Baby seats
 

I'm having to give the wee nipper a few trips in the ZS now and wondered if anyone has any experience of using baby seats on here in their ZS?

I currently have a rear facing seat and it's a right pain in the arse to fit and doesn't sit right with the poor girl being very upright because of the locking position of the handle and the seat belts seem really short.

I've ordered a front facing now but just wondered if anyone else has any experiences, problems, etc?

Sorry but this made me laugh, I actually bought my ZS when my kids grew up! Therefore I am of no use to you at all! :D

:joker: and I bought the ZS because I now have a kid!

I've used both rear and forward facing car seats with no issues

Interesting. The belts just seem really short and stop the rear facing seat I have sitting as it should so it's much more upright.

I'm tempted to weld on some bars for my own home-brew isofix...but then again do I really want to risk my little one...but then again is she at risk anyway with the seat not sitting right....hmm.

We had our boy in this, when he was from 8 months to 4 years and used this in the previous Mk1 Focus, Rover 75, Mk2 MG ZS180, got stored in the loft for 8 years and then our new baby (he's 18month now) in the Vauxhall Astra Mk5, and sometimes in my Mk2 Focus ST

I've used both with no issues :)

Just stick 'em in the boot.

Lol, she's quite a bit smaller than them so would probably rattle around a lot!

Thats fine, until you slam the boot down and realise that one of their heads is directly in the path of the left hand boot hinge, which is now embedded in your childs brain ;)

We use Britax Evolva 1-2-3 for our two, they both fit in fine but when we had the rear facing for the first few months I did find the seatblets could have done with a bit more length to make it easier to belt in.

Thanks Maxfly.

The new forward facing seat arrived yesterday and I got to use it this morning, fitted fine and she seemed happy to be able to see me and listen to my awful singing. The belt was only just long enough to fit though, I guess that's a good thing but it does seem strange.

The isofix in the missus's car is soooo much easier!
