Thanks Altransit and Wadey
I used Gumtree so that I could have a trial fit in the van before purchase
I’ve seen some advice on websites not to use second hand child car seats , but I think that’s promoted by child seat manufacturers
I eventually bought one owned by Grandparents that had had very little use, it’s a Maxi Cosi Tobi and it sits on the middle seat strapped in with the seatbelt. It’s easy to lift in and out and to secure it, she loves the high position in the front. It’s a bit cosy with 3 of us and the chair in the front but it works well, I’ve bought “stiff” seat belt extenders for myself and the passenger because it was a bit tight to find the seatbelt “socket” when the child seat was fitted
