Default Child car seat - anyone got the Which reviews ?

Hello

I need to buy a new car seat soon for my son. I will need one that fits from 9 months to 2 years, forward facing.

I dont want to subscribe to Which to be able to read that one review, so has anyone got the review they have done on the above spec seats and fancies letting me have a read, or does anyone have any recommendations. I like the look of the Recaro ones but "liking the look" is not a very good method of choosing these things !!!

Maxi-Cosi and Britax are the two brands with the highest safety ratings.

Maxi Cosi Proxy XP, but only because it has recline settings, which can be one single handed from the drivers seat!

Britax King TS Plus is the best or one of the best in the reviews I saw. Can also recline single-handedly, not like the Ipsos SideSafe, which has a **** you twiddle.

Britax costs an extra 150 quid for ISOFIX though and even that isn't universal, apparently.


Recaro - I liked Tiggs' comment "I wouldn't trust my shopping in one of them"
