Does anyone have or know of a RFing car seat that fits in a Mini Cooper???

I am returning to work soon and my Mum will be looking after DD a bit and she is the one with a Mini, its a Mini Cooper One. DD is currently RFing in our cars and will be for as long as possible so I wanted to continue this in all cars. DD is over 12months and about 9kgs so this wont be difficult.

From what I can find online it is possible but most of the carseats mentioned/pictured arent available here.

Any info would be great!

I know we could swap the car seat from my car to and from the mini but I would prefer Mum to get her own as this is just a hassle!!

Maxi Cosi capsules fit but they only go up to 13kg. I think most extended rear facing seats would be too big?

Cosco scenera probably will, it rear faces to 18kg and is quite a small seat.

I was going to suggest a Cosco Scenera as well. I've had ours in our Toyota Vitz with no issues.
