Anyone know of a rear facing car seat (group 0+1) that fits a mini cooper?

Thats it really. Dd is 8 months old. Ideally it would be a car seat that also fits a Seat ibiza and/or focus c-max.

So far the ones I've looked at only fit in the front seat of the mini and only forward facing, which defeats the object really.

Have checked both the Maxi-Cosi and Britax online fit guides and can't find any, sorry

hi the only one that is supposed to fit in nearly all cars is the britax 2 way elite. you could phone the in car saftey centre in milton keynes or belfast depending on where you are. vicky at the essex centre was really helpful. i've a grand scenic and am finding it a nightmare to get one that fits!! good luck!

Thanks for your replies - I'm finding it very frustrating. I think i|'ll ring milton keynes, thanks for the tip nicm and good luck with your search!

hi AttillaTheHan just thought i'd let you know that we have got our car seat and are really happy with our choice.

went to the in car safety centre and simon was really helpful. took loads of time with us showing us the car seat in both cars and how it worked etc. he also said that we could bring it back when we needed straps etc adjusted so would definitely recommend them. the 2 way elite is deeper than it looks and so i'm happy with the side protection. hth

Thats great, thanks for letting me know nicm. Glad you found one that fits.I think I'll give them a try...
