Spooner Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi, We're looking at a 95 300tdi 90 CSW tomorrow with a view to it replacing our Euro box. As we have two children under 4, I want to swap out two of the fold down seats in the back with a forward facing locking seat to accomodate the youngest child seat - the older one will sit in the front in his own car seat as he does in my 110. Has anyone any experience of Exmoor's load space forward locking seats ? Looking at their web page it does NOT look like they include the seat belt and they are £460 + Vat !! plus extra for the headrest and the armrest!! Will be getting near £600 by the time it's all ordered and that's serious money in my book. Is Exmoor kit any good? I rang them about two years ago regarding child seats and I the experience was'nt pleasant. Have they got any better? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Worth every penny for piece of mind.. Build the cost into your budget for whatever you get. Having a family myself, Id consider a 110 as you soon need the space ! they say : Fully integrated 3 point inertia belt, so you wont need to get extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90 is to replace my wifes Golf. Just found their website with a lot of details on there. Looks like a 4 week wait for the seat though - must be made to order considering the trim options available. Test drive this morning ...we will see...

Thon Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 We had a similar situation with our two children in our 90. A friend built me some beautiful brackets which allowed me to bolt securely two defender centre seats, forward facing, half on the wheelboxes, and added two 3 point seatbelts (from Exmoor) using all the necessary brackets and spreader plates. We used these with two high backed booster seats for several years for a total cost of around 150 pounds when the children were between 2 and 6. I still have the brackets available F.O.C if they would be of use to you. Now owning a 110 TDI SW (actually two of them), this demonstrated to me that we really should have bought one a long time ago, so much easier are they to load kids in and out. The 90 is do-able, but the 110 soooo much easier on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
