Recommendations for a Group 1 carseat, please!

Hello,

We're looking to buy a Group 1 carseat soon for DD2, who is 10mo.

What I'm after is one that reclines, has a removable/washable cover (and straps, if possible) and is comfy for my little squadge. Preferably one suitable for a girl, so an appropriate colour (DD1 is Disney Pincess bonkers so although it doesn't have to be princessy for DD2, something girly would be nice.)

There are so many to choose from, I'm interested in what others have found to be good. We went through a couple with DD1 (a Britax something-or-other and a Cosatto-something.) The Britax one was fab but the polystyrene head support broke, and I hated the Cosatto with a passion! (Too upright, straps didn't stretch adequately, fiddly buckle).

We would like to spend up to £150.

TIA!
