  • Top 10: Child car seats under £250 (Article)
    From 15kg (approximately 3 years above), the M Fix SL is easily converted to a group 2/3 car seat.  The 12 position height adjustable headrest grows alongside your little one while the reclining backrest perfectly adjusts to the vehicle seat. Easily installed in your vehicle using ISOFIX connectors, or for vehicles without ISOFIX, the Pallas M Fix SL can be installed using your car's 3-point belt.
  • Best gadgets to modernise older cars (Article)
    It fits a double DIN slot, so check with a car electrician if you’re not sure if it’s compatible with your car. This system effectively replicates the same functionality you would get from a new car with the latest connectivity features, and it's very easy to use.
  • Review: Garmin Nuvicam LMT-D (productReview)
    Not only does the camera record driving, it also watches the road ahead and tells the driver when they are driving too close to the car in front. It also has lane departure warning alerts that work just as well as the systems built in to modern cars by manufacturers. Should I buy one? The Nuvicam is available for around £280.
  • Top 10: Car seats of 2023 (Article)
    It adds increased side-impact protection, which is now part of the crash testing procedure. It’s also designed to be narrow overall, so that it takes up less space in the car while still giving the child enough room to be comfortable. Baby Jogger City Go i-Size Baby Jogger is another firm that fancied breaking into the world of car seats in recent years, and the City Go was the result.
  • Honest John Awards 2018: The Winners (Article)
    Small Family Car of the Year - Honda Civic The Honda Civic is a great family car.
  • Review: Britax Dualfix car seat (productReview)
    In fact moving the Dualfix is not that easy due to its sheer bulk. Once fitted into your car, it's not a seat you'll want to keep swapping about. Of course you can only use the Dualfix if you have Isofix in your car, as with all the 360 swivelling seats. It comes with plastic guides if you car doesn't have them (common on older cars) and fitting the Dualfix is simple, as long as you remember to move the front seat forwards first. 
  • Top 10: BBQs under £250 (Article)
    Cadac Carri Chef 2 This BBQ from Cadac is good enough to use at home but compact and clever enough to take on your travels. It packs down into a small carrycase but once constructed it has variable heat and piezo ignition for easy starting, with a chef’s pan and grill levels for multiple cooking at the same time. Nexgrill 2 Burner BBQ This BBQ from Nexgrill might be compact but it packs a signifcant punch, with twin burners and porcelain-coated cast iron grills for long life.
  • Review: Thule Motion 3 roofbox (productReview)
    Handy as with it fitted we can't take the Audi Q7 into any height restricted car parks. There are covers available for storage but at the moment ours is kept on wall hooks with a sheet over it.
    Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
    The max weight is 100kg, which makes it ideal for adults wanting to spend less time in the car. However, while thousands of e-scooters are sold in the UK every year, it's important that we note that they're only legal to use on private land in the UK. Although, if you aren't riding recklessly in a built-up area - we can't imagine the police stopping you.
  • Dash Camera of the Year shortlist (Article)
    >> Read the full review Z-Edge T4 The Z-Edge T4 is a dual dash cam, with both front and rear facing units - which makes a lot of sense, particularly when it comes to providing footage to the police or insurers. Statistics show that around 30 per cent of accidents involve one car hitting another from behind.
  • Top 10: 125cc bikes with manual transmissions (Article)
    Aprilia RS4 125 - £3871 In the late 1990s and early 2000s the absolute king of the college car park was the Aprilia RS125. When derestricted it genuinely quick – at least when it wasn’t being fixed. Emissions rules mean the new model is a four-stroke with less power, but if you plan on one day riding a real sports bike this is a good place to get practice.
  • Review: Peugeot eF01 folding e-bike (productReview)
    It's worth noting that Peugeot actually started out as a bike manufacturer in the late 1880s and still offer a comprehensive selection of bikes today.  The eF01 is designed for commuters who struggle to find a car parking space near their place of work. Peugeot says the e-bike will allow commuters to park further away from their office, before cycling the remaining distance. When not in use, this French-built eF01 can be folded up and stored in a car boot or under an office desk.
  • Review: Melitta Purista Series 300 (productReview)
    The coffee outlet is height-adjustable up to 135mm so that we can use glasses or large mugs. We tend to keep the outlet at max height unless we're making espresso. A front panel with large, integrated buttons and a rotary sit on the front of the machine, with a drip tray ready to catch any coffee that drips outside the cup. It all looks very smart and we like that the machine doesn't look exceptionally convoluted, i.e. it doesn't look like we need barista training to make a latte.
  • Top 10: Cheapest new scooters 2018 (Article)
    You also have disc brakes front and rear for quick, safe stopping. Only limited underseat storage lets the side down. AJS Digita 50 AJS is one of the oldest names in motorcycling and has adapted to the modern world by importing the Digita 50 from China and applying its own branding.
  • Top 10: Essentials for maintaining your car at home (Article)
    Even so, £40 will get you a decent set of easy-to-adjust ratcheting axle stands, rated for vehicles up to three tonnes. They should last more or less forever, so while there is a bit of expense up front they should save you money on garage bills in the long run, like most of the items in this list. Teng quarter-inch torque wrench – from around £40 Most households will have a socket set and some spanners laying around, but for many car jobs a specific torque setting is important.
  • Review: Oxford Holwell 1.0 motorcycle jacket (productReview)
    The collar features a rolled neoprene finish and corduroy facing on the inside as do the cuffs, adding big style points. It has a big YKK No10 zipper at the front with metal closure studs, zipped pockets on both sides, chest pockets on both sides (although, none of the pockets are very deep) and an interior pocket.
    Review: Piaggio Ape Racing for two (productReview)
    If you’re not familiar with it, the Piaggio Ape is essentially an Italian Reliant Robin rendered in portrait view; two wheels at the back, one wheel at the front, moped-style handlebars to steer and a moped engine to power it. If that doesn’t sound particularly exciting, the modest performance guarantees very close racing – plus there’s the added thrill of the Ape’s three-wheel design delivering some pretty extreme angles of lean when cornering.
  • Review: Land Rover Experience Start Off Road Junior 4x4 Driving (productReview)
    For the significant small person in your life, this can be an excellent way of allowing them the chance to do something adventurous behind the wheel. And while you wouldn’t want to admit this in front of them it will also teach them the valuable lesson of listening carefully to an expert and carrying out instructors...

  • Review: Joie Stages Isofix (productReview)
    It makes it much easier to see where you're locating them. Of course, this isn't an issue if you're going to keep the seat in one car, but if you're regularly moving it between cars, it can be a faff, especially in the dark... The Stages feels a sturdy seat though. The cover material is hardwearing and thick plus we like the stitched-in cover that sits behind the seatbelt buckle - it's better than the velcro version on the Joie Spin 360.
