Hi Keith,
£14,500, 31,500 miles, it's a 14 plate. Based in Chesterfield. Full details here http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201703193444298
They have legs that bend at the knees, they don't need to stretch their legs out like a creaky middle-aged adult does. Most kids will happily sleep in that kneeling, bum in the air position so a couple of hours in the car with their legs bent is no drama at all.Obviously reconsider if they seem genuinely uncomfortable but don't rush to turn them forwards just because they look a little cramped.
This. Ours never complained about lack of leg room (Besafe Izi, not exactly a small seat). The seat designs tend to be scalloped anyway which promotes a bent leg.
i can barely get my 4 year old to sit still in a forward facing car seat, using jubilee clips, bungee cords and duct tape, he'd have a field day in a rear facing seat
I found it easier to get her into the rear facing seat. Remember in a rear facing seat they are still restrained by a 5 point harness which makes containing the little wriggler much easier.
[I]Rear travel is proven ot be safer, and not just in child seats (its safer in planes as well but the passengers don't tend to like it).[/I]
I know that, and pretty much always choose rear-facing when I can (BA sleepbeds, window seat 🙂 }, but these have leg room, whereas a reward facing car seat on a forward facing seat doesn't. Which is why I was asking how the kids managed.
Just checked the britax website. They say an erf seat with a leg can only go in the middle position of an smax. So no go for practical purposes.
Our 3008 explicitly states in the manual you cannot use the middle position for a support leg, despite there being no storage bin there.
The car buyer list is only new cars, we're looking second hand
Edit: thanks Jeff but over our budget.
I have an x-trail and could get a baby seat a toddler seat and a high backed booster across the back and 2 medium children in the boot. I only use one Iso-fix seat, defiantly no need to one with a booster type seat.
No need for an mpv, but they do fit more bikes in.
