New Years to all. Finally sold the M5, wife was finding it a bit uncomfortable with the ride height and SMGIII whilst sitting in the back with the baby.
She misses the power and the handling but hey, gotta make sacrifices...
Have a GL500 now, handles better than expected. Also can take the baby pram easily. No need to fold the pram or anything, just shove it into the boot![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
This will be our daily driver also a HK/China car. Should've read the forum during xmas, I just got a set of 22" carlsson for the truck :S. Will be keeping a set of original rims in our factory (china) just in case haha.
A question to all the dads out there.
What baby seat for recommended for a 6month + baby. My kid is out growing the infant car seat by around 6 months earlier than stated on the damn label. Looking for a 1 year old+ car seat, Recaro? chicco ( I saw this really nice racey looking one) ?

I am not a biker so might not be the best person to answer but i imagine some design features r diff. from the safety and regulation point of view, it just needs to meet standard such as snell, at least thats what was required 10-15 years ago. for saloon cars, I would just pick one that lets you talk and breath freely. for bikes and karts probably one that can stop flies getting into your nose and mouth ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
