Ditto - this has started happening for me since the 11.3 update. Bluetooth is fine, carplay is unusable for calls.

I have a 2016 Superb and I have to say that Carplay is flaky. I'd agree with the 50% success estimate. Quite a lot of the time the phone fails to connect which is only fixed by a hard reboot of the entertainment system. Spotify as an app is fairly flaky and often won't connect at first, second or even third attempts. I've tried two Iphones 5s and multiple cables. To make matters worse IOS 11.3 was released last week and seems to have introduced outbound calls sounding like they're underwater (but all is fine over Bluetooth).

Definitely read Which for this. From memory Which recommend you don't go for Group 1/2/3 seats (i.e the seats that go from 6 months to 135cm/12 years old). This seems to primarily be down to their performance in an impact. For your 3 year-old I'd recommend a Cybex Solution Q2-Fix http://cybex-online.com/gb/carseats/solutionq2fix.html (you can get then from Mothercare) as long as they meet the minimum weight requirement of 15kg It's more complicated for the 6 month old who may need a Group 0 seat then a Group 1 seat before they get to the Cybex Solution Q2-Fix at 15kg. If safety is the priority then most of Europe go with rear-facing seats as long as possible - something like the Maxi-Cosi 2wayfamily http://www.maxi-cosi.co.uk/gb-en/car-seats/2wayfamily.aspx. These are really expensive though at around £375. You might get away with just buying one of the bases then using their existing car seat to plug it into http://www.mothercare.com/car-seat-bases/car_bases,default,sc.html?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Maxi%20Cosi&view=grid but the bases on their own can be £175 Avoid the booster seats like the plague - they provide no protection in a side impact.

It's worth a read of the below and a double-check if you are going to be using child car seats with any kind of seat protector. http://carseatblog.com/21536/vehicle-seat-protectors-update-what-you-need-to-know/ http://csftl.org/seat-protectors/
