I'm using a Recaro Start seat for my daughter, and the seat gets transferred between MINIs, Zafira, Corsa, Mercedes etc. It hasn't been approved in any of these cars, yet if I have an accident, how will it invalidate my insurance. I think that it's one of the best child seats on the market for protection and I'd trust a brand name like Recaro who make seats through and through.

Im thinking about buying the recaro start, it's between that and BMW junior seat II - Our daughter is 2 and 1/2 and is out growing the Britax renaissance fast (her head nearly hits the roof!!) when the sales guy at halfords fitted the recaro seat it seemed perfect for the MINI as it was a nice snug fit. The only thing which concerned me was the way the seatbelt held the seat in via 1 tensioner & the seat did seem to move a bit. Did the guy fit it wrong & how secure is yours?? thanks?
