Car seat cheap

hey, i live aboard and going to see family in the UK. Not taking a car seat with us. Not renting a car but we will need a car seat in my grandma's car. Thinking of buying a cheap car seat on amazon. No family to borrow from and i have no access to Facebook marketplace or vinted where i live. Im alright with second hand but would have to be delivered.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a cheap but safe carseat? My baby is almost 2 years old about 13kg.

Graco slimfit or Joie stages maybe? @bertiebotts might be your best bet for advice or asking MNHQ to move this to the Car Seat topic.

I'd also say joie. Lots of theirs rear face to 18kg with just sear belt attachments, so easy to get in and out and cheaper then one with tethers. As they're RF they are safer then even expensive FF seats for your DD's size.

Graco Extend LX. For best protection use it rear facing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Graco-Convertible-Rearward-40-105cm-76-105cm/dp/B0BMBBJW5R/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NSVKA1IU9RY7
