CSL and baby seats?..

ZKMI · 12-03-2015, 04:10 PM

Hi guys,

Can the csl do the occasional school or nursery run?

My Kids are 5yrs old and 3yrs old.

Just wondering if any members here let their other half use the car as well for this occasional purpose or any other reason...?

Thanks.

My 5 year old lad has been out in the front seat of mine. I had to use my Porsche kiddy seat though as the base to was too wide on our standard seats. I haven't tried him in the back yet.

I didn't think the front seats were compatible, or doesn't have the airbag off control?

But the rears are isofix and good size so most seats fit. Need to put something like a towel underneath the child seats to protect the areas where they might rub on the grey painted surfaces. Biggest problem is stopping kids kicking the back of the front seat as it will mark and scratch.

My wife wouldn't want to drive it and complains it's uncomfortable, so no problems there as she just stays at home.

Thanks.

The front seats I assume are fixed so no recline option?

However there is an anomaly, if you disconnect the passenger air-bag or have it disconnected, then the adult passenger is no longer protected, should you have an accident - your stuffed!

The car is no longer as per manufactured, an unauthorised modification has been carried out. Conclusion children go in the back for everyone's safety.

Lol!

Yeah, have fitted 3 different types of child seat in my CSL. Bulkier child seats are a pain and cannot pass behind the front seats but can be fitted by passing them through the boot with the rear seat backs folded for access. I always fit a seat protector or sheet when using a child seat.

I have also stuck several different types of car seat in the back, all fit fine.

To get the bulkier ones into the back I put one front seat forward and one back, and then the car seat will fit through the gap between the front seats!

Would recommend a full seat protector...
