Anyone had a Brio Zento or Britax Two Way Elite in a Vauxhall Meriva?

We're looking to get a RF stage 1 seat and we're choosing between a Zento or a TWE - has anyone got either of these in a Meriva (ours is a 2008 version)

We have narrowed it down to these two as they can be used FF if necessary in grandparents cars.

No where near us stocks them and it is way too far to go to Milton Keynes In Car Safety Centre Sad

Where abouts are you?
Maybe somone on here lives near you with one of these seats and wont mind you having a look and trying it in your car to see if it fits ok.

MyBoots thanks thats a good idea but I've called the In Car Safety Centre and they said that the TWE fits fine in a Meriva so I think I'll give that a go. Apparently you can't get the Zento in the UK at the moment as there is currently no UK distributor, so unless somewhere has old stock you can't get it now so I guess thats the decision made for me!

I have a TWE in a meriva, tis no bother, fits really well, feels very secure and sturdy, really stable to. Would definitely recommend it!

I'll put up a few pics if you would like Tinky Winky.
