Three kids in a Maserati Grantursimo...

[cradock]

Does the collective wisdom of PH have any experience of fitting three kids into the back of a Maserati Granturismo?

My notion is that the rear seat is in theory large enough to fit three across. I know the solutions like the multimac seats would fit, but my eldest is too big for this solution. Has anyone ever look at, or indeed completed, a modification of the rear Centre part to fit a lap belt and replace the hard Centre piece with a padded bolster of some sort? My sense is that it looks possible but I'm unclear of the legalities and practicalities of doing this.

I gather that there are a number of expert trimmers/upholsterers across the country so if anyone has a recommendation in Kent/Sussex/surrey area that too would be immensely helpful. I have heard that similar mods have been done in th back of 456s and 612s so I'm hopeful I can get something done. Fortunately the interior is plain black leather so easier to match for any changes.

So, any advice/ideas would be tremendous - simply put its this or take the XC90 down to France instead... I am sure you'll feel my pain!

Thanks

did you forget about the fourth ?

Haha - well that's a given...

But on the kids - 10, 8 and 4 (10 and 8 are over 135cm so not on boosters, the 4 y.o. uses a standard car seat or booster).

Watch this to the end [or fast forward to the end....]https://youtu.be/zi9pHnH6aKQ

Not sure there is enough space for three even without the central tunnel and even if there was not sure it would be too long before the complaints started. Suspect you may get to Dover but wouldn't like to go to south of France in like that!

is the car not registered as a 4 seater therefore any more than 4 is in fact illegal?
