has anybody got a nice recaro child car seat in their subaru which has a harness. Ive been to a few different places now to buy one but all the best ones with plenty of side padding are seatbelt fitting only and don't have the seperate harness.
thx

hi m8
hes 15mth old but hes quite a big un. i tried a bmw fit isofix today of my m8's but the cushion which goes in front of him was nearly under his chin. upto now ive seen the maxi priori cosi i think its called which has a bit of padding up the sides but nothing bucket seaty if ya know what i mean. id prefer one with a harness aswell

Brother_Will

With the ranges im familiar with there are no bucket seat type versions with a 5 point harness. The most secure Childseat on the market is the Britax Duo Isofix and as such i generally recomend this if it will fit the car. The Reccaro one is well built and looks nice but as you have pointed out lacks a harness. The Maxi Cosi Priori is a good seat and the XP version adds a good tensioning system, Maxi cosi are available in a nice range of colours incuding a leather version.
