Britax Duo Plus Isofix
Price: £169
Score: 70%
The Duo Plus is designed for children from around a year old to about four (9 to18kg). It can be used in Isofix mode, with two- or three-point (using top tether) mounting, or a three-point adult seat belt to secure it.
It is well made and easy to use with clear instructions. Padding is excellent and leg and head support is good.
Britax Hi-Liner
Price: £55
Score: 71%
This is a forward facing booster with back rest that uses the three-point vehicle belt to restrain the seat and the child. It is designed for children aged about four to 12 (15-36kg).
It is very easy to use, offers very good leg support and excellent padding. While the idea of having one seat for several weight categories is often seen as a compromise, this one does a good job of bridging the gap. Crash ratings are pretty good, with low loads imparted to the child in both front and side crashes. The Hi-Liner has a very high back, which can foul on the car?s head restraints. Stability of the seat can be improved on some cars by turning or removing the vehicle headrest, to allow the high backrest to sit more squarely onto the seat back.
Concord Lift Evo
Price: £80
Score: 71%
This seat is a booster with backrest, designed for transporting children from four to 12 years (15 to 36 kg). It uses the three-point adult seat belt to secure both the seat and the child.
It has excellent padding and gives good leg support and the child has an excellent view out of the vehicle.
Concord Lift Evo PT
Price: £90
Score: 74%
This seat is a booster with backrest, designed for transporting children from four to 12 years (15 to 36 kg). It uses the three-point adult seat belt to secure both the seat and the child.
It is light weight and very easy to install and it offers adequate front crash protection. Side crash protection is good and is aided by the unusual side ?wings? on the seat, which extend downwards to provide extra protection for the child?s abdomen. It?s also possible to adjust the seat?s recline angle, which makes it more likely that you?ll be able to get a good, snug fit whatever the rake of your rear seats. The tall back is good for taller children but in some cars it touches the head restraints ? which may need removing to allow the seat to sit flat against the car seat-back.
Concord Lift Protect
Price: £80
Score: 72%
This seat is a booster with backrest, designed for transporting children from four to 12 years (15 to 36 kg). It uses the three-point adult seat belt to secure both the seat and the child.
Slightly cheaper and subtly different from its stable-mate the Evo PT, this seat has large side ?wings?, which give excellent head support, and the base offers good leg support. It is light weight and very easy to install and it offers adequate front crash protection. Side crash protection is good and is aided by the unusual side ?wings? on the seat, which extend downwards to provide extra protection for the child?s abdomen. The tall back is good for taller children but in some cars it touches the head restraints ? which may need removing to allow the seat to sit flat against the car seat-back.
Maxi Cosi Priorifix
Price: £229
Score: 74%
A seat for children from one year up to about four years (9 to 18 kg), this seat can be fixed using Isofix mounts or seat belts, and has a support leg which rests on the car floor for additional stability. The support leg needs a flat, solid floor, so it won?t suit all cars - always refer to the manufacturer?s guidelines before buying.
It is well padded and provides good leg support, and it has a very high back, allowing tall children continued use up to the point where they reach the weight limit.
Maxi Cosi Rodi XP
Price: £95
Score: 72%
This seat is a booster with backrest, designed for transporting children from four to 12 years (15 to 36 kg). It uses the three-point adult seat belt to secure both the seat and the child.
It?s possibly the easiest to use seat we?ve ever tested, scoring top marks for every aspect of handling. As with many seats in this weight category, the tall back is good for taller children but in some cars it touches the head restraints ? which may need removing to allow the seat to sit flat against the car seat-back.
Maxi Cosi Tobi
Price: £165
Score: 70%
A seat for children from one year up to about four years (9 to 18 kg), this seat is installed using the seat belts.
It is one of the easiest seats in this weight category to use and it?s unusual in that the harness retracts the straps sideways when undone, so they don?t end up behind the child when they are placed in the seat. It has excellent belt routing and easy size adjustment on the child. The buckle?s tension indicator shows green when the strap is secure. The seat is well padded and offers good leg support.
Britax Evolva 2-3
Price: £72
Score: 71%
New for 2006, the Evolva 2-3 Ultra looks very similar to the Britax Kid but beneath the surface there are subtle changes. It?s a booster with backrest, designed for transporting children from four to 12 years (15 to 36 kg). It uses the three-point adult seat belt to secure both the seat and the child.It isn?t as light weight as others in the class, but the instructions are clear and it is easy to install.
Like most seats in the class it has a high seat back which can touch the car?s head restraint on some cars. In this case, it can be helpful to remove the head restraint to allow the seat to sit flat against the car seat back. Padding is excellent and it offers very good leg support and front crash loads are low. Thanks to the high side bolsters, side-impact protection is particularly good ? you can adjust the headrest height as your child grows.
