Hi guys, hope this post is appropriate here....
Been looking for a good car seat, and considering the Graco 4Ever. I read in their manual that they suggest ISOFIX/LATCH until 40 pounds only, beyond which they recommend seat belt installation.

Tried both my cars (Peugeot 407 2010, Ford Fiesta 2013) rear seats seem to have ELR type belts (can't lock manually). Should I get locking clips or look for other car seats with built in lock - offs?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply!

Well, for me, the main concern is safety with good crash test ratings (including side impact protection). Extended rear facing would be a plus point. In terms of budget, less than 2K would be okay. The 4Ever sounds like the perfect seat for me, but I'm just a bit worried about installing the locking clip wrong.
Have you had any experience with locking clips and are they reliable?
This would be my second car seat. My kid's (8 month old) been riding around in a Recaro Performance Ride which I'm very happy with (and I think has a built in seat belt lock - off for front facing). The only thing stopping me from just buying another is that whole fiasco with the top tether recall.

Thanks in advance! Really appreciate all the advice I can get

Thanks for the video link! Feel a bit more confident using locking clips now. The top tether recall I was referring to was the Recaro Performance Ride

Thanks again for the info. Think I will go for the 4Ever after all (bottom line, wife likes it! )
