in Motoring
Can anyone recommend a good group 2/3 car seat?

Currently have Graco Junior Maxi but apparently they don't do well in safety tests.

    We use Maxi-Cosi and they have been fantastic. Wife did all the research and said they are one of the best in the market.

    Had one during a crash and it was superb.

    I would still highly recommend doing some of your own research as they are all various different sizes and what fits in my wife's Meriva doesn't fit in my Ibiza.

    John Lewis are great for getting hands on and they also offer a fitting service and will check to make sure it fits your car. Also get a 2yr warranty with them.

    I have four of them across the various cars and they are great. There is a subtle difference in the product names, fix infers isofix but they also sell a ridiculous that is not isofix but I haven't used those.

    The Joie Traver looks good at a decent price.

    We picked up the Joie Trillo LX from Halfords this weekend for about £67 I think (after cleverly flying down to my parents and forgetting to bring the car seat!).

    It's fine.
