Axkid Move or TWE for Focus 2010

We need a new car seat for our DD (2years). She's roughly 75th centile for weight, 25th for height. She's currently in a borrowed Joie Steadi but we're keen to get our own.

I'm weighing up either an Axkid Move or Britax Two Way Elite as they're both RF to 25kg. We currently have a Ford Focus 10 plate which has sloping seats, but don't think that's a problem for either seat.

Does anyone recommend one over the other? I know the TWE is meant to be more universal and compact, but does the Move take up a lot more space?

Would love to go to the In Car Safety place but it's too far for us to get to!

I've had a browse on the fb group but haven't found anything relevant!

Hopeful bump again x

Either would work. The Move doesn't take up much more room than the TWE and Axkid do sell a wedge for about £20 to get slightly more recline on sloped seats. The TWE works well because you can adjust the seat using the front seat that it is braced against.

I have two axkid minkids and a TWE as a spare. Both are good but I'd probably choose the Move because the seats seem more comfortable and you don't have to have the passenger seat braced against the car seat so it gives you a bit more flexibility to move the passenger seat if you need to.
