kiddy car seats

[adove]

does anyone know if its possible to fit a kids' seat on the parcel shelf? now I have typed this question out I feel guilty for even thinking of perching my little bundle of joy up there where it clearly isn't designed for human occupancy. But now there's 3 of us, the alternative is to start looking for another motor, and frankly there aren't that many out there to match the chim if you want proper performance in a true sports car with a conv. roof - add a second row of seats and frankly, I can only think of a 911 cabriolet. HELP!!

I have the same problem, and don't really want to go down the cerbie line .

It's a no-no with insurance. Car is registered as a 2 seater.

so i have to buy a porche. god at least i can SPELL tvr (but not chimera)

seriously, what are the options for 2+2 open top motoring? (no hatchback/saloon deriviatives allowed (and that includes M3s (says mrs adove)))

I considered the same issue when I bought the Chim - I have a 1 yr old and a 3yr old, and by going instead for say a tidy 964 Cab (which it seems are not rated that well anyway by most enthusiastic drivers) could just about have fitted the family in. Then I decided that it was maybe not the best idea to be carrying the family around in a sports car anyway, so went for an old Merc for the family and a Chim for me. More than two in the Chim is a no-no, but a child seat goes in the front passenger seat ok.

I think this is a no-no legally unless you get the fitting inspected/approved at an inspection centre and the car re classified as a 3 or 4 seater. Then you would have to get someone to insure it...

open top, accident, flip, baby perched on parcel shelf ... do you really want to consider it any more?

we have a family of 5, i sold my last C¬him when kiddy 3 came along due to pressure from MrsP.....i bought an M3...great car, good fun etc....but I'm back with a Chimaera within 2 years......you'll just have to put up with it or sell up.
