Can't find a summary/table anywhere to select features you want and show seats matching your criteria - everywhere it seems necessary to click through to every single product to try and find out!

Bounty/Emmas Diary/Mothercare/John Lewis etc etc. Am I missing one? V grateful if anyone knows such a site!

(Seeking 0+ with isofix/manufacturer's base but ideally also seatbelt slots for use in a older car too, not too heavy (& ideally compatible with a travel system/lie-flat & reversible pushchair). Appreciate any pointers!

I think Mothercare or Argos used to have a table like that ib their catalogue. My youngest is 3 I may be out of date.

Our Group 0 car seat was as you describe. It was a Maxi Cosi Priorifix. Not sure if you'll get all those features in a 0+.

Cybex Aton Q/Cloud Q look like they'd fit those.

Infant carriers are all pretty much the same, the only thing I would like to see is a list of seats and which prams they are compatible with written down in one place. I don't think you really need a comparison table.

The likes of Britax and Maxi Cosi are the decent ones, they can all be fitted with a base (either seatbelted base or ISOFIX base) or used without. They are compatible with a great number of prams also.

Avoid the cheap own-brand ones from Mothercare/Kiddicare and the cheap seats in Argos/Asda. These are not as safe, and are not compatible with prams to make a travel system.

The main thing is remember about infant seats is that the Maxi Cosi we had was OK to carry, even until DS/DD grew out of it, but the M&P one my friend had weighed a ton!
