Back in the UK Maxi-Cosi is considered the best in terms of safety, but the Chicco one will also have passed all the necessary safety standards.

If you can get someone to bring one over from the UK it will be much cheaper. We got our maxi-cosi last month for £90, which is about QR500. You can check it in at the airport for free (even if you don't have a baby).

In fact, a member of staff in the Landmark Mothercare told us it was still much cheaper to order from UK Mothercare and pay for delivery to Qatar, and several people had done that.
