We have a 1999 Ford Fiesta. Today we went to Halfords to see if there were any group 1 seats in the sale for DD. She is 8 months so hasn't grown out of the Maxicosi Cabriofix yet, but we didn't want to miss a potential bargain! The man, who assists in choosing and demonstrating car seats, tried a few in our car and explained to DH that none of them fit properly. I know our car is old, but basically he said we need a new car and we can't really afford that. Is he likely to be right? Should we try another retailer? I think the problem is that our seatbelts are not long enough. That was definitely the problem when buying a first seat, and the maxicosi was the only one that fit properly then (according to the same man we spoke to today)
