Can you get a toddler seat in a Mini?

I really want one.
I'm downsizing my car (an old Freelander 2) as the tax is obscene , the MPG woeful and I hate trying to get it out of tight spaces.
I want a Mini. Yes I know it' not practical. I don't want a clubman as that's nearly as long as the Freelander. I like the 5 door hatches but I'm looking at older second hand ones so harder to come by... really I want a 3 door hatch... the dog can go on a back seat (with car harness)
However a couple of times a week I have my 4 yr old grandchild... they climb into the seat themselves but how difficult would it be to get them strapped in? I think they will be in a proper toddler seat (that swivels) for a year or so at least as they are small for their age!

I've got a 3 door mini cooper with a toddler seat in. My 2 year old grandson gets in and out easily and no trouble strapping him in.

I'm afraid I have no idea but this image instantly popped into my head.
Sorry but it's completely unhelpful I know 🙂

I have a 2022 5 Door Mini hatch, and was able to install my BeSafe Beyond with the swivel working in the rear seat. The maximum legroom mode was too big though.
