Its headrest can be tilted by pressing a button, allowing older children more legroom. The side impact protection is a little difficult to slide on, but it seems to work and is easy to use.

It's the only rear-facing ISOFIX car seat with a weight/height limit of 23kg/125cm. It's i-Size Plus approved which is the highest level of safety testing.
