A dislocated hip is far better than a broken neck

After reading statistics on outcome after accidents, I'll be keeping my little one rear facing till age 4. So not voting here.

Be careful reading these statistics, the idea of rear facing is to stop a child head projecting forward in the event of a frontal impact collision, it's also aims to be more protective as the child is more enclosed. The problem is, when the impact of the collision is from behind the child's head will be thrown forwards when rear facing. We were rear facing up until 12 months then went forward facing, friends of ours remained rear facing and when their son was 2 had an accident in the car, was a collision from the front, due to the lack of leg room rear facing and what ever way the kid has his legs positioned he dislocated his hip, chances are if he had of been front facing he would have been fine. There are pros and cons to both, unfortunately you can't be in control of everything.

Belted seats are no less safe than isofix provided they are fitted correctly, there are crash tests online where the isofix anchors have snapped in collisions in which case the entire carseat detaches. Joie Stages is great, prefer it to our maxi cosi 2way pearl. Joie also have a new seat called Every Stage that looks great. And Which reviews are based on irrelevant stuff - please do not read them

Are you suggesting this is too expensive? It's half the price of my son's car seat.

As long as you fit it correctly it'll be just as safe as isofix, pull the seatbelt all the way out when fitting it and pull it really tight, you'll be amazed at how secure they are when the belts pulled tight enough. Isofix holds the seat in place at the bottom only, seat belt seats secure at bottom and further up too.

From Which tests
The Graco Nautilus is a forward-facing group 1/2/3 seat, for toddlers from 9kg right up to children of 36kg (around one to 12 years). The adult seatbelt secures the seat and an older child in place, while an integral harness secures younger children (9 to18kg). Find out how it compares with other multi-group booster seats.
The Nautilus offers reasonable protection for older children, but is less effective for group 1 use.
Safety
Side-crash protection for all ages is acceptable, earning the seat three stars in this test, but it falls a long way short of the Best Buy grade.
In our front-crash tests the seat scores four stars for protecting older children in group 2 3 mode, but two stars when used for toddlers in group 1 mode, as we found that it exposed a younger child to a risk of injury.
Fitting and using the seat
The Graco Naultilus has clear instructions and warning labels, but our experts felt that installing and adjusting the seat, and strapping the child in position, were all too complicated.
The seat offers very good leg support, but the padding is quite hard and the seat shell is quite narrow, meaning space for the child is quite limited.
But the view for the child is quite clear and the overall finish quality is good. Removing and cleaning the seat cover is straightforward.
Overall rating
With a total test score of 52%, the Graco Nautilus has no major flaws, but it falls quite a long way short of our Best Buy threshold.
Updating our tests
In 2011, we changed the car body we use for testing to more accurately reflect the current typical family car seatbelt layout and design. We carried out some repeat testing to ensure that previous tests shown online are broadly comparable to the current ones. However, such a significant change means we can't make absolute comparisons.
This result is from our 2012 tests.

Pros: Clear instructions, good finish quality.
Cons: Poor front crash protection, awkward belt routing, overly complicated to install and strap child in, hard padding, narrow seatshell
