Car Seat Update + ISOFIX question V70-XC70 01

posted by  someone claiming to be Bert on  Sat Jan 13 07:01 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi,

Thanks to the several folks who responded in the last week to my

concern about car seats for the XC. A wonderful guy named Mark suggested

I try the Century Smartfit Plus. I found the car seat-- and it fits!!! We

did need to use some "pool float noodles" to make it secure; however,

it is now very tightly in place-- and both right and left outboard passengers have full use of their seatbelts. Yeah!!

I also posted on the Edmunds cite, and there a guy named Rollie mentioned the isofix system and another poster mentioned difficulty in finding an isofix seat. I think the Fisher Price Safe Embrace has the anchor points. Can anyone confirm this?

Also-- what's up with putting the isofix/latch system latches only on the

right and left rear seat positions but not in the middle-- the area many

consider the safest? Apparently, Volvo decided that having a middle

seat that can lift out is more important than being able to have a

permanent seat allowing for isofix latches! Volvo tells me they believe

that the right or left seat positions are just as safe-- but they cannot

cite specific tests to back this up. Anyone have any information on

this?

Thanks again,

Bert
