Child seat advice.. again Recaro starts vs TVR seat
Discussion
Hi everyone. I recently bought the TVR car seat which comes in three parts. To be honest I'm reluctant to want to fit the bar as I very rarely will carry my son in the car. Also when I've put him in it looks very easy for him to escape.
Does anyone have any pictures of the car seat fitted so I can get an idea on how the seatbelt should work?
I'm also now thinking I'm probably better off getting a recaro start (1) which I know will fit and seems to have the rollers to move the belts into a safer place. Does anyone have one they want to sell perhaps? Otherwise I'll keep an eye on ebay.
Many thanks

I got a cerbera car seat and the bar recently.
The extra fixings you need are pictured on page 17 of this U-Hard-Trim parts manual.
If you have the bar then I think all you need are parts itemed 9 and 10.
I haven't had the bar fitted to my car yet as my daughter is too small right now but I did find out that Kerridges in Ipswich have retro fitted the bar in the past.

Thanks guys. Fantastic advice. I do have the TVR seat but it's just polystyrene covered in vinyl. I also have the base and bar but no brackets. (which are easy to source)
From looking at these pictures I think recaro start and impact cushion are what my son needs. The main problem is the belt being near his neck. The guides that lock the belts in place are not on the TVR seat and I really need them to stop him wriggling out.
Many thanks.

Just as an update, I bought a Recaro start from Ebay. Managed to secure one for a whole £36 
The seat is HUGELY better built and obviously safer than the TVR seat. Maybe TVR did a few seats but the one I have is really not up to the job.
Thanks for the advice. My son will get his first ride back from his nursery tomorow
