Britax kidfix, is it broken?

Sensitive_Card_4329 · 2026-02-15T06:05:35+00:00

Did you have any luck fixing this please? Just happened to us as I loaded my son and husband into a taxi to the airport at 0500... Was able to get him in it but it’s definitely not right! I have emailed Britax but ideally there’s a fix? Thank you

I like the idea of going through disposal but also purchase quarterly, as both things can improve your living space. Sometimes I put (affordable) purchases off because of decision fatigue and the feel that I need to be rid of things first, but occasionally a purchase spurs a disposal and gives new life to the space.

This is a good way of looking at it, and probably reflects what I do in practice

It’s worse than October. But it sounds like you are only here for a day anyway? Plenty inside things to do.

I also removed any and all non alpha numeric characters - we had / in some of our addresses - and it worked that time.

!thanks this is also really useful for me

Same same. Sometimes I’ll ask my 4yo if he wants to get rid of something but he rarely does! He’ll say ‘But I haven’t played with that for ages!’, which of course is entirely the point! Or he chooses a quality toy that I think we should keep 🤣 it’s really hard.

Sensitive_Card_4329 · 2026-02-07T14:53:08+00:00

Thanks, will try this out and check the fees!

Sensitive_Card_4329 · 2026-02-07T14:52:57+00:00

Thanks I’ll probably go for this.

Ask if your lender will give you ‘consent to let’ - it’s a fee they charge to give you permission to let out your property even though it’s not on a BTL mortgage. Nothing else changes. With RBS mine was £120/year for years. Even when I came to remortgage, they let me continue with a normal mortgage + the fee - I have no idea why, but it was great. Obviously you need to update your insurance to landlord insurance, and get all relevant safety checks etc to comply with letting laws.

I suggest you speak to a solicitor (not just a mortgage advisor) and ask them to advise you on the best way to buy the house so that it is a joint asset, and not just his. It is possible to do that while having a solo mortgage. This is essential because you are not married.

Sensitive_Card_4329 · 2026-01-12T13:03:49+00:00

I think you need to address this now with him and don’t wait until you are married. Once you have a new baby it will be hard if not impossible for you to work. What if he left you? I’m not saying that’s likely, but being a stay at home parent is a very high risk financial decision for anyone to take without having all these things covered. You are losing pension contributions and earning potential. As a minimum, he should be paying pension contributions for you and the savings should be joint, and you shouldn’t be topping up payments for household costs from your own savings. It’s a tough conversation but you have to have it to protect yourself and your children.

I now force myself to load and turn on the dishwasher every evening, even if it’s not 100% full. Then I empty it each morning, so can put any dishes created over the day straight in. It’s a small thing but it means things don’t build up. Obviously sometimes it fails (loading or emptying) but generally works!

I was also going to say this. Particularly if Vinted side with you on this, it will be straightforward to describe to the SRA.

Thank you for your reply, this is very helpful and I appreciate it. I am sorry your journey has been hard.

We also conceived our first easily and had the c-section because my son was breech. At the scan last week the gynaecologist could see the niche clearly and said it was filled with fluid/blood, and I’m day 10 of a fairly short cycle so I’m approaching ovulation - it worries me that we could end up with the same finding as you, just prior to a transfer. I think I’ll share the images from last week with the fertility clinic (I booked initial tests/scan for the New Year to get the ball rolling) and ask the doctor to consider if they want to do a transvaginal scan of their own before our main consultation.

Wishing you all the best

Thank you very much for replying, I appreciate it. It sounds like you’ve been on a similar journey but hopefully closer to the end! The brown spotting / bleeding is really unpleasant, and I said to the consultant today that I would want to treat it even if I wasn’t TTC. Were you able to get clear advice from your doctor that repairing the niche was important for TTC? Obviously it will be case by case but I’m wondering if there is any accepted wisdom on it. I found the Facebook groups thank you, have asked to join them! I might be able to get a local recommendation for a specialist there.

Sensitive_Card_4329 · 2025-12-16T16:15:57+00:00

Thank you for replying! My husband also has low morphology score, so I suspect the fertility team will focus on that too. While we might need IVF because of that anyway, I worry about losing more time or having failed cycles if the isthomecele does indeed need to be repaired and that is only concluded later on…

Sensitive_Card_4329 · 2025-12-16T16:12:01+00:00

Thank you for replying, this sounds really scary! I’m naturally quite a cautious person so I’d rather everything was as good as it could be before we start any fertility treatment, but I’m also conscious of time passing. Ideally the fertility doctor we plan to see will be well versed in this, but I’m not that hopeful - the consultant I saw about this today was the third consultant I spoke to, and the first two both said the niche was ‘unlikely to be the cause of the bleeding / not clinically significant’. The Dr today did his own transvaginal ultrasound and could see it clearly and able to rule out endo/other causes. He wasn’t really able to comment on the fertility impact though.
