Group 2-3 car seat non isofix

[jimwilli]

Anyone got any links or recommendations for group2-3 car seat which can use seatbelt. We have a 1-3 one which suits in Graco but discontinued and littlest one needs to move up into that. Bigger kid, 19kg approx 110cm needs evicting to a new seat. The daily driver does have isofix so probably is not a deal breaker nowadays but seatbelt fix is handy as can throw in van or the e36.
Cheers for any advice.

Lots of seats have ISOFIX that folds out of the way or retracts, to allow use in cars without.
We had a couple of Cybex seats for our kids, did the job well.

A friend put me onto this one so ordered. Seems a good deal.

If you're looking for a high back booster or any child car seat take a look a the ADAC website for car seat testing and look for one with the best security score.

Aren't Group 2/3 seats the "booster" ones which use the car seatbelt to hold the child rather than having their own integrated belts?

That means they are all effectively "seatbelt fix", though personally I got one with Isofix (Maxicosi Rodifix). If the seat doesn't have Isofix, you have to do the seatbelt up over the seat to hold the seat in place when there's no child in it.

That's really annoying as the child is now big enough to get into the seat and strap themselves in, but still small enough to be oblivious to the fact they've just got into the car and sat on top of the seatbelt. There's only so many shouts of "Dad, I can't fund the seatbelt" most people can tolerate after getting in the car in the rain!!

We use Joie Stages and Fortifi to take in hire cars etc. They’re comfy and average quality.
