Some do, some don't.

We had a Maxi-Cosi one that slotted into an Easi-Fix base. It was expensive, but it made putting the baby+seat in and out of the car much easier as you didn't have to mess around with the seatbelt every time.

I use daily 9 to 36kg designed baby-seat (like that (clicky), but with 9-15kg option which adds 5-point racing look belts) on my Puma, in front - face facing forward, seat as far back as it can go and in back seat (h*** lot of work get 11kg kid on to it). Both ways fits well. I have face facing back baby seat also, and as far as I can see it will fit to back seat well - no airbag disabling possibility - no way to front seat then. It has an base which is placed "permanently" to belts.

Every day I drive our 19 month old kid to kindegarden with our Puma. So it's baby compatible car. wink.gif

We will also be looking at baby seats soon, but I had read that it's virtually impossible to get one that fits the Puma - so I'm glad to have found this post cool.gif

That said, I don't hold much help for getting a big pushchair in the boot sleep.gif

Only if you have face facing forward type chair (+9 kg, +10 month old) and flip backseat down... then it will fit. But then Kat is only driver + kid, 2 seater. wink.gif

We have (2 adult + 19 month kid) once tested to go and do weekly food shopping in one on Puma, all three in car and bags on the boot - fits, but kid on backseat isn't easiest to put in... I'm not the tallest one (~170cm) and even I got few hits to my head when putting belts on...

Umbrella folding pushchairs are a nightmare to fit in but the ones that fold flat fit in fine. Ive got a Quinny Buzz and that fits in snug!

it depends how old your child is as to the shape of the childseat 0-9 month carriers are no problem with or without clicky base but some seats in the next range up are a nightmare but then once you get into the booster seat range from roughly 21/2 years plus its plain sailing. biggrin.gif

not on the older shape tigras the tigras are more of a plastic bench with 2 cushioned pads on it whereas pumas are pretty much 2 moulded bucket seats stuck together a lot like the old shape celicas. hope this helps

Hi, only took ownership of my puma last weekend biggrin.gif .
My son's seat fits in perfectly - it's the next one after the baby seat and is a maxi cosi.

Enjoy!

Charlotte has fitted a pushchair in the boot that fits her two childred. From memory it is a bill and ted inline tandom affair. Try a search for posts by member Charlotte and +baby +seat or try pushchair
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

Hi, I had a Graco Autobaby with in car base in the back. The bases are brilliant as you just click to car seat onto it, no fiddling with the seat belt. Just check the belt on the base from time to tiem like you would do with any car seat. I found it easier to put the car seat in from the drivers side (base in nearside back). I know this seems odd but the drivers seat has more leeway and allows more room to get the seat in and onto the base (The Graco one is quite high at the front)

For the Group 1 seat I have a Maxi Cosi Tobi. Its a fantastic seat and rock solid in the car, due I think to the tensioners on the seat

http://www.twoleftfeet.co.uk/acatalog/Maxi..._Tobi_2008.html

Dont buy from Two Left Feet tho

Ive had major problems with pushchairs but now have a Bugaboo Bee.........it seems made for the Puma and still lets me get loads of shopping in

http://www.mothercare.com/gp/product/B000X...31&mcb=core

The Maxi Cosi car seat will firt on the Bee as well
