Hi all

A friend has kindly lent me his 90 while he goes on holiday.

With having 2 kids under 4. They require child seats. My question is, how safe and legal is it to have the child's seat on the rear fold down seats in the back?



Thanks
Nick

Ok. That's answered that. Thanks chaps.

Now is the old conundrum of the 90 Vs 110

Off to take my mates 90 tomorrow to look at a 90 with forward facing seats and a 110

Thanks all

Are you looking to buy a 90 or a 110 for family duties? They are fun cars, but not the safest vehciles by a long way.

I've often thought about chopping in my D3 and Series for a 110, but then think about NCAP and all that adult type stuff. frown
If I am honest. I haven't thought about the NCAP rating.

The idea was for family duties purely as we abuse the current car so much, I would be less worried with a defender.

Currently have a Mondeo estate. Seats have protector covers on, boot has a crate for dogs. It doesn't leave much for space elsewhere.

2 kids. 2 dogs normal means daily drive include a packed car. The dogs are normally filthy after walks making my 6m old Mondeo estate look like a tip. I was also think a 110 would make life easier with its height and it's roughness.. 110 has a decent boot which we could use better and alter to include additional storage compartments

Well. That's my thoughts. I could be wrong
