Newborn/Baby Car Seat Recommendations

Hello!

Rather than get my post lost in the mix in the general forums, I thought I'd ask my fellow Nashvillians - does anyone have any recommendations for car seats, namely newborn/infant/baby that fits well into a Mini Cooper? Ideally one of those car seats that I can just remove and fit into a stroller that will fit nicely into either the trunk or when one of the back seats is folded down.

In a perfect world, I'd get a Clubman but I can't afford the expense and would love to keep my Mini for a few more years.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Mrs. Tune

I'd love to offer up some advice here but one of the reasons I bought my MINI was because all my kiddies were grown and I didn't need the room of a four-door any more.

Well, I don't really know if this is a good car seat, but it's made by Recaro. That's enough for my recommendation .

We just moved out of our Chicco Keyfit into a Britax Marathon. I am short (5'4") so my son sits behind me, rear-facing, with no problems.

We used a Graco stroller frame early on with the Keyfit. We also have used a Combi Cosmo EX. Both fit in the rear of my R53. The Combi required me to move the cover over the boot and hook the handle over the headrest.
