Non Isofix Rear facing options?

Looking for some help finding a rearward facing non isofix car seat for our 20 month old. We have a 2009 defender that doesn’t have isofix, so we’re looking for a seat that can be attached using the seat belt only, ideally for as long as possible! Thank you in advance.

Sorry I can't help, but thought a little bump might!

I presume you've been into a large stockist or looked online??

it's been ages since I've had to buy a car seat. I'm not even sure where most people are buying them from now. I'd have to google if I needed one!

You are in luck as the longest lasting rear facing seats mostly don't use isofix at all so you've plenty of choice! Smile

I would go to an ERF specialist if you can as they will have the biggest selection - most of these seats are not stocked by the chain stores. Axkid are the most widely-stocked brand, so I would look on the Axkid website at their stockist page and see where your closest specialist is.

Loads of offers at the moment as well by the looks of things. The Avionaut Sky seats, the Britax ERF seats, the older Axkid Minikid 2 so you should have a great selection to choose from.

I have a BSafe stretch, depending on percentiles could last rear facing until about 7.

We have the axkid mini. No iso fix and is for ages up to 6/7.
Son likes it, v.comfy, Swedish plus safety tested.
