If budget is not a big constraint, I would suggest Joie i-pivot 360. It is one of the best rated worldwide for convertible child sear (rear and front) https://joiebaby.co.in/products/i-pivot™-360?srsltid=AfmBOoozOXrtvur6SP0Qq5TXzaFMs5F3yUrQluE_ybd9ybUPoXkO3jM8 I bought it few months back after extensive research. It is one of the few R129 certified convertible ISO fix with shipping available to India
Theres a couple Maxi cosi halo - being replaced with the raia (same seat different name). I have this one and love it, it’s extended rear facing, my roughly average 10 month old hasn’t hit the first marker yet so I’m quietly confident it will last rear facing for about 4 years. Joie 360 - not extended rear facing as per the manufacturer but the marker measurements are close to seats that are so there’s a lot of speculation it would last quite some time in rear facing mode. Nuna 360 (dunno the actual name) - nuna have pretty bad reviews for head flop caused by the positioning of the head rest, I’ve only looked at it and it looks a lot like their other seats so I would be cautious that it has the same issue. There’s a couple of fb groups dedicated to AUS car seats - some are a bit full on but I’ve found them overall helpful in terms of getting the harness fit right and install if that’s something you were curious about.
We’ve had this for both our kids love that it can be turned since I have a bad back! Kids liked it too
I currently have the joie 360 for my 1 year old - love the fact you can turn the seat to get baby in and out but hated it when he was a newborn as his head used to constantly flop forwards and I found myself trying to drive and hold his head at the same time. Does anyone have any alternatives they like preferably one that stays in the car/ turns. Thank you 🥰
If he’s on a spin base now, you’ll find you have a lot more space. We’ve got the MiniKid 2 and really like them (my son is 2.5 now). We have a Joie 360 in the grandparents car and you really need the spin to fit him in, but no issues with the mini kids!
We went for a Joie360 which we used from newborn until he was 4, we only recently upgraded. We chose this over a "system" because it suited our lifestyle better and we didn't want to have to upgrade our car seat in the first year. Worked well for us!
The 360 is amazing! Makes it so much easier!!
