Convertible car seat

Wh

I want to get a convertible carseat for my 8.5 month old. I was thinking about the Maxi Cosi Pria 85 but I'm not 100% sold on it and I don't want to spend over $300 and not be totally happy with it.

Opinions on Maxi Cosi? Or a different recommendation and why?

I have a Toyota Rav4 so not a ton of back seat space but still pretty roomy for a small suv.
