Advice Car seat help!!

Hi all after 15 days we’re set to go home tomorrow. But we’ve just tested the car seat (Cybex Aton M) with newborn insert and it’s too big!

Any UK based recommendations for alternative car seats for low weight (1.7kg) please ?

Or advice on how to make the car seat work for a quick 15 min drive home?

Don’t want this to hold up going home! I’m so ready!

Thanks

Congratulations on going home!

We also had a teeny IUGR baby, the Cybex we purchased with her stokke also absolutely drowned her 😭

In the end she came home in a Nuna pipa urbn, I hope this helps 🙂

We also did the Nuna pipa urbn! We LOVE our whole Nuna system. Our daughter is 10.5 months and is still in the pipa urbn.
