Hello (take 2)

Hi all
I have a 90" which I have owned for approx 6 years in which we have had many adventures and hope to continue to have many more.

This year I had a baby which, in terms of my 90, is very inconvenient as it curerntly means my passenger has to sit in the back in the side-facing seats.

I hoping to take out the cubby box in the front and re-fit the middle seat with a 3 point harness so that babs can sit in the middle with 2 adults in the front - is this possible/legal does anyone know.

We have looked into putting forward facing seats in the back but not ecomomical money or space wise for camping gear and 2x dogs

thanks

I dont think it's actually illegal ................however.
A baby seat has to go rear facing untill they reach a certain weight if I recall correctly. So putting a rear facing baby seat next to you may prove awkward to say the leaast to change gear.
So I suppose baby seat could go in passenger seat.
I've not heard of anyone fitting a centre seat with a three point harness but then again it may be possible.
My son does sometimes sit in the back, but only ever on short and thirty mph zone trips. Never on A road, motorway, dual carriage way or off road.

If you dont have another vehicle I would say fit a forward facing seat in the back and get rid of the dogs......

Bit harsh but you have to choose which is more important to you? Your baby or your Dogs?

Fortunatly babs is big enough now to go forward facing which is why we considered centre seat, didn't consider it b4 as I wouldn't be able to reach the gear stick when he was rearward facing.

If it came to splitting the "family" up I'm afraid Pinky (the truck) would have to go despite it feeling like I'm cutting my arms off and a disco would be the car of choice (not a bad choice, but still...). Hence the need to explore every avenue possible before this happens

Yeah not a nice dilema but Disco is preferable to those who cannot be named

or a 110 csw would work.

Had the same problem recently but got a 110 instead so the little one could go in the back. The centre seat is not full size and would probably cause issues with a child seat fitted on top. I have recently taken mine out and fitted a cubby box since it was no use.

Would love a 110, would solve all problems whilst still maintaining the lovely basic feel that the disco's lose. Unfortunately 110 are hard to get hold of at reasonable prices.

(Shame you can't buy the ones that were scrapped under the government scheme and put them back on the road such a waste, but I diverse!)
