It’s a right pain when you only visit a building occasionally. You push a button, ignore the number, then just move to the next loft which opens along with everyone else, then realise you’re in the wrong lift. One of our offices has this sy

Given how rare an impact event is that’s quite reasonable - I’ve had car seats for 11 years now, from rear facing carrier to just a small booster (Italy requires a child to be 150cm to travel without a car seat) I’ve disposed of them as the
