I'd like to find a booster for the backseat of my wife's Mini Cooper S convertible. Our Britax Parkway SGL is too wide at the back and does not fit in-between the bolsters of the leather seats. The Parkway's a great seat; it just doesn't fit and I'm not ruining the hideously overpriced seats with it. Besides it fits in my Jeep just fine.
I want one that includes LATCH-compatible straps so the seat will stay in place when not in use. I'd also like one that's actually comfortable. Some of the entry level ones are just horrible to sit on for any length of time. Then there's the ones that are half-ssed chop-jobs from a larger model that leave an uncomfortable gap at the back where the top would be attached. Neither my wife nor I are short folks, so a seat with a decent length would be nice. Some carseats have a rather short seat leaving the backs of the legs with less support.
Anyway, slogging through all the seats is an adventure. At this point I'm leaning toward a Recaro. But I'm open to alternatives if anyone KNOWS of a seat that WILL FIT in the Mini's back seat.
