Help please! My DM is going to be having my 1 year old DD for me one day a week when I go back to work. She drives a 3 door SEAT Ibiza and it is nigh-on impossible for her to manoeuvre and strap DD into a RF seat in the back.
DD is just about still in her Pebble Plus so thus far we’ve been swapping the isofix base into DM’s car (behind passenger seat) and she’s been hefting the seat in gradually from the driver’s side with DD already in it.
Yesterday we tried putting our RF Pearl Smart there to see if she could manage getting DD in it and she physically just can’t.
This isn’t sustainable long term and we can’t afford a rotating seat so really stuck on what to do? Is it better to have a RF seat belted into the front seat than have DD FF in the back? We can really only afford £90ish for an additional seat so was looking at potentially getting a BRITAX Romer or Joie Tilt - would these be suitable for a front seat?
Any other advice much appreciated as I’d really prefer DD to be RF for as long as possible when she’s with my mum.
I did join the car seat safety group on FB but was a bit scared to post . Thanks!
