I'm changing cars for this and have choosen my next car, subject to a test drive. I was just interested to hear about what car you have your rear facing group 1 car seat in (the relative few who have a RF seat) and how easy the seat is to use.
I'm probably ending up with an estate.

what is group 1?

TheBlonde · 05/12/2008 13:10

9 to 18kg?

We have a Britax Secura Hiway but it isn't isofix. It is a faff to install as you have to tether it to the seat in front

We also have a Britax Roundabout from the USA which is isofix. It is rear facing to 35 pounds
Ours seem to fit most cars, Audis, BMWs etc

Thanks for the link. I was really interested from the car angle as this is more relevant to me. Your Britax models would be unsuitable in my current Merc class, so these seats are rather car & model specific.

The good news is that my dealership is trying to get me the RF seat that they sell in Sweden. This would definitely solve all problems regarding suitability and installation.
