Alright guys im gonna be a dad for the first time in a few months and im having trouble finding a rear facing car seat to fit in the escort, the seat belt just doesnt want to go round the back of the seat.

So i was just wondering what anyone else has done in regards to baby seats??

Any help, tips and advice is appreciated.

cant you put the baby in the front?

this one fastens in front facing but is suitable from birth, but very pricey!

your other option is to get one with an isofix base if possible, as this will also not use much seatbelt up, theyre probably your best bet

tried front and rear seats mate and its having none of it

and really i want a rear facing seat to support the babys head etc, there isnt many newborn front facing seats out there, and if there is they are fany things like the one you have suggested and are really pricey.
thanks for the info tho

not too sure whether its legal for use on a childs seat but you can get seat belt extensions which will cure your prob of getting the belt round the seat.

i would check the legallity of it first but they should be perfectly safe to use.
