Definitely a big difference between the expensive and the cheap
!
We've got a Bebe Confort Axiss in one car - sort of cool because it rotates 90 degrees to allow easy buckling in etc and a Britax... Thing in mine. Both were about £200 each in the Toys A Rse sale, so they aren't the most expensive, but are not the cheapest, either.
The expensive stuff tends to be the ISOFIX compatible range. I looked at this and unless you are planning on being hit by a small meteor it seems excessive. All well designed seats have enough of an out crop all around to protect the child should the adult spec seatbelt break...!
The main difference is in the protection afforded to the child and the comfiness of the seat.
I guess it all boils down to: what price do you place on your child's safety?

Back that up with a quick look at the Euro NCAP ratings of your prospective hire cars... Worked when I bought my Croma: Occupants - safe as houses! Pedestrians - toast. Errrr... We'll just brush that bit under the carpet! "what price do you place on your child's safety?"

...at least that was the conclusion we came to, and as a bonus, you won't need to buy another seat.
Child happy, secure & safe, parents happy.

We've got a Recaro young sport (we actually have 2, 1 for each car) and it's brilliant, fits well, very easy to adjust and most importantly, it's easy to take apart and clean
Okay, it's not the cheapest, but it is well made
This is what we've used for all of ours. We have had two seats in total and can't fault them. They are adjustable and will last your kiddie for a while. Okay, it's not the cheapest, but it is well made
Have a look at the Jane range (they are Spanish so pronounced haanay apparently). Have got them in two cars. Will expand to suit my son up to when he doesn't need a seat. They are Isofix and rated well for safety when I bought them.
They were hard to come by when I bought ours 6 years ago but I notice even Tesco online do them now. The Momo ones look good at £160 a pop. They arent cheap but they are good.

Maxi cosi.
Really they are top of the safety ratings and price is acceptable too.
Remember that seat will last them until they are 4 or 5 depending on size of the child.
We went for the cabrifix and got an isofix base so when they grow out of the Group 0 the group 1 seat drops straight in.

Oops... The one in my car isn't a Britax at all! It's a Maxi Cosi and very good it is, too! I forgot to mention that our eldest is only now, at 3 3/4, growing out of it. Plenty of use, then... Another year and the youngest'll be in it.Definitely a big difference between the expensive and the cheap
