There’s a Facebook group with is quite helpful called Car Seat Safety UK x
We have the britax max safe pro for my 16 month old and it is absolutely amazing i can’t fault it! Would definitely recommend x
I believe the most compact extended rear facing seat is the avionaut sky
@Abby She did mention she hasn’t got a huge budget so i think this would be out of the question as it is quite expensive :)
Axkid Move or Axkid Minikid 2 will be more compact and cost effective options. There’s also Britax max safe pro and britax safe way M but they’re not compact x
Joie ispin is safe and affordable :)
