Booster seats!!!

[dulcinea]

Thinking about taking the plunge with an Exige S as a weekend car but would like to be able to take the kids out (one at a time before any sarky comments!!). Anyone had experience of putting booster seats in? Do I need to shell out for a special one or do most fit?

I've had the bin-lids in mine on a standard booster seat with no problem, the car seats are a little more angled/recessed and narrower than normal seats but nothing that interfered with the few booster seats I had. The 5yr old can still hardly see out of the front though but the 7yr old loves it!

I got one of these, but was for Wife! - The booster cushon is for short Adult types rather than a kiddy winks, not sure you'd get away with it.

My kids booster doesn't really fit.
Too wide to get in the seat.
I'm going to buy a cheap polystyrene one off ebay and cut to make it narrower.

Normal booster seat in mine from Halfords , no problems .

Maxi Cosi Rodi (£50 from Halfords) has done the trick. 4 year old can see through the screen as well.

Hi

I have a Europa S and the thing that I am slightly concerned about it the air bag. The Lotus handbood suggests never carry a child (forwards or rear facing) in the front seat, I guess due to the concerns on airbag. The government web site seems to suggest that a child can be carried with a booster seat (forwards facing) even if there is an air bag but the seat needs to be as far back as possible. I must admit I would be happier if I could turn the airbag off, has anyone found out how to do this? I have two 6 year olds who are pestering me to go for a drive!

cheers

Not sure if you can turn them of in a Lotus....
I can assure you that airbags are a bad thing for children full stop.
