We are using the maxi cosi 2 way system for DS. I found it quite easy to chose as I new I wanted isize seats but now we need one for DM's car and she doesn't have isofix. I'd still like to get a rear facing seat though and I'm really struggling to find suitable options.

DS is almost 9 months, DM's car is a 2001 fabia. She will be looking after DS one day a week so while it's not in everyday use it will be used often and on rural roads.

I'd be really grateful for any recommendations.

We have the britax maxway. Excellent seat, goes up to 25kg.

We have the Joie stages as a spare for grandparents etc. The Joie is easier to fit, but the britax has a lot more room and seems far more comfortable.

There is a brilliant Facebook group called Rear Facing - the way forward, it's got a comprehensive list of seats with fitting/weights etc etc

We have the Britax max way. Ds is almost 3 and still had plenty of room. I think it is actually a relatively small seat shell so fits lots of cars. If you can get to an in car safety centre they will advise/try/fit seats for you.

The Joie tilt is erf now to aged 3 or 4 and uses the seat belt. We recently bought one for around £65 and we're really impressed. It is narrow, which is good as we have 3 children in the back all in car seats.
