It's time for new car seats!
In the past and based on which reviews we went for Kiddy Energy Pro's. We need the next stage now and the Recaro looks good.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/RECARO-Monza-Nova-Seatfix-Black/dp/B00CKJ8OW0I'm no longer subscribed to Which but probably will do before I have to fork out £300 (we have to buy two).
A glowing user review from here might swing it though. It's supposed to be. Which Best Buy so confident it's decent.
It has built in speakers which is a bit gimmicky but could prove useful on long journeys.

Forget the 'glamour'. Seriously.
Really appreciate the offer but I've just signed up for the £1 trial to access the reviews - I didn't think I could being a previous member but a change of address has probably allowed it.
I'll extend the same offer to anyone on here (within the next month) if they want a review to help buy a new toaster, man bag, white goods, car seat etc etc I'll pull it up for them.
Thanks @richardj and @thorpyfx it seems to ticks reasonable cost and good safety results box. I'd go with the next size Kiddy but I felt the existing ones were a bit flimsy and the material hasn't worn well. So time for a change.

Actually, it's about the child being 'secure' in an appropriate seating position, that's comfortable for the child and safe.
And more actually, it's about the ability of the fckr behind the wheel, and their ability to not kill everyone in the vehicle.
Test scores are based, as are all things scored, on 'ideal' conditions/situations.
I'm a father of three. They're all alive.
The glamour aspect is referencing a brand. Which means fuck all frankly.

Brands will always get more exposure - the thirty quid Asda own brand might be the best car seat in the world. Which probably won't test it so we will never find out.
Of course testing is in ideal conditions but it's still probably the best information out there.
Not sure how to take your comment about your kids still being alive. Does this mean you didn't put them in a car? Didn't put them in car seats? Just bought the cheapest and spent the rest on guitars?
I'm sure the woman who pulled up next to me at the lights with two kids unrestrained and texting on her phone would say she has two kids that are still alive...
I'd like to think I'm taking a proportionately responsible attitude with regards to my kids' safety.
And I assure you this fucker drives well kids in the car or not.

In sure you do. I take a perfectly responsible attitude to my children's safety also, as they are the most important aspect of my life.
And no, didn't buy the cheapest, I find the Graco's perfectly suitable for the purpose they're intended. Although I'm sure that having a different brand label on makes a 'safer'seat.
Reviews are like statistics. Make of that what you will really.
The car seats could be called @jd7072 for all I care as long as the information available to me suggests they are a good seat.
You do realise Graco is also a brand name?
I understand your feelings about the Which testing but out of their ten don't buy seats two are Graco...
As I said we have Kiddy seats at the moment; the equivalent Kiddy are more expensive than the Recaro one so I'm not being seduced by brand name or perceived quality based on an expensive price tag.
Do you tell everyone not to buy Gibsons because it's just a brand label and an Epiphone is suitable for the intended purpose?
