Three door A3/1series cars & Cybex Cloud Z (with base)

[boxinell]

I have an Audi A3 (three door) and my partner has a BMW 1 series (also three door). Cannot find compatibility on Cybex's website specifically for three doors and Cloud Z base and Cloud Z car seat. Does anyone have either car and a Cloud Z with base? Does it fit?!

Can you go to a stockist and do a test fit? Most retailers offer this.

I will say though, if you hope to use the Sirona Z on the same base afterwards for rear facing this is quite impractical in a 3 door car, as the way you release the bigger seat to spin is to push up from between the child's legs - would be really awkward to do in a 3 door car.

You might want to look at the Maxi Cosi Pebble/Pearl 360 set, or the Britax i-sense set, as these have the modular infant seat on base and rotating toddler seat, but the button to spin the toddler seat is on the side.

I did look on Halfords' website and it suggested you have to buy the item before any fitting could be done. I will double check. John Lewis have said they can do it also, but their personal shopping appts are all booked out for weekends. I'll check Mamas & Papas.

Thanks for the tip with the next seat. I'm hoping we will have changed at least one car by then!!

Halfords are a bit crap in general for car seats. Smyths and John Lewis tend to be good. Local independents even better - check Cybex's stockist list and see if you have any?
