Child seat - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

For my daughter, who is almost 1.5 years old, I am looking for a child seat that is both safe and fits well in the back of the GT86. Being, that it leaves maximum space for my girlfriend to take a seat in front of it.
I read here and there that Recaro Young Sport Hero does leave quite a bit of space, however, this (as it does not use Isofix) would not be a rock solid fit though. Still fans of the Young Sport Hero here or are there other (more modern) suggestions?

My youngest used a Britax Boulevard ClickTight front facing behind the passenger seat from 2 years old to 5 and a half years old. For most of that time he sat cross-legged and the passenger seat was all the way back but not reclined (i.e. at the angle that it returns to after folding forward), with my oldest (8 to 11 years old) sitting in the passenger seat. That started being too cramped around 5 years old so we started leaving the passenger seat a little more forward. My son is a little tall and skinny in percentiles.
When my wife was a passenger she reclined the seat and pulled it a little forward and both of them had enough room for short drives.
