Does a Jane Isofix Team carseat fit in a Skoda Fabia? Anyone got one?

Hiya - my DD1 is approaching 4 and needs to "go up" to a stage 2/3 carseat. We have a SKoda Fabia and when we bought a stage 1 seat we had a very limiteed choice with Isofix - we bought a Britax one. Great EXCEPT it had a very chunky head-hugger cushion that rubbed on her cheeks, and was non removable.

Now, going to upgrade there are only two Isofix stage 2/3 seats on the market. One is the Britax Kidfix - looks bulky as hell and has the AARG headhugger cushion again. I really can't see her staying in that until 12 years!!!!!

The other is the Jane Team PLus 2/3 seat with Isofix. It looks MUCH simpler, doesn't have a head-hugger, and even better you can take the back off when she's big enough for the booster alone. And the Isofix stops it sliding about the car. ...But on the Jane website it says this is only "recommended" for the Skoda Comfort (which we don't have).

Does anyone have a Fabia and use one of these Jane Team seats? I can't find a "real" retailer for them, and am reluctant to spend £100 on an online seller if the seat may not fit in the car. They surely can't be all that different at the stage 2/3 size, can they?

Advice please!!!!

Correction - the Jane seat I'm thinking of is also alled a Indy PLus (or an Indy Team PLus) depending on which website you visit- as far as I can tell it's an identical seat.
