Re: Baby seat questions

I had this problem when getting a seat for my little boy, the rear seat base is narrow, i went for a britax prince in the end its for narrow seats and fits perfectly in the back and still fits him now he is 2. Its belted but easy to remove and refit.

Re: Electric seats wiring diagram

Think its worth chucking a flush in on first service, could be swarf. Mines ...
