Besafe stretch- Do I need to see it in person before buying?

After lots of researching I’ve decided to go with the besafe stretch as I’ve just heard so many wonderful things about this and really want a good up to 36kg seat.

I plan to order one online as I’ll have to finance the payment unfortunately but should I really see it in person before buying?
The only reason I’ve put off ordering it already is that I have read lots of reviews about how much room it takes and it can be too big for certain cars. I’ll be getting a new car in June so would it be pointless seeing how it fits in the car I have now?

All advice appreciated thank you!

Hi. We have this seat for our now leggy six year old. It’s a fabulous seat and my only regret is that I wish it had been out when he was younger.
It is space hungry, so it might be good to see it in your car. I’d definitely recommend trying to find your local independent retailer as they will be able to help you with the fit and also provide after sales care.

Why don't you look and see if there is an ERF specialist in your area who will offer the online payment/finance but also let you see it before buying? Looking on the Axkid website for stoclists is a good idea as Axkid is the most popular brand. If you want to see the Besafe specifically, there are fewer stockists for that.

Or enquire about the returns policy if you're not happy with the fit before buying?
