Rear facing toddler seat recommendations

My 18 month old ds is nearly too big for his joie 360 spin as he's a big boy (even though it's meant to last until he is 4) so am looking for another rear facing seat which will fit him, however I'm struggling to find any rear facing seats for toddlers, has anyone got any recommendations? Seems like most toddler seats are forward facing only.

I have the Axkidd Minikid and it's one of the few that rear face up to 25kg, most are only 18kg.

Ooh I've never even heard of that one before, looks like a good one

We have the Axkid Move. Only used it twice but happy with it so far! It has fewer features than the Minikid so is a bit cheaper, but just as safe.

Another vote for the axkid minikid. It is great, did our eldest until age 6.

Axkid minikid here. Very easy to use, feels secure and not too faffy to take in and out. We got it on sale for £300.

Britax multi tech 3 is currently on offer for £190 on amazon.

Others are Axkid One, Axkid Move, Britax Two way elite, Britax maxway and maxway plus

We have the Joie Every Stage. It rear faces to 18kg. Ours isn’t isofix (neither vehicle have it). We got it from In Car Safety in Milton Keynes who specialise in rear facing seats. I understand they have seats in stock that you can’t get elsewhere. One of our vehicles was very unusual and rearward facing to age 4 was very important to us.... so well worth the 200 mile round trip!! Definitely recommend their service if you are nearby or struggle.

Speak to InCar Safety Centre. They will be able to go through your options with you based on the car you have.
What they don’t know about ERF seats isn’t worth knowing!

Another vote for the Axkid mini kid. Got it a few weeks ago for my very long 10 mo. Easy to install and feels very sturdy. You can install it on the edge of the back seat for max legroom

Thanks everyone! I'm guessing the in car safety centre is shut atm which is a shame as would love to take a look around at the car seats in person before I choose one.

It’s appointment only at the moment. But would definitely be worth giving them a call.
We ERF to 4, and then I went back to them and they helped me turn the seat around.
