Good car seat

Hello mummies, do you all have any recommendations for car seat in the 200 to 300+ range? Looking for rear and front facing wirh 5 point harness. Was deciding between the cybex M fix or Joie stages convertible. But cybex only can be used for front facing and I understand that rear facing is safer for babies below 1? My LO is 9.5 months old. Thanks in advance!
