My 2 1/2 year old is very tall and he will have outgrown our Maxi-Cosi Axissfix.

I have no clue what to get next, any suggestions? X

I'd go for an Axkid Minikid. Should last until about 5 even for a tall child - more like 6-7 for an average height one. It's rear facing which you should try and stick to until at least 4 years old (preferably longer). After that's outgrown, he'll be big enough for a high back booster.

We have this seat for the baby and it should last until age 4 in FF mode but is typically outgrown RF at around aged 2. Do you mean that your 2.5 has outgrown it in RF mode and you’re looking for an ERF seat? Or that you’re ok with FF but because he’s tall your 2.5 year old won’t last in it until he’s ready for for a HBB and you’re looking for something to bridge the gap? No judgement on your car seat choices, I’m just asking as seat recommendations for each scenario are going to be quite different Smile
