Travel car seat recommendations age 5

Does anyone have any recommendations for a car seat that we can travel with (air) that fits with both isofix and seat belt. Ideally high backed. I want the safest we can get to travel with but would like to spend under £100 if possible. Safety is more important than price.

Any high back booster can be fitted with or without the isofix Smile

There are quite a few which are designed to fold up now for travel by reputable manufacturers e.g. Maxi Cosi Tanza, Cybex Solution G2, Becool Foldy if you like having a crotch strap. The Maxi Cosi is under £100, the other two are over, but Black Friday is soon and sometimes you get discounts then. I would probably check the dimensions of them when folded if you're wanting to take onto the plane in the cabin, rather than gate check it. Though TBH if it is folded together in such a way that nothing is loose and rattling, you are far less likely to have it sustain damage in a plane hold.
