Front facing car seat worthy of the M2

2000Z3M · 04-09-2016, 10:32 AM

My son will not get to enjoy the M2 until he is 2 since I don't want to deal with rear facing, but luckily it will only be for a few months.

Right now we have a recaro proride in the sorento, but it's huge and a very tight fit when front facing in a M235.

Where do you live?
When our little one was in a group 2 seat, we had a Römer Safefix Plus and a Römer King Plus. Both fit in the 1-series cabrio (my daily) and in the Mr's Z4M roadster when necessary. I remember looking through the carseat.org forums for tips when we were shopping for seats.

I thought they only had to be 1 and a certain weight to be in forward facing seat?

Rear facing is roughly 5x safer in the event of a crash. This has been proven over and over. Keeping them rear facing as long as possible is the safest way to go. Don't rush front facing, even though it does make life easier.

They are saying at least 2 now and the older the better before front facing

Rear facing will easily fit into the rear of the M2.

Go shopping and ask the sales person to bring a few out to the car park and give them a go.
