I need a baby seat (9m to 4y). Been told to move the seat belt mounts? MOT Fail?

I need a new baby seat for the age range 9 months to 4 years (or better still 9 months to 11 years). It's needed for the rear seat of an (internally) standard 4 Door 95 300 series Disco.

My wife and I have spent the weekend trawling baby seat suppliers to no avail. The position of the seatbelt mount on the wheel arch means that the seats all have lateral movement. I was told by one supplier to move the seat belt mount further back on the wheel arch or better still mount it onto the boot floor. Both of these positions will pull the seat back into the rear seat and will eliminate lateral movement.

Now the Discos are frequently used as family buses so there must be MC'ers in the same boat.

My quesions are.......

What seats do you use for the age range 9 months to 4 years?
Has anybody relocated the seat belt mounts? If so - what seat do you use?
How does this affect the MOT?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, first of all, whats sort of motor is it going into and secondly, is it going to be in the front or rear seat?, we had a similar problem but found that a britax eclipse si was the best sitting seat, it sat well in the rear seats but not so well in the front, hope this has helped and if you want pic's of the fitting i will post,

Thx Jav.

Hi Jav,

It's needed for the rear seat of an (internally) standard 4 Door 95 300 series Disco. (I've modified the original post to include this info).

We tried several Britax seats but I can't remember the Eclipse SI. Some photos would be nice if it's not too much trouble.

Thanks.
