Right then; car seats; total confusion!

[Chchchchanging]

Dc2 due in 20 weeks...
In interest of spreading cash and keeping eye out for deals wanted to suss out car seat market
Last time had maxi cosi and base followed by maxi cosi pearl and same base
Original seal handle gone so need to buy new one... But with the rear seat guide I'm lost!
I have a saloon car it's big enough, but there is no way a 3.5 year old would be able to rear face, and front passanger not have face to windscreen
Small matter of they don't look safe for legs and are £400 meant I intend to continue down multi seat route as before
But
If it's law coming in will the seats become more ergonomic and also economical?
Am I worrying about too much with wedged in toddlers?
What have you all decided to do?

I believe in some countries it's a legal requirement to rear face until 4 years of age, including kids with long legs. I found this article a good read (scroll down to "What About My Baby's Legs".

MissTwister, the one I have is a Little Tikes one. I got it in Boots and it just hooks onto the headrest so it's very nice and easy to use. Can be angled either way so I have it on my middle seat and it does the job nicely.

Thanks Cakesmakesmehappy!
