Rear-facing car seat recommendations for a 7 month old on £150 budget

[SarahBeck]

Looking for car seat recommendations for my 7 month old son. He weighs 9.3kg and is around 70cm in length. Rear facing for as long as possible. Budget of around £150.
Thanks in advance!

I would probably look at Graco Slimfit R129 - it allows RF up to 105cm / 21kg whichever comes first. With your LO's centiles, if he stays on roughly the same lines, it will get him to nearly age 4 rear facing. He might also slow down a bit and get to over 4 :)

The other ones to look at for your budget would be Graco Turn2Me, Joie 360 Spin or Joie i-Pivot, although not the "Grow" versions. These are all isofix spin seats, but they don't have the 21kg weight limit - they stop at 18/19kg depending on the model.

Britax Safeway would be the one to stretch for if your budget can manage because it lasts up to 125cm / 36kg instead which will get you comfortably past age 4. However it is a stretch at £199 and not available immediately - you'd be preordering the new one for October release.
