Does anybody have any experience with a baby seat in the back of a Mini? Surprisingly, my wife isn't concerned about this as long as we have enough room in our primary vehicle. I don't really want a Clubman or Countryman, so it will be a Cooper Hardtop, or something else entirely. Any advice?
There is plenty of room back there for kids in an MCS.
The fun part will be getting them in there and buckling them in peroperly until they grow up big enough to climb and buckle in by themselves. Mine go there by around time they were 2 (IIRC), but until then, it would have been a pain to do that with a 2-door car.

My 2 year old son was screaming on the test drive, he couldn't move his legs. I can put him kitty corner on the other side and it's ok.
