hi,
dd is 4.6 and 17.8kg.
at the moment she is in a maxi cosi priorifix, and i need to move her into a group 3 seat soon.
i have no idea about group 3 seats and spent about 6 months deciding which group 2 to move her into, so i would love some help.
it has to fit comfortably between 2 priorifix seats as i have a 2 yr old and eventually my 7 month old will move up from his baby seat to a priorifix too.
i have a full seatbelt in the middle back seat, rather than a lap belt but no isofix (they are on the outer 2 seats).
help before i drive my husband insane with my carseat talk!

I agree with all of the above. The kidfix is fab that what I have but you also need to look at how easy it is for her to strap herself in. Two that might be easier to stap in is the britax adventure and maxi cosy fero.

Could you but her in the front just when it is only you are the children? What car do you have?

i have a fiat multipla, so i have 6 full fixed seats. the 2 maxicosi have to stay on the outer back seats for the isofix and dd in the middle. i could have her in the front but that may cause arguments with my ds1 so would prefer her in the back.

You would defiantly get the kidfix in I had a c4 grand Picasso an put 3 kidfix in it is tricky to do them up which is worth thinking about as one day you will have three. I would try it in as it may fit but may not be practical.
