Can someone tell me what Convertible seats are available in England and what the RF and FF weight limits are on them?

Thanks!

This is a quick list, there might be a few others but can't think.

Britax First Class
Concord Ultimax
Graco Junior Mini
Nania Spider, Driver, Maxim, Sprinter
My Child Remi Travel Basic
Jane Racing
Recaro Polaric (rf only)

ALL FF to 40lbs (except polaric, 40 lbs RF only) as that is the limit in the UK.
RF limit is 29lbs on the Britax, Cocord and Jane, but think it is less on the others.

Hope this info helps. Just google the names and that should give you more info on each individually.

Rf only and RF-FF seats in the UK.

Britax Two Way Elite RF to 55 lbs. converts to ff. 20-40 lbs with harness and 40-55 lbs without the harness. (long back) RF to 4 or 6 years.
available at In-Car Safety Center.

Britax Nordic Secura: RF only to 55 lbs (I think) (short back)
Available at the In Car safety Center. RF to 4 years mostly.

Recaro Polaric: RF only to 40 lbs. (Isofix): Available at Paul Stride and In Car Safety Center. RF to app 4 years

Brio Zento: RF and FF. RF to 55 lbs (short back) Available ? but it is there - somewhere. RF to 4-5 years .

Britax Fixway: RF only. 40lbs (Isofix) available at the In Car Safety Center. RF to 4 years.

Britax Multi-Tech: RF to 55lbs. FF with harness to 40 lbs. After that it converts to a high back booster to 55lbs. (long back) RF to 4 or 6 years.

They are not widely spread in GB. But they are there. They are ECE marked so can be used legally all over Europe. You are free to import them from Scandinavia to GB also.

The mainstream convertiable seats in GB RF to 13 kg. after which they must be turned and used FFing to 40 lbs.
