I know once the car seat is in it will be staying in, so taking it out and putting it in daily wont be an issue, just obviously he still requires help getting into his seat each time we go somewhere.
I know they make every 1 series in a 5 door model, but for me, despite it being a nice car still, it just isn't as 'sleek' as the 3 door. I've opted for practicality over style with everything for the last 2 years now, so unless the 3 door just isn't liveable with a young child then I won't be opting for the 5 door model. Just wanted to see what people have to say first.

Been there done that! You got kids, say goodbye to a two door vehicle! Just not practical. You will be a lot happier in the medium term with the 5 door.
