child safety seat for db9

[stanwan]

Has anyone managed to fit front facing child seat in the rear of the db9? I would be grateful if you could let me know which model(s) will fit!!!!

The BMW/Mercedes/Porsche seat fits.

fits - but child sits better without

I have just bought a Britax Freeway from a fellow Pistonheader, in preparation for an impending DB9 purchase. Apparently this fits well in a DB7, and other things also lead to me to believe that it will work in a DB9. But I don't know for certain . . .

If anyone wants to come and try mine in their DB9, feel free - just let me know. I am in Wapping/east London.

I tried sitting in the back last night. I'm 6'2". Oh dear!

I tried sitting in the back of a db9 at the dealership - I felt like a right clown after i got stuck on my way out. I almost fell out of it....

Holy thread resurrection...

but need a recommendation for a child seat to fit in a DB9 that will accommodate a two-three year old

I have been using a Britax Duo plus for the past 2 years in the back of a DBS. It fits quite well but it is really important to make sure that the seat belt tension is sufficient and that it doent slacken off . I check it everytime and its a two person fiddly as hell job but it has to be done .
You must have a short passenger as the seat must be all the way forward to have any chance of it working.
Space is very tight but it can and does work for shortish journeys. We have enjoyed many days out as a family with the car - which is superb

Thank you RudeCherub. Does anyone know if the fit is any different in a Volante.?

[Mr Purple]

Rear bulkhead is more upright in a volante . Not actually tried it but I looked and thought it probably won't fit very well .
