I baught a Recaro generation seat when we became grandparents, grew with the children by removing inserts and adjusting the belt position. Won't do newborn but from 3 or 4 months up now the youngest grandchild is in school we have a pair of Graco high-backed booster seats.

Have to say, manufacturers spend millions developing comfortable car seats , then we stick our kids on a block of hard plastic with a quarter of an inch of cheap foam over it and wonder why they grizzle after an hour. Try sitting on a moving church pew for an hour and see how comfortable your bum feels. The man who makes a comfortable kids car seat is set to make millions..

I bought Recaro for both of my kids, I found em a much better quality seat. We do a lot of long trips so I went for a seat with better padding than the other kiddy seats manufacturers. You also need a seat that you can easily strip the covers off to put em in the washer to get the ground in chocolate, yogurt etc out of it.

A good way to do research on this is to take out the Which £1 trial and look at their review. We went for Kiddy, a brand I'd never heard of, but which got very encouraging test results & reviews, and which grew with them over a number of years.

The 'best' seat is the safest one that fits the best, and allows for growth, as opposed to the more expansively-padded ones that look comfy was the conclusion we came to.
