Help, I stepped on a piece of chewing gum in the car park without knowing it and part of the chewing gum is now on my floor mat. Does anybody know how to remove it?

OK, I have finally bought the Maxi Cosi Priorifix.

I have the following to report :

1. The installation is not as easy as I was LED to believe because the limited rear space of the car does not give you much room to move around and the fact that this seat is bloody heavy!

2. Because of the small headroom of the IS model, I suspect my kid's head will hit the roof before he is one year old (he is currently 5 months old).

3. This car seat has a support leg and so I had been worrying sick when I tried to move the seat inside the car that I might accidentally hit the paintwork of the car with the support leg.

Moral of the story, try other car seat without a support leg (like Brittax). I also think that for a car with limited rear space like the IS, installation would a lot easier by using the seat belt rather than the ISOFIX thingy.

This one looks good, and they have UK retailers.

According to its website, it is compatible with all the old Lexus models. No reason to suspect that it is suddenly incompatible with new Lexus like IS250.

The Britax Duo Isofix is great.

The Fair Bimbofix G0/1 is good too but has a leg instead of a top tether.

Don't get the Lexus one - it is just a dearer Britax Duo Isofix.

Does the new IS have a top tether anchorage?

Does it have ALR rear seat belts that 'ratchet' if yiou pull them right out first?

Yes it does have seat belts that "ratchet" when they are pulled all the way out.

The other question I have is that whether you guys actually put something between the child seat and the leather seat to prevent any scratches or permanent mark on the leather seat?

Many thanks, guys.

Hi everybody,

I just bought a new IS250. As I have a baby boy who is about 9kg, I am wondering if anybody can give me recommendation on child car seat.

I have gone through some of the posts here and I am a bit concerned that some of the child car seats may not be fitted properly due to its size or the length of the safety belt, etc.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.
