    Hi folks I'm a new member so please be gentle!. I am UK based and am the proud owner of a 2002 456 GTM. Before I bought the car I did some research & was told by a few people that getting a child seat for the car shouldn't be much of a drama. However, having taken it to one or two mainstream suppliers (Mothercare, Halfords), I'm now getting a different story, as nothing seems to fit. I'm sure that there must be other 456 owners out there who have had similar problems & have found something to fit, so I could really use your help & advice. I have a 20 month old daughter and another one on the way, so I'd be grateful for your comments.

    ps.the 456 is not registered on either Maxicosi or Britax databases...not an encouraging start!

    I have the Combi Connection LX in a Maserati Coupe. My son is only 6 months so he is still rear facing so that takes even more room. Once he is forward facing it will make it even better.
    Here is a pic of the one I have, I am sure you will have to go up a size but it should not be a big problem.

    Try these guys:

    I went to see them about 3 years ago for my Ferrari and they told me they had already done a few 456s. They will be able to recommend which seat to fit.

    BTW Im guessing yours is the Amari car?

    cheers for your comments so far. Actually, it isn't the Amari car, although I did have a test drive & got close to buying. Really wanted a manualy though, so got one via Rardley in Surrey.

    I can second the Combi Connection for a rear facing.

    Had it in my Maser CC and 575
