Thanks, Angi! That's exactly what happened with DS' 9 month to 4 year

carseat: which was fitted at Mothercare and I was assured it was fine like

that... barely two years later, its own buckle has broken and I had a *huge*

fight in M/care a couple of weeks ago. They said it was out of guarantee

and they could do nothing about it. It plainly was out of guarantee, but I

thought the least they could have done with their own brand product was lend

me a seat while mine was repaired (it would have taken up to 3 weeks to get

a new harness, which was the only way to do it). They wouldn't countenance

it.

Eventually, I got a large discount off a next stage car seat, but I had to

create an enormous fuss... so not my store of the month!!

I read some please that this was one of the reasons why Britax designed the

Renaissance seat the way they have it is not possible to buckle crunch with

it...

& expecting a Christmas delivery...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

My DH hasn't got a clue in this department and gets very narked when I say I

will check it if he puts it in and he just says , " you do it " so he will

never learn. I caught him moving the seat to get the strap tight

(unsuccessfully I might add) so I showed him how I kneel on the car seat to

push it down whilst pulling very hard on the seat belt to make the seat

secure. He doesn't understand that the give in the belt at the retractable

end is OK aslong as the seat is firm from the other end IYKWIM.

having a moan and sad that she could never trust her DH to fit the car

seat properly

Forget message - I've read the rest and am up-to-date again now!!

I hope this Red Worm Virus doesn't affect our servers tomorrow - I'd

hate to lose touch now what with all the exciting news flying about!

I wish being pregnant *was* contagious, I'd be tuning in all hours of

the day if it was!! :-)
