Title: anyone got a baby?????????
Post by: the.little.fox on 09 September 2005, 15:36
Hi,

Right. This is going to sound a bit silly, but I'm having problems getting a baby car seat.

Has anyone got a baby and a mark 2 golf gti?

Nobody will sell me a seat because I have the seatbelt buckle on a webbing bit. Does that make any sense? Apparently in an accident something called 'buckle crunch' would happen and be really dangerous.

I'm now considering changing my seatbelt. Any ideas how I would go about this?

Theres no way I'm selling my golf!

Please help! x

Graco Travel system worked for us too. P.S., since our girl is now 15 months old, we don't use the travel system any more... offers?  :wink:
