Hi, we have been using our new Britax Max-Fix Rearward car seat for about four weeks, since our daughter grew out of her Maxi Cosi Pebble. We have a Citroen C3 Picasso, and bought the Britax Max-Fix Rearward from a reputable, independant car seat dealer in Bradford, who fitted the seat for us and showed my husband how to adjust the seat as our child grows, fit and maintain the seat. It is Isofox only. Our duaghter is now 13 months, and while she likes to be upright now, she still sleeps a great deal on car journeys, and as this seat is suitable from birth, I thought it would recline enough to allow this.
However, when in the recline mode the seat is upright, causing her to flop over when asleep. When in the "upright mode" my poor daughter is bent forward. As far as I can tell the seat does not "recline" due to the incline of the car seats. I don't know much about cars, but this cannot be right, surely the car and the seat are not compatible? All the information I can find on the subject shows the seat being fitted onto a flat seat.
Should I be doing something differently? Rear facing seats are rare, and otherwise this is clearly a quality seat. Should I instead seek to return the seat, what are my rights as a consumer? I would appreciate any help you can give.
