Mazda Bongo / Ford Freda campervan - is there a car seat that fits?

Just spent a frustrating afternoon at Halfords - their expert tried 3 different types of child car seats and none of them fitted in our Ford Freda / Mazda Bongo campervan.

We don't have isofix so it needs to work with seat belts only.

Our daughter is 20 months old and weighs about 10.5 kilos so she will soon be ready to graduate from her original Maxi Cosi car seat.

Ideally we'd get a combination car seat that lasts until she's 12 but now I'd settle for anything that fits!

The problem seems to be the position of the seat belts and/or the 'long stems' of the clicky things that you click the seat belt into.

We can't be the first family to face this problem so can anyone help?

We are having similar issues. Maxi Cosi Tobi seemed to fit today when we tried it, going to do some googling before we buy as would prefer rear facing.

Hey
I was wondering if you had solved this problem? My mother in law has a bongo and halfords wouldn't sell us the maxi cosi tobi i really dont know what to do.

Thanks

Hello! Did anybody manage to find a seat which fitted? I’m trying to find a seat for my 7 month old which will fit his grandparents’ Bongo. Many thanks.

Scroll down on the bongo group link here, it says graco milestone fits.
