I need to ask advice. I have discovered that baby car seats are the most stupidly stressful and complicated thingS. I bought a maxi-cosi cabriofix seat and a family fix base. I naively thought they would fit into any car. They don't fit my husband's Toyota Celica at all. Some things on the Internet suggest they do but in reality they don't. He doesn't even have the right kind of seat belts for fitting it in that way.
So... I need to get a car anyway so I'm not stranded on maternity leave and have resolved to get one that fits the above mentioned seat and base and also has 4-5 doors and a large boot. Have found some decent looking ones secondhand online but there is massive confusion about what is and isn't compatible with this car seat. I am thinking of getting a 2001 Nissan Almera Tino. About three quarters of those currently for sale claim to have isofix points which is a good sign,I need to ask advice.

Has anyone else got this car seat/base combination who can let me know what cars are compatible with them? Can't be anything too new as I will be buying secondhand.
