F30 car seat recommendation

My toddler son recently crossed the height/weight limits of infant car seat. I am looking to transition him to front facing seat that fits well in F30 without compromising leg room in the front. What do you guys recommend? Also what position do you place the seat? middle or window seats?

We've been using Recaro for our two girls. We have three different seats due to their size. We've been very happy with the quality of the brand over the past five years.

All the front facing ones give good leg room up front, it's just the rear facing that are a bummer. I use Britax car seats.

we have britax trifix: britax.co.uk/car-seats/trifix/
It's isofix, so can't go in the middle. I've put a protection mat under it, so it does less damaged to the leather. Happy with it, seems solid, I manage to put the kid in ok, she is climbing in the seat now (she's 3) and it allows about 15 degrees of tilt, which makes it more comfy for sleeping.
