Our new arrival was born a two weeks earlier than expected, and we hadn't bought a car seat yet. At the time there seemed to have been a general run on infant car seats, with the all options across London being on a week's backorder, except for M&P's Primo Viaggio!
Make sure you drive a large car if you are thinking of this seat! This infant seat is bigger and more than twice as heavy than needs be. The seat barely fits in our VW Golf, even with the front seat all the way forward, and it's hard to get through the door with such a high handle. It's a lot heavier than others I've since seen, making it too difficult to manage/lift for all but perhaps the man of the house!
If that's not enough to put you off, it's also more expensive than the alternatives!
