Reviews on Nania IMax Sp Isofix Car Seat??

I have been searching high and low for a third seat to go in my zafira. I came across this seat which has isofix (unusual for a group 123 seat?), and I thought it was a little too perfect as it would avoid the buckle crunch issue and it looks quite slim (not that I can find the dimensions for it anywhere).
Has anyone got one of these? I am reluctant to buy it as it will cost £30 to return it if it doesn't fit, shame there isnt a shop I can go and try it out really. I would have thought if it was a really good car seat, then lots of people would have heard of it, esp those trying to fit 3 seats across the back. I have been looking at car seats for days and just getting fed up with it all.

The safety of the nania seats is poor at best.... how about the impact shield isofix seat? They tend to be a bit slimmer and an impact cushion is safer than a 5-point harness. It will then convert to a high backed booster for when the child reached 18kg/40lbs

Also, If you bought a Britax Two-Way Elite you could put one of your children in it extended rear facing (it rearfaces to 25kg so will also last much longer!!!) extended rearfacing is 5x safer than front facing. Have the other child in the prince and NB in the cabrio. So front facing in the middle seat, TWE behind the driver and NB behind the passenger :)

i have a 3,5 yr old who weighs about 28lbs, a 20 month old weighing prob 26lbs, and newborn due in jan. Currently have a britax prince which i will keep as i've read it's one of the slimmest seats, and i have a maxi cosi cabriofix for the NB, so was looking at a booster for my toddler though i know she still needs the 5 point harness.

hi, what ages/weights are your children? i managed to get 3 seats in the back of a golf so it can be done! i had a baby seat and 2 toddler seats and could swop the baby seat for a hbb if i needed too!
