Just after any advice or experience of this scenario...(although do appreciate I may not find it as this is not really a child friendly car...!!)
My DD 2.5 is in a Britax FF car seat and my DS 10m is in a MaxiCosi cabriofix.
In mine and my husbands cars this poses no problem, however I am due back to work next week and for 1 afternoon a week the MIL will be collecting the kiddies from nursery, a 5 min drive from our house, and being with them til me or my Husband gets home.
She drives a convertible BMW 1 series...
Obviously the logical thing to do is to just try the car seats in her car, but I wanted to do some proper research 1st as I'm just not that happy about it all...she isn't the most practical of people and how she thinks she will get a stroppy and tired toddler and a clingy baby into the back of a 2 door car without some kind of incident is beyond me.
Apologies this is turning into a rant...clearly there are bigger issue than the car :)
Have googled it and haven't found anything that says it is 100% impossible, but similarly, all the evidence says they won't fit.
So just wondering if anyone else has managed it?
Thanks for reading :)
Ps my suggestion is that she uses my husbands car to pick the kids up, so I am offering a reasonable alternative, not just being a total cow, but I know she is taking offence to it.
