As the temperature drops and winter coats make their return, it’s natural to bundle kids up before heading out. But what’s warm isn’t always what’s safe — especially when it comes to car seats.

I had my daughter in the Nuna Pipa Lite carrier from birth and she just always seemed so uncomfortable. As time went on she got more distressed during car journeys and it was enough to cause a car accident. I went to see Claire at Towcester and she went through available seats for her size and we decided the Avionaut Stardust. It’s been a life changer, she falls asleep within minutes, she can see out of the windows when she is awake she isn't just staring at the back of the seat. It sounds dramatic but it’s changed our lives!
