Chico Fold & Go - A Great Option But Not Quite Perfect
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
I’ve tried a couple of travel car seats now, and this has some great qualities but by no means perfect. This is an isize seat suitable from roughly 3 years, but lacks a 5 point harness which in my opinion is a massive turn off….. Quite chunky so not quite travel size, but more compact then your average seat

    ***SOLUTION*** At 2:59, she mentions threading the diagonal part of the seat belt back through the waist band hook. Don’t do this as it introduces a second lock to the belt, which stops the belt from tightening further. Also, do not put the diagonal belt through both RED/GREEN stoppers. Only use the one closest to the top of the belt. Pull everything through tight as she mentions. Following all of the above will stop the bottom of the seat from jolting forwards. However, the top of the seat does still move forward, however, this is intended as it is meant to dissipate some of the energy during an impact. If the seat was tight and didn’t move at all during an impact, the energy will be transferred to your child’s neck, tragically

    i would rather trust that these products have been properly tested before coming to market, rather than listen to a youtube review. if this was such an obvious flaw in the design, it would not have been allowed to be sold. so its more likely some user error in this review, as other comments have suggested.

    • @erinlouiseruth
      @erinlouiseruth 6 місяців тому

      Thanks for taking the time to comment. As others have said, the type of seat belt clip you have fitted in the car can make a significant impact on how ‘tight’ the seat can go. If the seat belt clips and flush with the seat and are not on ‘arms’ then you won’t get as much movement. In my car (mini) the belt clips are higher then the seat, so regardless how tight you pull the car seat, it will never be super tight as there is natural movement in the belt clip. Even if this wasn’t an issue in my car, it could be the case if I was in a taxi or hire car. This seat is also advertised from 9months- and is very upright. Neither of my children would have been safe in that at 9months! The idea is great, and others are trying to do it too…. But there is always compromise!

      Sizing up and folding the back of the diaper towards the babies back helps

      It’s so hard to stop that generally, but deffo not ideal with the harness! I agree with the other comment, but also pulling the tabs diagonally down rather than straight across helps create a tighter fit. Also try different brands, some have elastic style backs to help avoid this and others are more ‘open’!

    Wow that is not how you set up a non iso fix car seat... ofcourse the seat is going to move back and forth like that... it isn't tensioned..EEP

      Hello! I can assure you I followed the instructions and video tutorial. The seat was as tight as it could go. We came to the conclusion that due to the seat belt within the seat being raised and flexible and not sunken and solid; there was always going to be some movement. I even tried this in another car

      Hi @@erinlouiseruth but you are kneeling down on the ground, so you have no leverage to create effective tension... You have to stand up, pull the seatbelt whilst pressing down on the babyseat using your bodyweight and you use a push/ pull method to remove the slack from seatbelt. We ended up purchasing this carseat(on recommendation of the first part of your video actually - thank you) and its great because we are jetsetting around Europe changing cars often so the fold up and lightweightness is really handy. We don't have any slipping because we make sure we secure it properly.

      ​@@LaurentGamboa Did you use the car seat on airplanes while you were traveling? Since it doesn't have an airplane-safe label, I'm afraid the airlines will not allow me to use it. Has anyone used it on an airplane? I'm flying with my 17-month-old baby, and I like the seat. I just don't want to deal with the airline staff telling me I cannot use it.

      if you look for a safe seat, there is only the nachfolger HyFive which is small folding and below 5kg. Rearfacing seats are bigger, but thats valid for all super safe rear facing seats.

    I know this is an old video but our 3 month old was just fitted for one of these. Our pediatrician put it on her bare skin but said we could choose to do clothes over the Barnes or under, whatever we wanted. Is there a benefit to doing one instead of the other? Obviously under the harness would help with rubbing but for certain clothing items like footed pajamas or pants I’m wondering how I would change her diaper if the clothes were under the harness

    • @erinlouiseruth
      @erinlouiseruth 8 місяців тому

      Thanks for your comment, and hope you are finding things ok. Feedback we had was that clothes under the harness could mean some slipping of the harness / twisting, and the obvious having to perhaps take the harness off. I weighed up the pros and cons of both and found a way to get the vest on with minimal movement of the harness. Dr’s will always be super cautious and advise the ‘best’ thing to do as they don’t know how careful you will be I guess. I only ever put a thin vest under the harness, everything else was on top (pyjamas, jumpers, trousers)

    Such a skillful change of onesie! Thank you for helping me imagine what my mum had had to figure out. I wore Pavlik's Harness in Czechia in1960, while Dr Pavlik was still writing and in practice there! BTW, my harness was removed only once I'd figured out how to stand in the crib despite it! Presumably way later than they're used now😅! I have vague memories of my mum describing the debate of how often to expose me to the X-ray evaluations which also expose ovaries to Xrays, the *mounds* of cloth diapers and clothes changes to wash, and all the pins the harness required. But your video filled in much of the logistics I had wondered about after I no longer had parents to ask. I expect that your son recovered fully and walks and runs happily. May this be a fading memory, mostly pride of how resiliently and creatively you'd dealt with the complexities of caring for and traveling with a baby in the Pavlik harness! Thanks for posting these tips and video for every parent who is figuring this out!

      Wow thank you for such a powerful comment. It baffles my mind how challenging it must have been in the past, with no easy access to information, especially when I relate it to the lack of information I felt I had which led me to make these videos in the first place! My son is as you say, happy and healthy. We did experience some gross motor delay but likely due to hypermobility and a tibia break not long after he walked! I’m amazed how helpful these videos have been for people, when at the time for me this was a way of coping! Thank you x

    I had a inflatable reboarder from Nachfolger, an Austrian company. Though I think they went under during the pandemic. It was quite big (would fit just so in a VW Polo, if nobody used the front seat) and still heavy with 5kg, but sturdy and comfortable for long trips. If a holiday was just a flight and a bus transfer, the Luftikid with 1-2kg was the winner. Though that is not produced anymore as well. Maybe you are lucky on the used market.

    • @KiSi2005
      @KiSi2005 6 місяців тому

      Hi Leza, but safetywise the Luftikid is not a real car seat, they never made somthing better than a 5,5 ranking in ADAC testing, nachfolger had a 1.9 in safety in 2019. I cannot find nomad in ADAC ranking, but this is highly relevant, if a seat is able to survive these tests. When Luftikid passed R44 the standard wasnt at this level we see now by far.

    • @leza4453
      @leza4453 6 місяців тому

      @@KiSi2005 I agree, I would not use Luftikid in a car. But if you need something in cabin during a flight your options are limited. A big transfer bus is safer than a car ride and you often only have 2 point buckles there. And of course, the super lightweight Luftikid is convenient for flying, where your luggage is limited. So, if you have a holiday without a car, but flights and bus transfers, I would choose that. The Nomad is neither for cabin nor for 2 point belts and the Nachfolger does not fit into economy class seats.
