£79.99 |
| Score: |
10/10 |
| Best feature: |
Versatility. Not suitable from birth, but if you have
already had an infant carrier this is an excellent next step. Works
well as a seat with harness, a booster seat with back rest and as a
seat-only booster for an older child. Takes you through three stages
of a child’s development for a very fair price. |
