Second in line to the throne Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, was a cool, calm and collected daddy outside St Mary’s Hospital in West London last night.
Fans gathered to catch a first glimpse of the baby prince, who has yet to be named, but is now third in line to the throne. Supporters and journalists have professed themselves very impressed with William’s ‘dad skills’, after he swung the newborn’s car seat in the back of the Range Rover in a matter of seconds.
Unlike most new parents, who struggle for minutes with belts and buckles, William managed to install his precious cargo in double-quick time thanks largely to the equipment – a Britax Baby-Safe Infant Carrier. This seat comes with an ISOFIX base so it can be plugged into existing points in the back of compatible cars. (Anyone else think it’s weird that they didn’t opt for the King Plus model?!)
The seat has won numerous accolades, including Mother & Baby’s Best Buy in the infant car seat category in 2012.
We were pleased to see Wills driving himself and his family back home in the Range Rover – and, as Jaguar Land Rover have a warrant from the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales, it’s hardly surprising that this was their vehicle of choice.
But if they decide to look into replacing their family car, they should look at our suggestions for a family car fit for a [future] king, or search our range of cars with ISOFIX.
