*Possibly* need advice-- carseats in a small convertible

I'm not sure yet whether this will be a need or not, but I want to be prepared.

What seats would you recommend, for use in a small convertible such as a Mini Cooper, Audi A5, BMW 128, etc., for a seven-and-a-half-year-old who is tall but slender, and a five-and-a-half-year-old who is on the smaller side?

This would not be a "full-time" vehicle by any means. The five-year-old is still harnessed, but the parents are open to a high-back booster for this vehicle. The seven-year-old is boostered.

Would two Graco Nautiluses, one in harnessed mode and one in boostered mode, fit in most small convertibles?

I'd go dedicated booster and a nauti if that'd what they want (ie to harness) otherwise 2 dedicated boosters would be fine. I'm thinking turbos, or any of the other common boosters would be fine.

Thanks!

I've been a passenger in the Mini on several occasions, but can't remember if the seats are "typical" or not in the back seat. :eek:

Thanks!

What about an Evenflo SureRide for the 5 year old? I'm thinking about overhang with the nauti in a Mini. I would also just do a booster for the 7 year old.
