| Car seat - help!
Does anyone know of a car seat that will fit into my Vauxhall Tigra? We have bought a Maxi Cosi seat and base, but it just wont fit - front or back seats. I have contacted Vauxhall and they can only tell me which seat will fit a 2004 model onwards??? I have been to Toys R Us but they said my car has bucket seats and none will fit (not exactly what the said when they sold us the Quinny Buzz and Maxi Cosi car seat!!!!) |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think halfords will be your best bet as they seem to be the authority on car seats these days so your bound to find someone there who knows, good luck!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | ahhh, yes if you have bucket seats in your car you are not likely to find any to fit being they are not designed for bucket seats. :S |

I'm Currently Feeling: | seats that try and eat you!lol, basically the sides come out more so that they like curl around you so you cant move as much (and dont bother trying to get out of them you have to fall out!), you only really get them in sports or modified cars. little racers like them  |

| Bucket seats - its the standard seat fitted in sports cars, they tend to be contoured so you sit deeper in the seat. They are very comfy but unless you are a rally driver they dont really have any practical purpose. |
