTPE66. So that’s £88.19 delivered and double advantage card points too.

The Britax First Class Plus is a combined infant carrier and a car seat. It is rearward facing (birth to 13kg) and forward facing (9 to 18kg). Other features include:

  • Click & Safe Audible harness system
  • Side impact protection with deep, softly padded side wings
  • 5-Point safety harness with one pull adjustment
  • Pitch Control system reduces forward movement in the event of an accident
  • 5 recline positions

Britax First Class Plus Car Seat £88.19 @ BootsI’ve found the car seat easy to keep clean. It is also easy to get in and out of the car when in forward facing mode too. Which proved handy for me as I don’t drive, so could take son in friend’s cars easily. Now my only real quibble is the button or lever for adjusting the straps when you want to tighten or loosen them. This is for me a right pain in the behind, as I suffer from arthritis in my fingers and wrists and it does require more pressure to operate than I’ve noticed with other seats that I’ve used.

Half-Price Britax King Car Seat £75 @ Amazon

Half-Price Britax King Car Seat £75 @ AmazonIf you're in the market for going up a stage in car seats or need a new one of the same stage then this could be the deal for you!

There are a few BIG baby purchases that you just can't avoid - one is usually an all-singing-all-dancing-could-probably-cook-the-dinner-for-you-if-you-asked-nicely pushchair and the other is a stage one car seat (stage one seats are for babies/toddlers weighing between 9 and 18kgs which is generally between 9 months and 4 years).

I have always had Britax car seats and the last one I bought back in 2007 cost me over £130 - I won't compromise on quality and Britax is a name you can trust but if I could have paid less then obviously I would.

Britax seats are big and sturdy and the sides are well-padded and side impact protection - I always feel that my kids are well-protected because of these big 'winged' sides that they have.

Half-Price Britax King Car Seat £75 @ AmazonThe seat actually tips forwards so that you can easily thread the seatbelt though the fixings, which I think is a stroke of genius and will save your sanity and hours of time fiddling around behind the seat trying to get everything in the right place and not twisted.  It also has a five-point safety harness that tightens up with just one pull which is incredibly useful as it saves fiddling around trying to evenly adjust two straps.

The rrp for this car seat is £149.99 so I wouldn't hang around thinking about whether or not to go for this deal for too long, oh and it also qualifies for the Super Saver free delivery too.
