110 2nd row seats

(1/3) > >>

sleepy straven:
I have hit the usual problem. with the kids getting a bit bigger their feet now hit against the back of the front seats when they are in the car seats. Has anyone any great ideas on improving the legroom for the 2nd row seats?
Options so far are:
Option 1: Fit the xmoor trim 2nd row plus extension kit but I have heard that the fixings for these are not up to much and also not worth the amount of money. Any views?
Option 2: Remove existing 2nd row and fit the front facing fold ups with intergral seat belts at the front of the wheel box rather than the rear. Problem with ths would be reducing down to two seats in the second row from three but would give fabby legroom.
Option 3: go with option 2 and amend if someone can come up with an plan to get three seats in.
Option 4: Buy a new 110.
Option 5: ideas from any wizards on here.

Thanks in advance
SS

Saffy:
file their legs down

Martin110:
This is a case of what do you love more the 110 or the kids lol seems like something has got to go!

Dinkydave:
What age are your kids SS?

Also what kiddie seats do you have?

My 3 year old is in a Maxi Cosi at the moment but we've got him a recarro seat to go up into when he's 4. It sits bolt upright in the 2nd row and uses the normal 3 point seat belt.
It's as if he's sitting in a normal seat just slightly higher up, plenty of leg room.

I'd look into a different kiddie seat mate

So it looks like either filing the kids legs down or selling them on eblag!!!!

They are in the maxi cosi seats but at present their legs are not quite long enough to bend at the edge of the seat so they stick staright out and hit the back of mine.

I suppose that when they get bigger their legs will bend down and as you say as they are sitting higher up then there will be plenty of leg room. Possibly the problem is only going to be a short lived one before returning once they leave the child seats.
