Car seat up to age 6/7

Hi all,

I'm looking for a 360 car seat that will suit my 8 month old up until when he can use a booster cushion so assume around 6/7 years old. I can see car seats from birth to age 4 and birth to age 12 but can't seem to find any 360 ones from birth to age 6/7 (group 0-2).... anyone have any suggestions?

I don't think there are any rotating car seats that will last until 6/7. All the ones I looked at were up to around 105cm/18kg, which is your average 4 year old. You'd then need a high back booster.

An alternative is a 25kg extended rear facing seat, which won't rotate but will last to 6/7 years ish.

They don't exist. As PP said, rotating seats only go up to 18kg, which may be as young as 2 and a half if your child is high percentile for weight. Your best bet is an extended rear-facing seat and then buy a separate booster later IMO.

Your other option is something like a Joie Stages, but those don't ERF so you'd have to turn your child to forward face earlier.

We have an ERF seat that can go up to age 12. You don’t need one that swivels as by 2-3 they can climb in themselves.
