2.5 yr old car seat recommendations

Hi,

I have a 2.5 yr old and a 1 yr old.

My 2.5 yr old is rear facing in the joie 360 isize, but my 1 yr old has now outgrown their infant car seat. So I'm looking to move my 1yr old into the joie 360 and get a new longer lasting car seat for my 2.5 yr old.

Is there any that can be forward and rear facing such as the joie 360 for a higher weight/height limit?

I've searched lots but can only see extended rear facing or forward facing past 18kg not one that can do both?

No that doesn’t exist as far as I’m aware. I would buy an extended rear facing seat like britax maxway or axkid move.

No, the ones that do rear facing and forward facing all have the 18kg/105cm limit. If you want a 25kg limit then you have to choose rear or forward facing.

What's your 2.5yo's height and weight? Is 1yo actually out of the infant seat or just close to? What age would you like to rear face up to?

Hi op, sorry to post on an old thread, but did you ever find a seat that did both? I am wanting the same. If not, what did you end up going for? TIA

@121gigawatts there is a new one out now but it is expensive - Besafe Beyond - it's a spin/modular system up to 125cm rear and forward facing. You do need to buy the base as well.

Oh thanks so much @BertieBotts I hadn't come across that one, will take a look.
