Rear facing car seat ideal for tall passengers

Does anyone have any recommendations for a car seats that's good for a tall passenger to sit in front?

Context is that my daughter is nearly 11 months and very tall so we're looking for a new seat for her.
We currently have the cybex cloud z 2 so have the cybex base already.
We want to extend rear facing as long as possible however my partner is 6'7 so trying to find a seat he can sit in front of is proving soooo hard!
Right now he sits next to her in the passenger seat behind me but if we have baby number 2 then the back seat will be for kids and he'll have to be in the front

Any ideas?

We have an Audi q2 and may have to look at a bigger car

You want the Axkid Minikid or Movekid. They are much more compact than the Cybex isofix type ones. And if your DD is tall, then she'll grow out of the Cybex next stage seat too early, anyway. They only last up until 105cm (about 3 years for a tall child) whereas the Axkids last to 125cm, which is about age 5.5 for a tall child.

Look on the Axkid website to see if you have a stockist near you as they can try all kinds of things in your car with your DH sitting in the front seat to see what works best :)
