    Default Childrens car seats

    Hi just wondered if anybody has any recommendations on a childs car seat?

    Ideally want one that converts to a booster seat when she's old enough, she's two now so has to be 11kg+

    Britax looks quite good, anybody have one of these?

    I have had two Britax child seats both have been an exellent fit the first one ( Britax Eclipse ) is about 2 year old and now used in my mothers car and the one we have in the vectra now is a ( Britax Duo Plus Isofix ) seat. The Vauxhall child seats are also made by Britax

    Maxicosi and Briax come top in the Which crash tests, if you want a copy of the report pm me you email addy, its a couple of years old now but alot of the seats are still available.

    Stay away from Graco and the Team Tex and cheapo seats

    We have the maxi cosi priorifix and the priori xp, both are great seats. The bonus is that the priorifix is an Isofix setup as well whereas the other isn't. One tip if you do happen to go for either; don't bother buying the add on cup holder, I hankered after one for ages and they are rubbish, a waste of £15. They keep falling off and will not fix properly to the seat.

    Which? are good for some comparisons.
