We have the Britax Evolva 123.Fantastic product.When he gets to big for the 5 point pull harness you can adjust the seat so a normal seat belt can be used.Strong and sturdy and loads of them about.

Nobodysfool - was considering the Evolva 123 Ultra for DD (3.6) as DS 10mths needs her Maxi Cosi Priori. She's only just over 15kgs so would prefer that she still has a 5point harness.

Does it recline at all? Not that she sleeps in car much, but it would be comfier if she did. Or can they sleep quite comfortably upright?

My ds is a large 30 months.There are two 'settings' for the evolva which have to be decided when fitting the car seat.We chose to have it on reclined all the time(TBH its not that reclined just not bolt upright like the other setting).As it has the head supports either side when he falls asleep-very easily in this seat i must add-his head doesnt flop about like some i have seen.He is very comfy and loves being in it.The covers all come off to wash.He is still in the 5 point harness and has about another two inches above his shoulder straps from his shoulder-we think at least another 9 months before he needs to swap to normal belt.We bought our 2 from Halfords and got a really good deal.It fits my old s reg Fiesta and dh mg zt.
Cant think of anything else to tell you-let me know if i can tell you anymore.

We also have the Evolva 123. Recline is slight and has to be set before you strap the seat in. Ultra model has adjustable width.
