My wife and I need a new Baby seat for the Brava, we need a stage 1 seat (Age 9months to 4years).

Has anyone got any recommendations?

To be honest, I'm not really sure what makes a real good one etc. but my lil nephew uses this:

Bro seems happy with it...

i have the above mentioned seat and yes its a very good seat however a few not so good points its massive and takes up a lot of room in the back so if other people need to be in car they uncomfortable and if your child is a little taller than the average child they last till about 3 years of age not 4.

We have 2 of those seats albeit in a different colour. We have 2 as once it's in the car it's in. It's a big seat as Panda_gal says and makes the middle back seat pretty uncomfortable for adult passengers. It fits fine in both the Marea and Bravo's back and front seats. It's been in a Brava without trouble, as well as Ford Ka's, Volvos and BMWs. Seems pretty universal.

The cover is easy to remove to wash after those little accidents. Nicely padded straps are well positioned. Adjusting is a bit of a challenge, and best done out the car (while washing the seat cover?).

Overall it seems pretty well built with plenty of solid structure which is comforting to see. The shoulder and waist straps are self adjusting which means you only need to fetch together 3 parts to strap in, rather than some which have all 5 straps individual!

Best part is you can clip the child in with the belts really slack.. then tighten it using the single pull strap on the front. Perfect for those times when they're in a stroppy mood.
