A solid car seat, 29 July 2014

Bought as recommended by Which. The isofix mounting means that it fits snugly and won't move around the seat when child isn't in it. Light and easy to fit (albeit the isofix is a bit stiff). Also works well without isofix.

It's either this or the Recaro, 1 Aug. 2015

Both this and the Recaro Monza Nova 2 Seatfix are Which? best buys which they have rated as excellent side impact protection. The Model in the Which Report is slightly different to the model as of August 2015 (shown here) - the main change being the Sict on the side is now an attachable rectangle (as on this photo) rather than an attached screw that comes out, but I suspect changes have included skimping on material a bit. When I read the words "cushioning" and "well padded" that is what you expect. But the cushioning refers to the plastic Sict attachment on the side (cushioning against blows) and by no means can I describe this seat as well padded. My gut feeling was - there isn't enough padding if you get thrown about - the wings feel quite hard with only a very thin layer of padding. The seat part actually has a gap down the sides revealing the plastic. So if you look at the customer photo on here, the seat pad extends the full width, whereas on the model we...

I was a little apprehensive having read some reviews describing the quality as lacking. However, after reading the Which review, I decided to purchase this car seat. My older son has a kiddifix guardian pro which initially looks better due to the extra padding (and it's price reflects this). However, this seat appeared comfortable for my nearly 4 year old and, despite my initial concerns, seemed not to be too restrictive of her view. She loved the colour and the freedom to move her arms in comparison to her younger seat, but the biggest test was night time driving. Whilst my son's head flops forward in his seat, the Romer headrest curves around the chin slightly and my daughter's head was well supported throughout the half hour journey. In addition, the flexible isofix made it easy to fit to the awkward isofix points in my car and the side impact system puts my mind at ease in terms of safety. All in all, a great car seat at a really good price.
