My littl'uns just about outgrown his baby seat now so I'm looking for a front-facing seat to go into the backso it can stay there semi-permanently.

I'm looking for one of those ones that will last until he's about 4yrs old (he's just turned 8months atm).

Seems that E30's weren't really designed with baby seats in mind. Anyone got any recommendations? My budget is up to about Ԛ£100.

Cheers

My E30 isn't the main kid-carrier, but the following seats (usually found in my wifes Saab) do fit without difficulty.

Britax Renaissance - useful until about 4 yrs
Recaro Start - adjustable enough to fit until about 12 yrs, although
how you persuade a 12yr-old to use a kids seat is another matter.

Unfortunately these both cost rather more than Ԛ£100 tho.

I've got two car seats in the back of my Touring - one for up to age 2-3 and one for up to 5 or 6 i think. Both were relatively cheap (under Ԛ£50) and came from Mothercare if i remember correctly. The bigger one (nearest in the photo below) is by Graco and the smaller is Mothercare's own make.

Only problem is, i now have 3 kids and there's no way i'd get 3 kids seats across the back.
