Hello to everyone, I'm new here and I'm really in a desperate situation as I stated below. Sorry it took so long
Do you have any information on whether I could use a convertible car seat for a Reanult Megane HB. I live in Turkey, and there are no convertible seats here and no one can answer my question, which is a shame I believe. I want my child to sit rear facing as long as possible. I have mailed nearly all convertible seat manufacturers to ask about the compatibility, very few returned saying ask to your car's manufacturer. I also mailed to Renault a week ago, they haven't returned yet. Britax doesn't recommend rear facing position for its seats in a Megane, they haven't stated why (Also send a mail to them asking why, and also haven't returned). Dorel UK send me an e-mail saying they can't help for convertible seats are designed only for US usage, why there is such a difference between US and other countries, anyone knows the answer please tell me. In short, do you have any idea whether I can use Maxi Cosi Priori Convertible seat in my car or not? Thank you for help.

PS: This is a great forum actually, it helps a lot, thank you all for sharing your knowledge.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.
