Car seat for 9 months to 11 years

Can anyone recommend a car seat which does well on safety testing for 9 months to 11 years? My dd (21 months) is very tall and we need a car seat for a second car. We already have a 9 month to 4 years (Maxi Cosi PrioriFix) which I am happy with but I can't see it lasting till she is 4, so I'd like one that will last a bit longer.

Thanks for any advice.

Was wondering about this sort of thing but don't know how safe they are supposed to be....www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdisplayA_65+475_10751_-1_14571_96553_10001_14571

Hi Househunter. If it's of any interest to you, I have a Recaro Young sport for sale that I have only used on one occassion. I did a lot of research when we were looking, and it seemed to come out very well. But then I found some additional research about rearfacing seats, and we decided to keep our son rearfacing until he's 4 (or as long as we can), so this seat is sat unused in the way. (I have now got two rearfacing seats, so we desperately need to clear a bit of space!) I must confess, I wouldn't advocate using forward facing until your dd is a bit older, but this seat lasts until 12. I would like £90 for it, given that it costs £145 newm and we have used it on one ocassion (and I can 100% vouch that is has NEVER been involved in any accident of any sort) Let me know if it's of interest.
