I need to buy a rear facing car seat that doesn't require isofix. Ideally I want to leave baby rear facing until he is 2 years old. I can't have isofix because baby often has to fit on the front passenger seat (airbag has been deactivated). I went to halfords for advice on choosing done thing suitable but got a huge telling off for putting baby in the front seat and he told me that he could not sell me any seats knowing that I wanted to use it in the front. We are currently using an infant carrier seat but want to move up to a bigger seat with more cushioning and decent safety features. I sometimes have no choice but to drive with baby in the front as I drive a motability vehicle which has been adapted and when my older child is in the car with all his disability equipment i cannot safely fix a baby seat into the rear of the car. The car manufacturer says it is okay to use s rear facing seat in the front as long as the airbag is switched off. What seat do you all have / like and can recommend. Tia.

Britax two way elite, and get extra sets of tether straps if you need to move it between different cars. Halfords man is an idiot.
