Swivel seats only go to 18/25kg so won't last you to HBB stage unfortunately. Axkid is a really highly rated seat, as is the besafe stretch. The besafe is expensive and bulkier than the axkid range but we went for it and honestly, I love it. Be careful with britax as they've had a lot of problems with the straps getting stuck and not releasing recently. There's a group on fb you can join called car seat safety uk... you can pop in your LOs height, weight, your budget and you car model and the admins will advise which seat would suit you best 😊 x
We have an Osann ENO 360. Think I’ve spelt that right, it’s from Smyths :)
We have the ickle bubba rotator 360 and it’s amazing. She’s been in it from birth and it’s designed to last until 12 years old. Very affordable too
@Keira not all swivel seats have that weight restriction. Our ickle bubba is up to 36kg
@Rhiannon I stand corrected 😊 apologies that's what I was informed on a car seat group I'm on x
@Keira sorry I didn’t mean to sound abrupt btw just thought I’d say in case anyone particularly wanted a swivel seats and was put off. I wouldn’t be without mine!
@Rhiannon not at all. I posted for a recommendation for a swivel seat on fb but my LB is high percentile and they said they only go to 18/25kg so it's worth knowing for sure... although I hope this one lasts him 😅 x
Swivel seats will only rf to 18kg but may ff above that. The Britax seats had issues with the first batch but I bought mine later and haven’t had any problems
Britax max safe pro (or the safe way M if you want slightly cheaper) is one of the safest seats for under £200 that will RF to 36kg when your child can go straight into a HBB with adult seatbelt. One of the axkids was on sale recently for under £200 as well, an extremely safe seat but a bit more compact than the Britax. I think it’s a 25kg limit which will get you to HBB age if on average or low centiles. Raven is 98th centile so we need the 36kg limit otherwise I’d have gone for the Axkid. A swivel seat won’t get you to HBB age as they max out at 18kg x
