Anyone got an astra?

Just wondering if anyone has a vauxhall astra (slightly older model, 98-2004) and what car seat you have? this car is terrible for buckle crunch! wish i knew this before i bought it!

Zoey, Buckle crunch only really effects group 1 seats. Basically it is when the seat belt buckle is too long and ends up squashed against the seat where the belt feeds through. In an accident the weight of the seat can open the buckle, meaning that the car seat isn't secured in the car.

We had an Astra up until about 6 months ago when we changed to a Picasso and we always used a Britax with Abigail & had no problems x
I tried the concord ultimax but got buckle crunch.
I'm mainly just nosy lol! My hubby said that i was wrong that britax seats were the only ones that fit so it looks like im still winning this arguement!
