Recaro Start is your best bet, I used one in mine until I found a genuine TVR seat in magnolia on the bay of e.

The Jane Montecarlo R1 fits too. I've got 2 of them, but we've just got a Bubblebum for the eldest child who's now 4 and she's got much more space. You've still got to do something with that bloody seatbelt mount at head-height though. The R1s are good seats nevertheless for 9kg upwards.

So what ages do these seats cover , is it bad to put a new born in a cerbera ? Does anyone worry about the level of sound ? My Cerb , I am pleased to say , is one of the loudest things on the road .

This right? How do you know if it fits in a Cerb ?

New born has to be in a rear facing baby seat. (Lack of ability to control head muscle wise) that's why in any car a baby goes in the front passenger seat rear facing with airbags de activated. Normally this seat just clips into your buggy.

Yes but not in the front seat - that's a last resort only for cars with insufficient rear space! In any normal family car the Stage 1 rear facing seats go in the rear.

OP - you can pretty much forget any chance of getting a rear facing Stage 1 seat in a Cerbera unless you're taking the baby out on your own or your partner is very small and happy/able to travel in the back. Stage 2 seats (9kg upwards) is no problem though.

So if u bought the recaro car seat , did u buy the travel system so that u could attach the pram ? If so is it any good ?

[jamieduff1981]

Can't speak for Recaro, but in general the travel systems are fairly handy (we had Britax). The buggy chassis tend to be rather large though, hence the whole set up is kinda geared towards a fullsize family car.

Yes, sorry all our cars are sports cars

I can say in 2010 range mamas and papas seats the Atom seat is the narrowest. (With urbo system pushchair being smallest too) I reckon the pushchair will fit in a cerb boot, I can check for you If you like) We fitted it in type r recaros between the high bolsters and it fitted in corbaru sprints standard width.

Thanks for the input , just had a maxi cosi tested out in my Cerb , yes had to go on front seat backwards and yes my lady would have to go in the back , unfortunate , can't see any long road trips ahead but at least I can get all 3 in at once and won't be forced to either sell or even worse get a "normal car " , so I see now the seat I saw in the garage the other day must've been for an older child , not sure it was entirely legally fitted either, any way more hurdles to negotiate for the future .
