Sounds like most of you have ordered from o/s to get the isofix seats (which looks a lot more sensible than the Australian system). But the missus is keen to get an ADR compliant seat and I'd just prefer to buy from a shop in Australia.

Any ideas which ones fits properly on the skinny back seats of the 135?
Best thing to do is go down to the local Babyland or whatever and try out all the seats they have. Our kids are nearly out of the booster seats but they started in the Safe n Sound Royal Retractors which convert from rear-facing capsule to front facing seat up when required. It'll be a tight fit whatever happens especially a rear-facing capsule in a two-door as you have to lift the baby over the straps anchored to the rear parcel shelf.

I guess there's a reason why the old four-door is the family choice.
