Hello Everyone.

 

Looking for tips, tricks or advice on rear facing car seats.  My little one is 10 months 9kg. Getting a bit big for the maxi cosi we got free with purchase of baby items. 

 

I have been looking online and my head seems to be spinning trying to figure these things out. I like the look of the Maxi-cosi mobi. According to the maxi-cosi website it won’t fit in our Peugeot 307 sw, but online I have read comments that it would. But I also like the Graco Myride 65 from the US it is only 125 on the amazon.com but over £300 on amazon.co.uk.

I’d like to keep my kid rear facing longer than 13kgs which is what most of the maxi cosi will do.

 

Any other parents out there have a rear facing seat you are happy with?  Anything I need to be on e the look out for? Any seats you have been unhappy with and I should avoid?

 

Thanks!

Just an update for those interested... I am coming into the homestretch now and I have come to terms with the Dutch way of being treated. I also had a discussion with the midwife about some of my concerns with them. Which is now noted on my chart! Also, I would highly recommend taking a class on the birthing process. It felt nice to be told things in English and I didn't feel I needed to rely on my midwife to help fill in the gaps of knowledge. Fingers crossed the delivery is smooth! :-)

MVN.. I am sorry I don't have 3000+ comments under my belt, but I am not a new member. If you had questions about my authenticity… or had actually wanted to offer helpful advice you could have PM’d or report it to Expatica directly. I have already filed for an extension and was just asking for opinions on providers. I don't see that my request is anything suspect as I said... you can see this is not my first post here. I wasn't aware you were policing honest requests for opinions. Do I have to send you a PM with the words and questions I have had about doing my taxes, so that you don’t denigrate my request? I was not asking for help DOING my taxes. And I didn't know I had to write down my questions about the taxes to get opinions on professional providers. I get the opinion you enjoy belittling and bullying people who are trying to get some info. From my understanding this forum is for expats to post questions and offer advice. It is up to individual members whether they feel like sharing their opinions and I see you like to offer yours with a special spiciness. Well done on you. IF you have more problems with me… please take it up with me and not in this post.

MVN.. yes I know about the money part and that it has nothing to do with the extension. This part ot the tax issue is very clear to understand. Besides I don't make enough here to owe money. Also...although you obviously have no trouble figuring out taxes.. not quite so nice to to say I should be able to figure out on my own. I know I am not the only one who has had trouble doing it. I was simply asking for opinions/reviews on professional preparers. Not asking for commentary on my capability to do it myself.

Hey Everyone... I know tomorrow (JUNE 15) is the last day to file as a american citzen for 2011 taxes. I am having a hard time making heads or tails of everything. Has anyone used a service provider to file their US taxes? In the US I used H&R block online, but when I try now even the questions they ask use words and names for things that I don't even know what they are asking. Am filing for an extension but was curious if anyone was satisfied with their provider and could pass along details. Thanks!
