Interesting Child Seat

Wonder if it would fit the Omega, says it fits Insignia. The "bump" in the back bench, could cause issues.

It looks as though the whole things needs to be bolted to the car structure. If the seat base gets in the way then it would be a simple matter to lift it out and store it.

Just how many sproglets are you planning BTW?

Is popping little George and Charlotte in the boot frowned upon then?  ???

Obviously more than could be considered socially acceptable... ::)

Be interesting to see what insurers would say to carrying more people, however small, than the car is designed for... ie three people in the back of a Ka or Mini Convertible :o

Best place for baby seats is kiddiecare, if you lived up this way we have the mega-store, lots of discounts, have on-line as well,and very helpful staff,who know there stuff. :y
 you want one that will change into a booster seat when they've out grown the seat, the recaro seats are very good, price is not every thing, go and look at lots before you decide, talk to other parents, and don't believe a lot of the reviews,
Also remember you may be taking it from one car to another, so ease of fitting might be a consideration, all of ours came from Kidde care, and so have all grand-children's too.

I would suggest that would invalidate insurance, as the Omega (and just about every other non MPV) is designed for a max of 1 driver plus 4 passengers in a 2x3 formation.

I think your choices fall to either a life-ending MPV, or a club hammer on the plums.

I would only consider the 3 seat bench, not 4  :y

Simple, I've tried putting car set in the middle seat, it won't be practical day to day. Just found it interesting hence posting, don't think I would seriously consider it.

We have the seat in the middle... A bit of a faff getting in and out but she gets a view of the road ahead and is very secure. Best thing is that there is still space to sit 2 adults on the back seat, albeit a little on the cozy side if they're large.

I can't see these being any use unless you're planning on having quadruplets. What do you do when one grows out of it?

I read recently that I've got about the same chance of fathering quadruplets as winning the lottery.

If that happens, I'll be back asking if they fit in the back of an Elite.. A Cessna Citation Elite. 8)

"Aviva have specifically stated that: ‘The Multimac is Aviva approved, and fitment will not invalidate your policy’, and feedback from our customers is that other Insurers have similarly accepted it with no change in premiums."

looks like insurers don't have an issue.
