I have bought, tried and returned 5 car seats now as none of them fitted my car correctly and I am loosing the will to live!
Some won't sit flat on the seat as the seats are angled, one was so big the seatbelt wouldn't fit round it, one would only fit if the front passenger seat was pushed so far forward it was unusable :(
I have a Renault Clio, 5 door, T (1999) reg car.
It does not have Isofix and we need to use all 5 seats as we have 3 children.
My daughter is 7 months old and we are looking for a group 0+1 car seat that will rear face at first and then turn forward facing, the one's that last until around age 4. It cannot be a forward facing only one as the laws are soon to change that babies must rear face until 15 months and we do not want to have to buy a new seat at that point as she will still be under this age.
Maxi-Cosi tell me that the only seat that will fit is a group 0 (birth to 9 months) but we want a longer lasting one as my daughter is already almost too big.
Britax tell me they do not make a single car seat to fit my car.
There has got to be one surely!
It's not exactly an unusual car!
At this point in time I don't care what it costs or what it looks like it just has to fit!
Does anyone out there also have an older Clio and if so what car seats do you use?
