• GAP INSURANCE: What is GAP insurance and do I really need it? (FAQs)
  Gap insurance covers the difference between the initial purchase price of your car and what you may get as an insurance payout. Many insurance companies offer policies that include ‘new car replacement’ during the first year of ownership, but after this date you may find that if your car is stolen or written off, you will be left with a bill for the difference between what the insurance company pays (which is usually below the full retail value) and what you originally paid for the car or what you may still owe in finance.

  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.

  Group 0+/1 Child Car Seat of the Year shortlist (Article)
  The sheer size of the seat means it is worth checking the dimensions against the space available in your car – it fitted well enough in a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan and a larger people carrier, but it might be tight in smaller cars. This is the case with many seats, though.  If you don’t need to swap it between different cars on a regular basis then this is a fantastically user-friendly seat that is comfy for little ones.

  Review: Nextbase 512G dash cam (productReview)
  We’ve spent a few weeks using one now and it’s safe to say it delivers precisely what it promises – although on first inspection you might wonder how it captures any footage at all. The lens on the 512G is covered by what looks like black glass – but this is a polarising filter designed to reduce the amount of reflective glare from the windscreen. It can be removed, if needs be, but there isn’t all that much point.

  Review: Travall dog guard (productReview)
  Travall is so confident with the guard that they offer a lifetime guarantee against any manufacturing defects, so if anything does go wrong you're covered. One issue is that the guard doesn't cover the entirety of the back seats. My dog is very needy, so when he realised he wouldn't be able to jump over the seats and distract me as usual, he wasn't a happy chappy.

  Review: Cybex Sirona Z i-Size R (productReview)
  Choosing a car seat can be a pain. It means visiting every child seat manufacturer — either online or in-store — to see if their seat fits your car and, if it does, whether it goes where you want it to.

  Review: Iceplane ice scraper (productReview)
  In all fairness, a little bit of forward planning renders any ice scraper pointless – sitting in the car for five minutes with the engine running will usually clear ice, while windscreen cover will prevent it forming in the first place. Should I buy one? Nobody is perfect.

  It is a rear-facing seat suitable for children from birth to 13kg, and more importantly, it can be fitted directly with the car’s three-point belt or with Isofix when you add a suitable base, making it a good choice when your baby will travel in different cars. It also works with Joie strollers, which is a big help in those early months.

  Review: Nuna REBL Plus (productReview)
  And at close to 16kg this is a hefty seat to fit - that's down to the stronger steel frame used. As before, it's not that the kind of child seat you want to move between cars too often.  But it does feel like a high quality seat. So while it's far from cheap at £350 (although that is actually around £50 cheaper than the original Nuna REBL) you don't feel short changed.

It doesn't have all the features of rivals, for instance there,'s no rebound bar, but the seat itself has top quality and, more importantly, sturdy feel to it.
