scorrado123 10 Posted September 10, 2012 Hi all, Just wondering what recommendations you might have when it comes to baby seats? We have a 3 month old and the car seat we use in the Golf (Mamas and Papas) seemed to be sliding a bit upright when I tried it in the front seat (leather) of the VR6 (rear facing). Any recommendations for position of the seat and also any particular seat?? Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted September 10, 2012 Our wee boy is 6 months and I fit his seat (maxi cosi) in the front no problem, however there is no way it would go in the back :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it move on the leather at all? And I take it rear facing?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted September 10, 2012 Sits fine on the leather, and once the seatbelt is secure, there is no sliding, only got him in with me just now as the missus is changing cars and we're waiting on a number plate swap for her new toy , then it's car seat no more for the Corrado :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like I might have to have a play with a maxi cosi! Do you know what the model name of the seat is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not got a clue of name or model, what i'll do is get the info tomorrow and a wee pic to let you see how it sits, before you go buying anything :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted September 10, 2012 We bought the Maxi Cosi Tobi as my partner had read that it was one of the safest seats at the time of buying. I remember fitting it in the back of the Corrado as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted September 10, 2012 I tried the seat we have in the back, but because of the way the rear bench slopes back, the wee man was hanging out :lol: , possibly because it was rear facing, as i'm sure a forward facing seat would have been fine. Either that or i'm just rubbish at fitting it in :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted September 11, 2012 Had 3 Maxi Cosis in mine. All fit no problem in the rear bench. http://www.maxi-cosi.com/ie-en/products/car-seats/baby/cabriofix.aspx http://www.maxi-cosi.com/ie-en/products/car-seats/toddler/priori-xp.aspx http://www.maxi-cosi.com/ie-en/products/car-seats/child/rodi-airprotect.aspx Never had a problem with the two (4 and 18 months) in the back at the same time! Proves the C can be a family car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorrado123 10 Posted September 12, 2012 I had another go with our seat yesterday eve (which is a mamas and papas primo viaggo ip). After reading around I tried it with a towel underneath which has the double benefit of keeping the seat more firmly positioned as well as protecting the leather. Front seat rear facing with the seat all the way back and a good degree of recline. (No one will get in behind!) The whole thing seemed a lot better positioned :smug: but sadly I wasnt able to get it out for a spin with the little one in it but will hopefully do so in the next couple of days!
