We're currently still using the infant carrier but I want to try and have the next car seat ready. Any recommendations? I also can't decide whether a recline is essential or just a nice to have? Most of them don't seem to recline that far anyway.

I would get a 360 one .
I am currently looking into one for when DS is older he’s 10 months now . We have a Britex Eclipse from DS1 but it’s a pain to get them in and out with bending over !

I wouldn't be without a 360 one it's so much easier! My 3 year old is still in hers but will be moving out of it when the baby outgrows the infant carrier!
We have a maxi-cosi assis fix and my mum has a joie 360, would happily recommend either of those :)

Hi OP, how old is your little one? And do you know if they are big/small/average sized for their age?

Do you have a budget for the next car seat?

Do you know about the benefits of extended rear facing?
