hi i currently have a joie 360 ispin for my daughter. i know she can stay in this a little while longer 3years old) i have been looking for another car seat for my partners transit van with no isofix that she can use for some time.
id also like to use it as my matin next seat in my car as its only occasionally used in his van but would like to fit both.
i was looking at the cybex solutions q3, or britax roma advansafix 3 or 4.
obviously safety comes first, although she won’t rear face.
could anyone advise?
thank you
jayne

The car seat advice page on Facebook is quite good.

Neither of these would be suitable as the Cybex Solution is only a high back booster seat, which is for older children, and the Advansafix needs the isofix at her stage.

It sounds like she has a while left in the Joie - do you know her height and weight and her age in months? Recaro Tian is generally a good choice when you need the 5-point harness for a bit and then to transition to high back booster, but the weight limit on the harness is 18kg which is too small for some children.

Or Cybex Pallas can be used with the impact shield up to 18kg then transforms into the Solution HBB.
