This car seat is group 1 which is suitable from approx 9 months - 4 years. I paid around £100 for this car seat when my son was too big for his first rear facing seat.
Benefits are that it comes with a more than adequate recline, 5 point safety harness and is lovely and padded. The sides come round far enough for you to be sure your little bundle of joy will be well protected in the event of a side impact. The straps are easily adjusted and the covers are machine washable. It comes in many different colours and the black and grey colour I chose went lovely with my car interior.
The only downsides that I think there are with this car seat is that my son has far outgrown this seat, aged 3. I dont think that it is suitable past this age, and definitely not up to the age of 4. But this is only a guideline anyway. Also it isnt the easiest car seat to fit, and is much better if you only have one car and are not having to move it between cars. It would be much easier to buy 2 than to have to keep moving it.

Advantages: Reassuring safety record and a well known brand name Disadvantages: It isn't the cheapest out there and it may take up too much room in a smaller car
the money tree we planted last year has failed to provide a cash windfall, so we narrowed it down to a Mothercare own make seat for £69.99 and the BritaxEclipseSi, which was originally £99.99 but reduced to £79.99 for the safety week event. Both were suitable for children aged approximately 9 months - 4 years, or 9 -18kg in weight. The consultant in the shop was happy to take both seats out to fit them in our car (Picasso) to check which one was best. She was able to fit the seat quickly and easily, however checked that we had seen what to do and also urged us to read the instruction booklet when we got home.
They were both one piece seats, in that there was the actual car seat but this was attached to base unit which was secured by the car's seat belt, rather than seat belts having to go across your child which can be awkward at the best ...
