Default Kids Car Seats

Bit of a strange request but does anyone have a kids seat (15kg up) that is based on a racing/bucket seat?

Im looking to buy one for my son when I take him out in the scooby and want it to look a bit sporty to keep the theme of the car going

Recaro do some good ones but I cant find anywhere else.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Check the for sale section. There's a guy selling 2 recaro seats on there. One for infants and one for babies.

We've got the young sport in our wagon, our 1yr old look comfy in it and should last him along time, I'd recommend it.

I've got the Young sport for my 4yr old. shes been in it since she was around 12months (i think?). we've got the grey alcantara and have only needed to wash it twice. All of the covers and padding can be fully removed to hand wash also.

We bought it from Halfords as they had an offer on at the time. IIRC Mothercare didnt stock them but that may have changed.

She's now big enough to be sat with a normal seat belt without the baby harness. I think we paid around £130 for it. Even if it lasts for another year it has been great value for money.

I thought about the Momo one but it doesnt look padded enough for a 3yr old although it does look nice

Excellent thanks for the info
Did you bother with the Isofix connection?
