Didn't know you could get belt extensioners.

Thanks Bungle!

Gonna have to put the seats in the back again and see which is the best sort of extender to use. My little un is in a Maxi Cosi too. Do you have any problems with having the space to recline it?

Cheers!

Well basically the best seat for most cars is a priori fix from Maxi cosi, it is ISOFIX which is the safest way of attaching a seat to the car im not 100% if the new MINI has it but im sure it does and if your not sure feel inbetween the back support and the seat of the rear seats for 2 square hooks. If it does not then the it is best to go for teh Maxi Cosi priori xp this is a good all round seat, easy to fit and basically eliminates all possibity of buckle crunch which is the main issue with all seats.

I work in Halfords on Ripspeed and am a trianed child seat fitter

Do you have any problems with having the space to recline it?

i have seat adjusting brackets to move the front seats back

we have to move the front seat a couple of notches forward to give baby bungle leg room

if you recline the seat the front of the baby seat lifts up and he ends up with his feet on top of your shoulders

I know what you mean Bungle! I reckon it'd be easier to get a different sprog with shorter legs!

I wonder if the missus wold notice if i swapped him for a girl one?

baby bungle is very tall for his age so that doesn't help

hes almost 2 as tall as his 4 year old cousin and about a foot taller than his same age cousin
