I'm going cross eyed with Googling car seats. Can anyone help me and tell me what the difference between Maxi Cosi Rodi XP and XR is please?

[winestein]

well the oevrall score givein by the which magazinr is
XP 72
XR75

the XR is the highest scoring group 2 car seat in the current which guide

so no idea what the difference is, just that the XR is best

What's that out of NannyL?

I think I have just got it... can you recline the XR on a fixed base but not the XP?

The XR reclines and you can widen the sides as the child grows.

out of 100

Liath - can you recline the XP but not widen it?
I'm kind of losing the will to live here, comparing features one against the other - now I am so confused I think it would be easier to make DS walk the 50 miles to his grandma's

Thanks NannyL.
Not much in it in safety then, so I am sort of hanging onto the recline feature as I use his Stage 2 carseat in recline on the way back from grandma's as we leave at bedtime.

Dh doesn't think you can recline the XP (he has been researching car seats for our nearly 3 year old) - have just bought the XR.

Right - I think it's finally sunk in - you can recline both but the XR is easier to recline from the front seat if the child drops asleep and the XR scores a bit better for better side protection. There is a bit of an issue witht he base on the XP if transferring it between vehicles.

I think!

Thanks for your help you two. Much appreciated
