Infant carrier travel system options for a two door Mini Cooper

I’m hoping someone can help me. I have a two door Mini Cooper 2015 and I have been trying to find an infant carrier car seat that would work as part of a travel system that would fit in the backseat of my car.
The issue is there is extremely limited room between when the front seat is pushed fully forward and the door frame. I have tried a few different seats and been unable to get them through.

I am hoping someone has found a seat that fits or know which seats at narrow in width that might fit through. Thanks.

Some of the Mini Cooper models have isofix in the front. I would check this. If you can disable the airbag, it might be more convenient to put the baby seat in the front.

If you can turn off the passenger airbag, put the infant carrier on the front seat.. You can use the seatbelt if it doesn't have isofix.
