  Top 10: Products to improve van security (Article)
  You will, of course, need to keep the dash camera mounted out of sight. Obviously a dash camera is useful when driving, too – recording accidents and proving blame to insurers. Nextbase makes good quality cameras that record clear footage, with a range of different models to suit most budgets.   Insurance – £varies Last of all – and most important – is insurance.

  Review: Thule Motion XT Sport roof box (productReview)
  You can't remove the key from the lock unless the lid is closed properly, which means there's no way of accidentally locking your keys in the box or driving off with the lid not closed properly. We drove through rain, wind and even hail with our Motion XT Sport and it remained secure on our car. Crucially it kept everything bone dry too. While it may not be the widest roof box on the market, you can still get plenty in the Motion XT.
• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  This also creates a sturdy fit so there's no camera shake or vibration transmitted through to the camera when driving. In two years of testing various Nextbase models with this mount we've not had one fall off or break.

  Top 10: Baby car seats under £250 (Article)
  Some parents have said this makes it seem as though the baby’s head is quite snugly contained, but it should ensure that they are kept still and this shouldn’t be an issue unless your little one has a problem with their head being held a little closer while driving. The iZi Go is a relatively lightweight seat, at just 3.5kg, but it still boasts a five-point harness with a magnetic belt holder to help keep the clips out of the way while popping the little one in and out.

  Top 10: Best value dash cameras (Article)
  As soon as turn on the ignition it starts recording and you can forget about it. You can also set the screen to turn off when you're driving to make it less distracting - a little lights tells you it's still recording. With GPS, WiFi, an easy to use app and reliable software that works well, the GS63H is a great dash cam and one that's easy to recommend.

  Review: Maxi-Cosi AxissFix (productReview)
  width=500&height=332.9166666666667" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/0c7b929b6eb74e2eaccfcabd3c65f6c9"> Handles to swivel the seat can be difficult to locate in the dark When rear facing there is also a strap (see below) from the seat to the base back which our chief tester, 18 month-old Eden, thought was a great thing to play with and try and hold onto when we were driving along. Obviously this isn't a problem when forward facing but as the advice is to keep children rear facing for longer, we spent most journeys trying to persuade her not to play with it... The seat belt pins are now plastic rather than metal.

  Review: Nuna REBL (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.46905537459287" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/abc8f4f676e8439cb559855436cddb87"> Four colours are available including this slate grey  The headrest, with its side supports, is great to stop her head flopping about when she's snoozing and the thick seatbelt pads and large seatbelt buckle cover means she's really secure when strapped in. It only takes a few minutes of driving before she's asleep which wasn't the case with her previous car seat. At the moment we have it on the most reclined setting, which is quite upright compared to a standard Group 0+ seat like the  Britax Baby-Safe .

  The first is for recreational use on track days, ride-outs or greenlaning. The other, unfortunately, is the reason most riders choose one and that’s to record the poor driving of others in case of an insurance claim. Either way, a helmet camera needs to provide pin-sharp footage yet be light and compact enough not to interfere with your riding or vision. All of these points are ably dealt with by the INNOV C5 Motorcycle Helmet Bullet Cam for around £160.

  Review: Razor E-Prime electric scooter (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/3d04b84251bb4fae9d0d458eaa9b8171" /> The range isn’t amazing, but you get what you pay for. If you want an electric scooter for short journeys that are too long to walk but not suitable to drive - the E-Prime should be ideal. And, as we said before, it really is a lot of fun.  One final thing to bear in mind is the legality of electric scooters in the UK. E-scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs), so while it isn't required to tax or register them, they're only legal to use on private land in the UK.

  Top 10: Favourite products of 2018 (Article)
  Thanks to the well designed and easy to use the app, it's also something that everyone, from toddlers to teenagers and parents who grew up with the original films, can play with and enjoy. You can drive R2-D2 yourself and get him to perform one of the 18 pre-set actions, all from the Star Wars films. These include the scene where R2-D2 is first captured by the Jawas and falls over. Plus, if you sit R2-D2 in front of a copy of Star Wars, he will react to certain parts of the film - as well as other Sphero droids.

  Cheap classic car insurance (Article)
  No, you do not have to provide any proof of no claims bonus - but your classic doesn't attract any, either. Does a classic insurance policy cover you to drive other cars? Every insurer is different so you'll need to check. If in doubt, err on the side of caution and assume that you're not covered. Why is agreed value so important?
• GARAGE SERVICING: How can I find a reputable garage  to service or repair my car? (FAQs)
  Be careful to find a long list of repairs and replacements, none of which are covered by the warranty, but all of which must be made for the warranty to remain intact. The Drivebelt Dodge "Check auxiliary drive belts" will usually be included on a service schedule. But no mention will be made of making any adjustments to the tension of the belt, so this should be charged for at the rate for at least 15 minutes labour.

  Top 10: Cafe racers in 2023 (Article)
  The handling isn’t the last word in chasing lines, but few will worry about that given this bike’s style. The engine is a 900cc twin and uses a drive by wire throttle so, again, the response is super refined to make riding easy for newer riders and more experienced ones alike. It offers 55PS to be perky rather than outright fast, while the five-speed gearbox is slick.
