Default Best child seat for 3yrs and older?

Anyone got any comments on their child seats for group 2/3 (3yrs and older)

Looking to move up to a Recaro Monza Seatfix to replace the current Young Expert Plus that has startd to wear through the strap where it adjusts under the seat, or I would have kept it for another six months.

Only problem I see with the Monza is that it uses the cars seat belt instead of dedicated in built harnesses that the Expert has.

I would consider other brands. Just want the best that money can buy, obviously.

Info appreciated

I first had a young expert plus for my son, then I looked at the monza. My son wasn't heavy enough at the time, and I would not be happy about him having been without a 5 point harness. The seat itself is nice but doesn't seem to have any more features than a standard seat that uses a seat belt.

I have the young sport for my son and it's a great seat. The back adjusts to fit a growing child, and it converts to a booster so it's everything he will need.

I just wish I had the young sport for my daughter instead of another young expert. As given another 6 months she will be to tall for the young expert and she isn't even three yet!

Another for Young Sport. We have two of them. I currently have our tall 4 year old in one with the adult seat belt and our 2 year old in the harness. Look OK too.
