Child Seats & Works Seats

Anyone have JCW Seats and a baby capsule they pop in and out of the car....?

Seems a tight enough fit as it is Can it be done, has anybody tried it, or is it an in through the hatch kob

Any info gratefully received if it convinces the Wife we should have Works seats

I have tried our seats in them

Some car seats actually sit better in them than the standard seats, but what you need to check out if the shape of the bottom of the baby seat, not just that it fit, but that its not going to leave pressure marks on that lovely JCW leather

sorry should have said that if you are fitting in a front seat the air bag MUST be turned off

if your refering to fitting a seat in the rear, I have done this too, and not just fitted but with a passenger in it

Yeah I meant in the rear... It was more a case of getting the seat in and out and how easy it is to manage it really.

Front seating isn't an option at the moment as I'm not paying £300 quid for the privilege of having them knocked off.... fecking rip off

And if we ever got that far, we've bought the lovely little Recaro capsule so no horrible bits of plastic to spoil the lovely leather

Cheers Rakey for the info though

just make sure you have the seats fitted so they slide forwards as they tilt

sounds daft, but many Works seats don't slide, due to bad fitting

I didn't realise, I will look into when I get round to sorting them out... and convincing the wife I think thats the stumbling blcok, making sure she can get the capsule in and out comfortably
