Can anyone offer any advice or recommendations for a group 2-3 isofix car seat which would allow me to recline while my daughter is asleep?
We currently use a maxi cosi priorifix car seat which is great as it allows my daughter to be reclined if she falls asleep, however we now need to purchase a new car seat as my daughter has outgrown her maxi cosi priorifix.
Any advice greatly received!

We have britax kidfix car seats they are feeling good they will adjust up to take a child of 150cm witch is above the legal hight for needing a seat (although in Germany a child of that height would still need one) The seats in this group don't recline as much as the group you child is in and you have to recline them before your child gets in. I think the jane one you pay be able to do it with child in but their legs would be in the way so you may not be able to, I didn't like it because the side bits looked a bit flimsy to me and it has to last a long time. You know if they are likely to fall a sleep by this age most of the time, And as they don't recline that much its to slop their head flopping forward i tend to leave our nearly five year old reclined most of the time and are nine year old I recline if doing a long journey.

It also depends on your car a bit in a clio I have found that unless I recline them they are a bit upright and my girls start leaning forward

I hope some of this help as I seamed to have written a lot

What timing. Thanks, Gappygilmore, for posting this. I'm in exactly the same position having bought a Maxi Cosi Priorifix Group 1. I bought it thinking it would last is for a while but my little girl is approaching 2 years and is tall for her age and now weighs > 15kg. If it were possible to adjust the height further somehow then I'd probably be ok, but no luck - she's maxed out on the harness position.

Thanks, castleonthehill, for your advice. I'll check it out.

PS, as an FYI - I came across Jane ones just now when briefly searching:

Havent got time to check further for the moment.

Apologies, I posted the same link twice by mistake. The other URL I intended to give was for Jane Montecarlo Plus Isofix:
