Default Baby seat none isofix

As above I will be needing a new baby seat for my daughter who is 8 months old, as the current seat will be redundant shortly. My dilemma is I have aftermarket Recaro(SR i think) seats in the front of my V5 Type R so they are quite narrow what seats are people using, I've no passenger airbag either. I was thinking of one of the recaro seats as they last till she is 4 years old but they look quite wide.

Cheers

The recaro young sport we just bought from mothercare a few days ago, is from 20lb and adjusts untill they no longer need one (cat 1/2/3), our little one is six months old and its awesome, she's much happier in it it was £132 on offer and narrower than the britax evolve models ( we had two adults front and two adults rear plus car seat in the blob tonight, tight but ok.

If anyone needs one, I have a recaro young sport that I've finished with now. It's around 4 yr old but in good condition. I'd be happy with £40

My advice, having done some research, is to go for a rear facing one, because they are *MUCH* safer in a crash for a small child than a forward facing one.

We have a besafe rear facing seat of some kind, which is non isofix. You can fit them both in the front and the rear of the car (Ours is currently in the rear, but I'm thinking of moving it to the front (with disabled airbag)).

This is a whole can of worms I found out, depends what you require first as people's needs are different.
We ended up with a maxi cosi tobi as it has a different way of securing the seatbelt around it which IMO is the safest apart from going isofix, very comfy too.

I have, and recommend the Maxi Cosi Axiss http://www.maxi-cosi.com/products/ca...ler/axiss.aspx

Doesn't use isofix to secure, and is a godsend on your back as the kids gets older.

Yep very similar to ours and 1 up, but bit too expensive for us as we needed 2 for each cars.
