DP is 6ft, we have a 2010 Ford Focus, we'd like to do extended rear facing. From discussion and research we've narrowed it down to either a belted seat like the Axkid Minikid or getting isofix installed and getting something like the Joie i-spin 360. We've been told that with the former we'd probably have to move it every time we swap who's driving as it basically won't fit behind DP, which is not ideal. Apparently the Joie isofix seat will give us more space but unclear how much.
Does anyone have an ERF seat in a Ford Focus and a tall driver? What do you have and does it work? If height wasn't an issue we'd prefer the belted seat as it would be easier to take on holiday/use in a hire car. But the prospect of moving the seat around constantly does not appeal (and presumably increases the risk that we install it wrong at some point).
Thoughts? (Yes, I know changing our car would be the easiest option but we're getting married and trying to buy a house this year so it's not really on the cards).
