Best Fitting Child Booster Seat for M4?

I need recommendations for which booster (not baby) seat is best for the M4 in terms of ease of install/removal, fitting, easy buckling, and comfort.

Let me start this off:
Clek Ozzi booster seat does not works well for the M4 because tough for me or my toddler to buckle up. But it works well for my wife Mercedes CLA250.

Which one do you recommend?

It's been years since I've used these but I don't remember buckling being an issue.

Peg Perego which uses the latch system so the booster does not go flying around.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

Admittedly, it is hard to buckle as the seat belt latch on the M4 goes into the seat, so I got one of these too.

Works great!

Thanks sooo much! Can you update the link to the seat belt extender? The Amazon link didn't work.

You are correct the link doesn't work anymore. Just search for this somewhere. There are other sites as well not on Amazon that sell these. Just make sure they fit the back seat as some are designed specifically for the front seat.

I have the F83 and uses the Britax Parkway SGL as high back boosters for reference. http://www.britax.ca/car-seats/parkway-sgl

Fit is great, right between the boosters. Install/removal are easy for me because I can lower the rear window so the b-pillar disappears. Without that, u'd have to move the front seat forward and tilt for removal. One of the buckles is more recessed so sometimes it is a little difficult to push in. My son got used to it tho. The other thing is if you loop the seatbelt thr the head-booster, sometimes the belt is difficult to extend. I think this will be the case for all high boosters.

So M3 leases are done. Considering M4. Wife needs proof that rear and front can work in M4. Why are there minimal pictures in this thread?

Took the kids out for their first ride in the new vert. 4yr old is in a Maxi Cosi Pria 70 and 5yr old is in a Maxi Cosi Pria 85. A little more legroom for them than my 135 vert. Need to figure out something for kick mats on the seats.

As a follow up to my post, M4 has ample space for two car seats. For some reasons, seems to have more space than M3.

No you can't do anything like you are suggesting with any modicum of safety.
That said, I have my kids in the back of my M4 in booster seats all the time.

But my M4 is not my daily, and my wife has a Lexus GX so kids in the M is not a necessity

Here you can see how much space we have. Keep in mind the f82 with carbon fiber roof has more headroom than non carbon fiber or f83.

One thing to keep in mind is that most of these pictures are forward facing car seats. It gets a little more challenging for the first two years if you are rearward facing the car seat.

yea when i needed the rear facing we used the wrangler. But if contemplating between f80/f82...f80 will obviously be the better choice. Unless you are really flexible or get an f83 and drop the top to place your baby in the seat lol

Top tether missing in M4 convertible?

Sorry about bumping this old thread, but I just got 2 Britax booster seats to go in my '15 M4 convertible and can't find the top tethers to hook into. The owners manual says they should be in the middle of the seat backs but there is no hole, and if I fold the seat back down, all I see are two plastic covers that pop off but there's nothing underneath them.

Hi i hope it's ok I'm resurrecting an old thread rather than opening a new thread.
Does anyone know can you fit a baby stroller (vista or similar) in a M4 convertible??
Thanks
