Does anyone know of any rear facing baby seats you can get in the UK that can fit in the back of the car? If so can you post the name/model etc.

cheers

Are there seats thats dont fit??? Dont think so... I have used my regular baby seat in the back and there is no problem. Took the car to the baby shop and they couldnt see any problems with having it there and I took it to the officical road office that deals with child safety in the traffic and they couldnt see any problem as long as it was properly installed with the safety belt. They even told me that statistic showes that the best place to put the child is in the back seat and not in the front... why it is so??? dont know.... but it is a fact that drivers after a while become lazy with turning on and of the airbags. Well, this is what I have got of information... if anyone have something else I would like to know...

no problem, but you realise that the seat need some space and for me its not posible to fit it behind the driver seat. But it makes it posible to drive with both my children in the car at the same time... my wife has to bee left at home though

Thats why we have it as a number two car.....

dont realy know, but I can check it up... I have rented the seat from the baby shop for a year. after a year i have to change it to a larger seat, but its not a problem to fit this in the back either. Go to your local baby shop and ask, try it in the car and get advices from them. My guess is that every seat fits.
