Thread: Bad news!! The baby seat wont go in!

Dude, to add to the above comments, dont sell the car, when our little one was born, the amount of times I heard "oh you'll have to get rid of the S3 now" Now if i had a pound for everytime I have heard that over the past few months, I could afford another S3!!! We have decided to keep the car and it will be fine, coz the seat will change soon, so will not be coming in and out all the time as will be there all the time...

Its the silver cross car seat. We just cant seem to get it through the gap between the b pillar and seat, well, not without some hard shoving. Which I wouldnt want to do with the baby in it! And as I bought the car as much for my girlfriend as for me, I cant expect her to do that when Im not there! Since I have the sharan, and I dont think im gonna get the time to put into this car what it deserves, I figured just sell it... argh! Im nuts i...

Fancy a straight swap for my S2 Avant? 4 doors and big boot, plus decent performance....

mate I take it you have checked lots of different baby seats?? if this is possible i would do it, in my astra (the 2.0 turbo family car!) i had to try a few baby seats in before i found one that would fit and let me still adjust the seats around, also i found putting the seat slightly more upright helped. being an s3 it should have isofix in the back too so you have the option of belt fit OR isolfix, you may get lucky! I am now onto a first...

I'm sure someone will bite your hand off for that price!

Get another car seat, not another car! JUst had my little boy 2 weeks ago. Thankfully the Mrs has a golf which is the 'family car', however have checked the car seat in the s3 and it fits okay. Have to tilt it slightly to get in the back, but it doesn't take up too much room away from the front passenger. What car seat do you have? We've a silver cross. It won't be long until the little tyke will have grown out of the...

In all fairness Joe,Nilz has his own car seat. I would buy a smaller seat before chopping my car in. However someone will get a bargain with sircharles's S3

I took junior home from the Hospital in my S3, I agree it's hard work, but not impossible. the gap is tight, as such you have to push the front seat forward to get the baby seat into the back. I had the wife travel in the back of the car also(I'm almost 6ft tall) which she was ok with. I'm sure Nilzy will be along shortly with his tips, as he's just had a newborn not long ago.

My recaro preofi plus would not fit in the S3, well not in the back, anyway. The young sport will though, but the S3 is a tiny car inside!
