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!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Maxi Cosi capsules fit but they only go up to 13kg. I think most extended rear facing seats would be too big? ------------- Two little girls under 2!

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. ------------- 7/2010, 10/2012 and 1/2015 |
