I am out of my depth

Ideally from new born but happy to do a baby and a toddler

Well if you have one set that's all you need I suppose.

Do you think the spin function will continue to be useful even when LO will be in a larger seat? You might want to look at the all-stages ones in that case, even though I don't usually like them. Britax Swivel is a very good price for this and a good brand.

That does look good; DD bought a Joie 360 for me from Halfords but they couldnt find the isofix so we had to send it back!!

You have been amazing! Thank you

Axkid move

Another vote for Avionaut Sky as it will go from newborn right up to 25kg and is exclusively rear facing (around 7 depending on child's weight)
We have the Axkid Minikid which we love but is not suitable from newborn, more from 9-12 months

The Joie 360 is good but if you have mobility issues you might struggle with accessing the spin button and the straps can be tricky to tighten.

I would look at Cybex or Britax if you don't want to pay the extra for an all stages one. But it might be best to go somewhere and try some out.

I tried 3 and went with the cybex one, it was the ease of spin that differed most

We had to rip the seams of the seat to attach to the isofix - how ridiculous is that!!

Yes very annoying! Apparently ford have a kit you can buy which covers up the holes, but still.
