Could anyone who owns either seat please give me plus and minus points or if anyone has info on safety ratings on either seat I would be grateful

The Joie Bold has been safety tested by OAMTC, which is like the Austrian version of Which? - you can look here:

The Cozy n Safe hasn't been independently tested.

I've not seen either of them in the flesh, but I've heard that the top harness height is a bit lower on the Cozy n Safe whereas it's really tall on the Joie Bold. But Joie Bold's crotch strap is supposed to be a bit tight which can bother some children, especially boys.

You may also wish to look at BabyAuto Dupla, that can harness up to 25kg and convert to booster as well.

All three of them need top tether when using over 18kg.
