Hi
Sorry to start another thread on car seats, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of the Recaro baby car seats?
In the next month or so I will be swapping my Group 0 Britax Rock a Tot for a Group 1 forward facing car seat.
I've searched Mini2 and Google for the possibilities and have come up with a Maxi-Cosi XP (which Halfords said did not fit) or a Recaro.
There a a few threads where people are using Recaro Young Sports but I have emailed Recaro in the UK and they have suggested either a Young Expert Plus or Start. I would not consider the Start as I would not put my 9 month old in a car seat without a 5 point harness.
So does anyone have any knowledge/experience of the Recaro Young Sport or Young Expert Plus and know if it will be ok in my 2001 Chilli Cooper???
I can't find any local stockists of these seats in my local area.
The only other seat Mothercare have been able to fit into my mini has been a Maxi-Cosi Tobi but this is rather pricey and I just wanted to know what the other options were before parting with my cash!!
Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give!
Cheers

Why not try another Britax seat seeing as you're already using one, they're bound to have one which fits either with Isofix or without, just give them a call;)

That's very kind of you Martin, you're working in the right place to know. :)

Thanks for the advice guys, I've tried the Britax Fit-finder and that is only coming up with a Renaissance Si (discontinued) or an Evolva - which I am not sure about as it doesn't really recline. Halfords & Mothercare tried a few seats but would only recommend the Tobi.
Its a shame as we have 2 Britax seats we saved from baby no.1 which will not fit (Britax Eclipse SI & Freeway).
I think I am more than likely going to end up buying the Tobi but wanted to know peoples opinions on the Recaro seats, especially the Young Expert Plus - this fits with the seat belt or Isofix (mini is non-Isofix but we have a Leon which is, so it would be good to switch the seat between cars).

Give them a call on the phone, they might have more up to date information, surprised the Explora doesn't fit or the isofix seats.

Thanks Rakey, will give Britax a call next week. As my car is not Isofix, I have not looked into the Britax Isofix ones, fitting with the seatbelt.
Will post my findings for info to others although I am very tempted by the Maxi Cosi Tobi.

Thanks Pip but bought the Maxi Cosi Tobi a few weeks back. Very happy with it, both Mothercare & Halfords said it was an excellent fit and a great seat which is reassuring!:smile:
