Other than leaving my 6 year old, nearly 7, son at home what are the options for a Caterham?

I'm not adverse to changing seats from Tillett to the "comfy" Roadsport style seats or vice-versa.

Cheers

It is important to understand statistics rather than imagine what could happen.

A quick trip in the Caterham on well chosen roads has virtually no risk associated with it. I would not personally commute through significant traffic every morning to drop the kids at school. But choose the time and place for a drive and the kids will have a great time.

The same sort of choice applies to so much stuff. Avoid teaching the kids to ride a bike and they never get knocked off, instead they die of obesity related diseases earlier than the average cyclist.
Absolutely. There is risk everywhere in almost everything you do and you can be injured or die doing the most mundane or routine tasks.

For what it is worth my son is almost 7 and no longer requires the 5 point harness child seats but uses a booster seat with side impact protection with the standard car lap belt.

Therefore a good booster seat with the Caterham harness should be fine. The Volvo booster seat looks good.
