 My wife has a Jul 04 Mini One with ISOFIX. We have been using Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with the Quinny Speedi SX pushchair - the Quinny goes, with rear wheels removed, into either in the front passenger seat (with a seat cover to protect the car seat or in the back with one rear seat folded down. If the former, tape carpet or seomething else to protect the side of the console by the ashtray from scuffing. Carseat Brand: Maxi-Cosi Carseat Name: Cabriofix Attachment method: Isofix Childs weight: birth to 9kg Childs age: birth to 9 mths approx Carseat weight range: Group 0, see above MINI Type: One Body Type: Hatch MINI build date: important as there are variations Interior trim: StandardCheers TT |

| We have 2 cars; a Volvo XC90 and a Cooper S. The Volvo is the main "family" car, and the Cooper S is my local runabout/providing me with some B-road fun! Anyroads, we have one toddler (just gone 2) and a new baby due any day now! When moving to a Group 1 seat (9-16kg; 9months-4years), I wanted to go ISOFIX for peace of mind. But, even though ISOFIX points are pretty much standard these days, finding compatible seats is still pretty limited in UK. Choice seems to be:
So far, the seat has performed well - I don't think it's quite as good as the Maxi Cosi Priorifix, but for one with no support leg it's the best I found. Also, as I said the Maxi Cosi Priorifix also fits in Mini (with ISOFIX)... Carseat Brand: Maxi Cosip.s. My 2 year old daughter loves being in Cooper S more than the Volvo! |

| We have a Saab 93 Sportwagon as our main family car which has a Maxi Cosi Priorifix fitted by Isofix. We have used this seat a number of times in our R53 MCS and the fit is excellent. We have found this seat to be a really good quality (the recline feature is a good one) and the fit with the leg rock solid. The leg helps prevent submarining on soft seats (as found in Mini's) - (the other way to achieve the same effect is by using a top tether). It is a pain in the bum to get in a out as it only just fits through the door aperture and the passenger seat needs to be keep fairly forward to give some leg room at the back. The fit indicators are a good feature too in giving confidence that the seat is in properly. All in all really really impressed by this seat. Carseat Brand: Maxi Cosi Carseat Name: Priorifix Attachment method: ISOFIX, with leg support Childs weight: 9kg - 18kg Childs age: 9months - 4 years Carseat weight range: Group 1, weight see above MINI Type: R53 Cooper S Body Type: hatch MINI build date: November 2006 Interior trim: sport seats leather |

| I just recently purchased a2007 Mini convertible and I had many reservations about how my son would fit and enjoy the car. Before the Mini we had an 04 G35 which he hated. He much preferred to be in our Explorer. I am happy to say that he loves the little blue car as he calls it. We purchased a tank of a booster seat called the Britax Monarch. This seat fits great in the Mini and provides great protection and comfort. I have never been happier with the purchase of automobile or a car seat. The seat does not move once the belt is secured. The seat has an innovative adjustable bracket that conforms to the back seat rest. I can't imagine there is a another seat that provides as much side impact protection. Putting him into the Mini was much easier than I thought it would (Especially with top down.) I would say that it easier in the Mini than the G35. Carseat Brand: Britax Carseat Name: Monarch Attachment method: Seatbelt Childs weight: 40 pounds Childs age: 3 years 6 months Carseat weight range: MINI Type: 2007 Body Type: Convert MINI build date: Interior trim: Vinyl David N. |

| My boy had graduated to a booster seat but having seen a rather shocking video crash testing car seats we decided to get him a larger car seat with better side protection for his head. See video:- .Child car seats | Crash test video This is the one we bought, in fact we bought two one for the Mini and one for the Jag. Bad news is it doesn't fit the Triumph Carseat Brand: Britax Carseat Name: High Liner Attachment method: Seatbelt Childs weight: about 3 stone Childs age: 6 years Carseat weight range: 15KG -36KG MINI Type: 1st Gen Cooper Body Type: Convertible MINI build date: 2004 Interior trim: Leather Sports |

| Carseat Brand: Graco Carseat Name: Junior Maxi Attachment method: Seatbelt Childs weight: 15kg plus Childs age: 4 Carseat weight range: II/III? MINI Type: S Body Type: Convertible MINI build date: 2005 Interior trim: Yes  Mothercare £29-99 The Graco range seem to have a good flexible hinge on them which allows the child seat to fold enough to make contact with all of the mini seat despite the bucket/concave convertible back seat. Britax ones didn't seem as good - I have a Britax Evolva in my estate car, and it was no good at all in the back of the mini convertible, most of the child seat base didn't make contact with the mini seat. |

| Must have for Lapis Blue. Carseat Brand: Jane Carseat Name: Indy Plus (ISOFIX) Attachment method: ISOFIX Childs weight: 16kg plus Childs age: 3 Carseat weight range: II/III MINI Type: S Body Type: Tin top MINI build date: 2002 Interior trim: 1/2 leather lapis blue Don't know if it is still available in the blue. ISOFIX means the base is rock solid. Fits well into the bucket seat but is fairly upright - not an issue if the wee one isn't going to be sleeping... |

| I can tell you what doesn't fit: Our current Maxi Cosi Priory XP. Though we put it in the back for a 1/2 hour test drive, it didn't really touch the seat base in many places - so I'm interested in this thread big time. |
