dazla Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I know this has been covered lots of times but i'm in need of a baby seat for the supra rear seats. I did a search but its still not clear on which is the best, and the ones that are mentioned are probably discontinued. Someone mentioned moving the seat belts to fit one but thats not an option for me. I've tried Halfords, Baby's R US and they just advised me to change my car...... YEA RIGHT!

Branners Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 keep it in your pants, then you dont need one Are you looking for baby carriers that fit or child seats from 9 months upwards? I find that for older kids (3 years upwards) the Britax Ranger was good for infrequent use and would fit in the front or rear seats. If you want one properly mounted in then I think we used a Britax one that was normally in the family car and got moved across to the Supra on rare occasions. Be aware that the child gets VERY got with the sun streaming through the rear window on to them so perhaps fit a child screen on the rear window. You cannot use rear facing child seats in the front of a Supra with airbags, but disable the airbag and it should be okay. I can try and track down the model number of the Britax seat we used if its of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazla Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes its from 9moths onwards. If you can find the model number that would be great mate.

Aero-M Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I have a britax, I think its a freeway and it fits in perfectly. Will check when tash gets home later. I have tried lots, and this was the only one that fitted in the rear seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Is there a seat for new borns that would fit in the rear seats of the supra . I've tried searching but all i can find is people talking about 9 months and onwards . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Not sure about newborns Matt, but I can say that the Britax freeway is the best fit for 9 months onwards. Picked it up yesterday from tesco direct for £58. Its got a really small base. The smallest on the market i think. This seat is discontinued in the shops like mother care and baby's r us, but you can order them on line. The seat is also light grey to match my car, RESULT:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 And this fits in the rear seats Ok ? even with a passenger ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 True I don't think there are any seats that will fit the supra for newborns (well there weren't a year ago when I was looking). You'll have to wait 9 months and get a forward facing seat for the rear, and there are a few that will be OK for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means your supra will remain uncontaminated with baby sick, which is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'd love to do this but i don't really have anywhere to store the supra as i don't have a drive nor garage . Maybe finding a garage to rent or swopping with my brother for a while maybe an option . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 And this fits in the rear seats Ok ? even with a passenger ? Yes Matt, it fits in the rear, with a passenger with hobbit legs. Only joking, There's bags of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRACIE_LOU Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 kiddicare in peterborough are very good we got ours from there about 3months ago they do the fitting too and advice... its a maxi cosi tobi they have website too! its from 9mnths:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charlierob Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Our little one is 3 months old now we got the graco quattro tour travel system as it can be used with or without the base. The seat can be used in the back without damaging the seats if you dont use the base and the seat comes with an indicator on the side to make sure its sitting at the right angle for the babies neck. Hope this helps. Charlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Maxi cosi toby fits, Not perfect but I thought it held my little one safely. Although this was not a permanent thing only now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wife got a Maxicosi today but said it wont fit in the supra because that dont have "isofix" whatever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wife got a Maxicosi today but said it wont fit in the supra because that dont have "isofix" whatever that is. Two clamps at the very back of the seat, the babyseat locks into these BUT you can still use seat belts with an isofix equipped babyseat. I have to find a seat, I just cannot deal with yet another moron/timewaster/dreamer/someone I wouldn't want on my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Sorry Gaz I'll get a pic for you tomorrow. Its a good fit though, It doesn't move at all. It can also recline back 3 times but theres not much room for that. I'll try and get some pics sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have a maxi cosy that used to fit in the front seat ok (not using the isofix). Don't forget to disable/remove the front airbag though! I took the car to Baby's R Us or whatever it's called and they checked it fitted OK - got a few strange looks mind :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
