Landmark day

[WhyTwo]

Took my 18 month out in the Tuscan for his maiden TVR journey on Saturday - he loved it! Sun shinning, roof off, wind in his hair, those CCC's popping and crackling, him smilling his head off, perfect! and there's something incredibly satisfying about parking a gleaming Tuscan in the parent and toddler spaces at the supermarket

This does however present a significant problem as his 3 1/2 year old brother also loves 'Daddy's noisy sportscar'.

What do I do? I love my tuscan and have sorted a lot of little niggles so it's running really well these days. Should I change the Tuscan for a Cerbera? I know I'll miss being able to take the roof off but I need a four seater and I can't think of anything other than a Cerbera.

Any suggestions? Does anyone else have the same problem? How do you manage it?

Buy a Tuscan for your other half then take both cars and both kids to places

Definitely time to buy a Cerbera as well..

Then you have the best of both worlds. A 4 seater to take to the shops and the Tuscan for the roof off occasions..

I had twin boys so sold the Tuscan and have a Cerbera, kids LOVE IT, and your right parking a Cerbera in the parent and todler bays draws a few looks!!

Hi George. That's a sweet looking Cerb you have there. Do you get any time to drive it with all the mods/upgrades you've done

So the child seats fit in the back and they're not just for show like in a TT. Is it easy to get the ankle biters in and out?

I'm pretty resgined to having to part with the Tuscan and beginning my search for a Cerb, I can think of worse things to be doing none really taking my fancy at the mo but I'm not in a hurry so will take my time and wait for the right one to turn up

Thanks for the comments on my Cerb, I did most of the upgrades over the winter when the car was off the road ,there was WAY to much snow up here for the Cerb this year!!.

The Cerb has big doors and when open they allow real good access to the rear so there is no problem getting the kids in and out just fold the front seat backs forward and getting them in out is easy The seat belts in the back connect from the middle of the car to the outside of the rear seats which again is easier than stretching accross the kids and fastening in the middle.
If no one is in the front passenger seat you can push the front seat forward for more room in the back for who ever is behind the passenger seat.

I normally have a kid in the front passenger seat, and a kid behind it means I can see both of them when driving and I can get them both out of the same side of the car normally the pavement side which is safer as they can't step out onto traffic. My wife doesn't come in the car that much with us but both kids go in the back if she does and they seem comfortable enough, they certainly haven't complained and they are 7 now so not tiny anymore.
