we've got a royale and it's great. it must be comfy because jack would never sleep in the car as a baby until we got him the royale carseat......first trip out and he fell asleep ]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2009 10:15:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=590034&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#590034 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=589686&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#589686 Author: finnigan

We had a safe and sound, they are good seats but they only rear face up to 12kg which isn't much. We used to release the tether strap to get ds in and out & hen tighten it again.

We have a Brio, its a great seat, definitely worth the extra money, it is heavy, really solid seat. You will also get a lot of use out of it, as it rear faces to 25kg, or forward faces to 18kg with the harness and then as a booster after that.]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:43:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=589686&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#589686 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=589586&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#589586 Author: weegee

We used my sisters one and it was great. The tethers were quite a nuisance to get baby over, especially as they got bigger and the strap to tighten the belt has become really hard to tighten. We still can but have to really pull it hard. It'd be about 3-4 years old.

We did end up buying our own Brio though to get rid of the tethers problem and because it can rear face for longer like Liz said (until 25kg) and we intend to rear face for as long as possible.

Livvy always looked very comfortable in the SnS Royale though. A great carseat.]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:30:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588717&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588717 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588709&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588709 Author: Jennz

We have a regular safe n sound and I love it. I agree with others that it's a reliable brand.

However, if I was to do it all again, I'd buy a Brio instead. It's a couple of hundred more, but it can be rear facing for SO much longer.]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:54:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588649&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588649 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588610&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588610 Author: kriss

We have a Royale but it is sitting in the spare room at the mo while we have our baby in a capsule with a base. I did wonder how annoying the tether straps would be, but safety is our main priority. We chose this seat for safety and comfort, we looked at others but always came back to this one. I'm also interested in feedback on this seat.]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:33:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588610&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588610 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588363&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588363 Author: weegee

JJ's carseat is a Royale, so you can take a look on Waitangi weekend if we manage to catch up

We did a bit of research before choosing the Royale (which we got from Kiwibaby), decided it was worth paying a little more for extra comfort and safety features. It was easy enough to install, and I love how easy it is to loosen and tighten the straps, but I find the tether straps do get in the way a bit when getting him in and out. I'm getting used to it though, and you'd have that problem with any seat that requires a tether strap (which is most - there are some that tether to the base of the seat in front of them but I don't personally know much about them). ]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:10:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588363&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588363 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588353&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588353 Author: FreeSpirit

I've got the safe and sound omega, we've only been using it since xmas but it was easy enough to fit into the car, easy to recline (3 positions), it was a bit tricky getting her in and out to start with but I think thats more me then it is the carseat. Love the 6 point harness, love the side impact protection, love the colour, pumpkin loves how roomy it is.]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:50:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588353&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588353 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23767&PID=588270&title=safe-and-sound-royal-car-seat#588270 Author: Redbedrock

Can't remember which model we got, just know it's not the Royale, but would get Safe and Sound again.
