I need 2 boosters no wider than 36cm wide at the widest part. Trouble is looked through all the websites and the only ones listing dimensions are 40cm plus!

Can anyone with a slim line booster - recently purchased or still being sold let me know where I can buy from please please? I promise I am not taking a shortcut here - have been on the net for 2 hours now going through almost every website I can think of.

Thanks debs

I had the same problem as you in my last car. I bought this off ebay. It's definately slim enought 35cm and cheap and the only one I could fine too! The downside is that it's polystyrene under the cover, so not the best quality in the world!

I'm not sure why you are worrying about asking a question? Sharing our knowledge is what we are all here for!

I usually ask on here first... then go off and have a look around.

I'd be tempted to go to Halfords / Mothercare World / Toys R us etc with a tape measure :D

The last one I bought was from Tesco and this seems to be thinner and less bulky than my others. Not sure of make, but it is black and red.

I've bought 4 of these.

They are polysterene with a cover on so are light. They measure about 35 cm wide.

Good value at a fiver.

ooooh! Same as the ones I found on ebay, but nicer! And in a shop, so no delivery charge! AND with a discount for buying two!

Beats me hands down!:thumbsup:

Can you buy on line from Halfods or mail order?

If you were interested in the Halfords ones, but can't get to a store, then why don't you just get the ones off ebay as I posted above? They are the same, just a different colour!

Tesco do one of the polystyrene one for a fiver too, yucky colours, but they will fit:)

I use these got mine from tesco direct and got club card points in the process :) although I do worry they are quite flimsy looking and basic but they do the job and to be honest my son's high back booster cost £40 second hand and is still only polystyrene :rolleyes: covers come off a treat so bung them in the washing machine :clapping:
