Anyone made these yet?

[DAVEY DEE]

Does anyone know of,or has anyone made any sort of covers for the front seatbelt mounting.The ones which your kids,if they're like mine bang their heads on when in the back.

The point does come up regularly on the "are Cerbs child friendly" threads so I would imagine that if someone managed to fabricate something it would sell.

So can anyone point me in the right direction? Or if they don't currently exist would any of you magical engineering type people fancy giving it a go? If you do put me top of the list! Would anyone else be interested?

Failing that I'll make him wear a helmet!

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has come up with something, I have the same problem when cornering as the seat belt mounting does make contact with their heads. Not nice for them, alhough they are aware of it now so tend to counter lean which helps.

I think MikeinSheffield was looking into this, i haven't heard from him in a while so not sure how much progress he made.

[WhyTwo]

I'd be interested in these as well

[Tyre Smoke]

Me too.

"Daddy! You made me bang my head again!"

All too common an occurrence.

You've lost me. What's stupid about my comment?

[FUBAR]

Nothing, it was a jokey way of saying what you where saying. Just need to find that 'woosh parrot over head' smiley now

[WhyTwo]

Ah! Sorry was ready/typing whilst on a conf call, obviously not concentrating much on either. Need to learn to multi-task!

[DAVEY DEE]

Let's hope mikeinsheffield reads this.His forum need him!

MIIIIKE

How about these as first attempts, The black one is a knee pad inside a case, its very safe but a bit too hard to be comfortable, the light one is a small cushion and whilst its probably more comfortable the padding is not quite as effective. In both cases held on to the seatbelt extension with a single large tiewrap

Of course it matters what they look like! This is a Cerbera FFS! Not a bloody Kia Picanto.

Oh well just buy the kids cycle helmets then .

[GT6k]

They're only the engineering prototypes I'll get thhe designer ones made next.

It had to happen because the reason for buying a 'sensible 4-seater' was to be able to take the kids out.

Kids, I could post that long mail that did the rounds, but hey, in my day my Dad would have said.
"Stop moaning and man the fk up!"

[gerradiuk]

Well hey dont forget the "handful of hot gravel & how happy you were to get it " Lol.

When I were a lad.....etc etc etc

My worry would be that in an accident any back seat passengers would end up with nasty head injuries regardless of any padding. It might protect against minor knocks, but in anything more than a very minor shunt would it make much difference?
