Hello, glad your enjoying the car. I'm located near Dorchester so you might see me about.
Let me know if you need any spare parts or help with the car.
welcome...
I'll disappoint you now and say the recaro baby seat doesn't fit :(

ah about to go test the car seat but should be fine as the rear belts are pretty long so no issues i hope.
you'll probably be fine with rear facing, it's just front facing in the back where the bench isn't level...
oh crap, I'm not cool anymore!

hi guys i get my little ones front facing maxi cosi in on the back seats fine with loads of room but i dont have isofix fittings so it makes its easier, although be warned the front seat does need to be some distance forward to manage to get a little one in and out lol but i find its a good compromise to have.

yeah notic3ed that when trying today, but there's still ample room in the front foot well to be comfortable for a journy, the only issue i had was the trough on the back seat did not allow the car seat to sit in it, i originally had this seat tested on my old vectra gsi and it was a spot on fit in there, just so long as he's pinned in by his belt the car belt and squashed between the seats lol, cant go wrong.

No my little ones car seat actually rests on top of the seat it does not actually sit snug but i find its a good fit and like u said the seat belt and her belt hold her in tight, i find that when putting her in i actually perch on the front seat when tilted lol, there is plenty of room its just making sure u dont park too close to some one else other wise its a real bitch to manouver them in and out. but really worth the hassel, mine loves the sun roof up thinks it fab, but thats 2yr olds for u, good luck and have fun!!
I just trained mine to get in himself... job's a good un :D
Do need to find a protector for the back of the passenger seat though, now he's big enough to kick it even when it's all the way forward...
