So my Mum has a Renault Megane Cabriolet 2006. She will be having my DD twice a week so we have been trying to buy her a car seat for her car. The problem is that her back seats are ridiculous - they are like bucket seats, so they have a sloping seat (towards the boot) and quite a steep back. We bought a Britax Eclipse as the fit finder on the Britax website said it would work...but there is a massive triangular gap between the Britax and the car's seat - surely this can't be right. And if I move the Britax seat to make the bottom fit along the cars seat, there is a triangular gap at the back. So we are back to the drawing board - she almost needs a seat and a back that is hinged but I'm not sure this is safe. Can anyone help? It's not as if her car is that unusual (although I do accept not many parents would choose a 3 door cabriolet...!)
DD goes to nursery next week so we are under a bit of pressure to get this sorted and I don't know what to try next - help!!
