BEST CHILD SEAT FOR CHIMAERA

[linleyw]

It's been a long TVR free year since I was unwise enough to sire twins. Now they're two and the boy at least has shown some er...... interest in accompanying me when I get my 500 on wednesday.

Any recommendations / experience of a good front facing child seat for the front of a chimaera ?

Ah well my daughter loves the Chimaera, been traveling in since the age off 1 1/2
We had a great Maxi Cosey, the shop thought I was joking when I asked to try the fit in the TVR, but its worth taking it with u when you want to ensure it fits correctly,
Great child seat, only problem is that my daughter now loves the Chimaera so much I'm not allowed to change her and she has driven her twice now and she's only 11 lol :)

Try before you buy is the only way.

I did not buy it for the Chim, but our Maxi Cosi Tobi fitted ok and is high enough for my daughter (2yrs) to see out.

thanks gents, much obliged

I have a maxi cosi, fits ok, not perfect but better than some I tried, also give a high ride position (brought originally for the 4x4, but suits the chim as well) which means the little tike can see outside

Had a seat fitted yesterday.

Wanted the Maxi Cosi Tobi as recommended - couldn't because the seat belt latch "post" was mounted (TVR anybody ? ) 2 inches further forward than usual, so that didn't work at all

We then tried the Maxi Cosi Priori XP - my seat belt latch post was too long

In the end it had to be a Britax, the only one that fitted securely on my particular car.

So the real lesson is, what works for one TVR might not work for all...... definitely take the car for an individual fitting

Took each of the two year old twins out in turn and had my £150 worth already. Daughter was out first saying "More ! More !" and then the boy "Fun Daddy, round again !"

Thanks for your advice guys
