INTEGRATED CHILD BOOSTER SEATS - WHICH SUVs have these?

[nicdigby]

Hi, I'm in the UK and I have a Volvo XC60 which has integrated car seat boosters for my ten year olds and the boosters are terrific - I press a button and the boosters come up from the main seat, and then when I need to put adults in the car, I press a button and the boosters fold away. NB - I DO NOT MEAN ISOFIX POINTS!!!! I mean the whole booster seat is intregated into the body of the seat and comes up and down with the press of a button.

I have to change the VX60 (motability scheme) but there is not a Volvo SUV on the scheme anymore that offers this function. I have looked at a few other brands but can't find one - can anyone help please?

Many thanks for any help.

We have integrated boosters in the VW caravelle (manual with a click) so presume are available across VW range

I haven’t looked at the XC60, but integrated boosters are part of the ‘family pack’ option on the V90 and XC90.

Yes, Alhambra is great for this.

As above, the boosters in your current XC60 were not standard model figment but part of the family pack that also included the rear door look and window interlock switch on the drivers door.

Have to agree that the boosters are a great feature on the old XC60 so I would be surprised if Volvo don’t offer the same thing as a factory fit option on the new models?

They are rather clever, up there with the integrated child seat the used to pop out the rear centre armrest on the old 850 and such like. My 2004 V70 has said pop up booster seats as part of the family pack on it and 8yr nephew thinks they're brilliant.

Thanks for these replies. Unfortunately I need an SUV due to seat height needs, and the only Volvo SUV on the motability scheme now is the VX40 which doesn’t have a family pack option.

Does anyone know for sure of any SUVs other than the above that have this feature pls?

Have you called and asked Motability? They may know.

[nicdigby]

Yes I have and no they don’t

I’m surprised, they’re normally spot on with stuff like that.
