FF car seat for 5/6 year old that reclines?

Hello,

We have a 'Cosatto Sumo' car seat which is brilliant - I like the isofit option, I love the recline option, and I love the colourful fabric patterns.

We need another one now but Cosatto don't appear to do the Sumo anymore, nor do any of their current 'older child' car seats appear to recline.

We want the recline for the occasions when DD falls asleep on a longer journey, it stops her head lolling forward.

Does anyone know of a car seat which would fit this criteria?

Thanks!

Older children's seats are simply to ensure the existing belt fits them correctly so they are booster seats, they do not recline. I've never known a 6+ child need a recline as they are looking out of the window or having rows with their sibling

Boots have the Sumo online

If you don’t have any joy with Boots, the BeSafe Flex Fix 2 has a recline option.

A lot of the cybex high back boosters have a reclining headrest to help support a child who falls asleep.

@MiseryIn thanks so much! I had seen it on Kiddies Kingdom but at £150 which I didn't want to pay.. hadn't seen it on Boots but just ordered it now (£109 plus 10% discount advantage card offer so much cheaper) .. Woohoo!

@FamilyAreEverything thankyou also for the suggestion :) DD really wanted the fun design so I went with the Sumo though.

@ribbonola Ooooh I just had a gander at the cybex ones.. there's one that reclines AND folds up! I am definitely going to look at these for when I move younger DS to a FF seat. Thanks for the suggestion!
