URGENT HELP NEEDED RE: CHILD SEAT
 
Help,

Can anyone tell me which 0+ age childs rear facing car seat will fit the back seat of my RB5. I'm having a nightmare trying to find one, so far tried about nine different seats but every shop I go to say's no that doesn't fit properly.

If anyones fitted one, what make was it?

Contacted Subaru UK, even they couldn't tell me!!

ive used a mama's and papa's prima viaggio 0+ car seat, Ive used it in about 6 different cars including my firiends classic wagon, it fitted ok with the seat forward a bit. have you tried this one ??. I didnt get the graco one because i had such a problem fitting it so I know what you are going through.

I have a bebe confort elios in my Forester. Find a local specialist and they will do a test fit.

I've tried the mamas & papas seat and they reckon it doesn't fit properly?

hmm are the rb5 seats bucket seats in the back ??. is there a hole where the arse normally goes ??. if so you are going to have a problem. Porsche 911's are awful. but I know someone who managed to get the britax in eventually.

I would recomend going somewhere like kiddicar in peterborough they have loads of car seats and have trained people there to fit them,

I tried about 10 different seats when i went fo the forward facing ones to make sure the one i got fitted the best.

just dont go on a weekend as its murder.

i also got a britax one from halfruds, the huge one from 6months to about 3 years.
it fits alright but nearly touching the roof!

oh it was on offer for 99.99 when i got it.

Recaro make a special one for the Subaru, but if my memory serves me correctly it's mega money,

The Maxi-Cosy Priori fits perfectly mate. (about £100)

Another vote for the Maxi-Cosy Priori here.
