Hi everyone, does anyone had an opinion on which of the above car seats is the best choice? Looking for birth to 4 years rotating which both of these are. Both look safe although Britax looks marginally safer. Any thoughts from those that have these car seats. Britax is slightly more expensive. Worth it? Many thanks!

We have the britax one, i think we went for that due to safety rating but it was a while ago. I love the rotating seat (wish I’d found it earlier) and our ds made it to 4 in it, rear facing. Only thing I would say (and I don’t know how joie compares) is that it reclines so much more ff that it does rf. but that said I was very happy with it and would recommend it

Britax is by far superior on every front. I have both.

I wish I'd bought the Britax, I really don't rate the Joie. Still trying to figure out how we've got a twisted strap on it two days after the last time it did it, I know it's me somewhere down the line but I'm not an idiot so it shouldn't be that easy for me to cock it up 😂

Love our Britax! Really good quality and washes well.

Thanks everyone. Looks like Britax is winning so far! Best price I found is 320. Amazing how expensive they are... it's my first baby so getting used to spending money! 😂 However it feels important to spend our of things when it's about safety. Really appreciate people commenting. Many thanks

I had the Britax. It was indestructible. Smile

@8dpwoah If you fully loosen the straps each time and lay them over the seat sides they won't get twisted :) They tend to twist when you have to fish around under your child for them.
