It's suitable from 9 months in the same way any forward facing seat is suitable from 9 months - this is a recommendation from the 80s based on when children are able to sit unsupported, rather than it being anything to do with forward facing being safe at that age. It would of course be better than no car seat at all. The Urban Kanga is only 3 kg urbankanga.com/en/car-seats/ and doesn't require isofix, but goes only up to 4 years The Chicco Fold and Go seems very similar to the Peg Perego: www.chicco.co.uk/products/8058664140473.foldgo-i-size-air-100-150-cm.html ; requires isofix

TinySeats is a bit of an unusual one with the isofix base. Again no crash test on it. It looks heavy. The inclusion of a booster mode seems strange and I wonder why they have done that, perhaps to make it seem like it lasts longer? But once you are in the booster age/stage, you will surely want a lighter and more practical travel option than this. I also wonder if including a booster option compromises on the other modes, it does seem to in most multi-mode seats for everyday use (that have been crash tested). However, great to have another option for rear facing if you want to, and the isofix plus support leg is likely to offer better protection from a frontal crash, though it doesn't look that different from the Urban Kanga for side impacts. As you note, needing isofix may be a problem. There aren't any UK seats which are FAA approved, the EU approval is TÜV approval for flights. He may well still fit into an infant carrier which might be the easiest thing - lots of infant carriers are TÜV approved and they fit onto pushchairs which helps a lot with portability. You say you're not clear about the advantages of a Peg-Perego over a traditional booster. I was thinking weight (at 6.7 kg it's not a feather but ordinary boosters can be heavier) and bulk, because it folds kind of flat and is easier to carry around. We have taken a few flights with an ordinary car seat in a huge shoulder bag - not fun, with the car seat that you can't place on top of the suitcase trolley, and which keeps swinging from your shoulder.
