ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 19d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 07/06/05 07:43 AM Share Posted 07/06/05 07:43 AM As you know I have a new boy and we have 2 baby capsules. As I do not want to drive SWMBO's Kluger much, I have fitted the second Safe and Sound Capsule in my car.The only anchor point I found is in the center of the rear seat, so I wanted to find out how people have found this location.The Kluger's capsule is fitted on the rear passenger side, this makes it much easier to get him in/out. Should I move the anchor point to one of the sides ?What have people found using the center location.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18085-baby-capsule-sedan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Congratulations on the new addition! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18085-baby-capsule-sedan/#findComment-260594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get flamed for this but when driving and if the baby is screaming, either the driver or passenger can easily stick a hand over to comfort the baby... also getting the baby in is very easy... I sit in the seat and place baby in... very easy, the T has plenty of space and I definately wouldnt want to move it to the side. Hope that helps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18085-baby-capsule-sedan/#findComment-260595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the safety of having it in the middle, plus the ability to have easy access when driving. I will need to see how easy it is to get him in/out with it in the middle.Thanks for the replies.

Couldn't agree with you more.Fantastic how these cars can be family transport one minute, HSV burners the next.I have had a child seat in the middle since the day I bought the car. I prefer that location especially for side impact protection.I'm sure you'll notice that it's not too bad.Congratulations again on the new addition.

Too true mate, that's rather funny!This topic a bit like half a dozen of one, six of another. I'm a fan of having the capsule on one side. I see your point about side impacts and the sun, and they're very valid. But I personally would find it too much of a hassle to put the bubba in if the seat was in the middle.Also, when we took the seat for a check-up at our local Childsafe (think that's what they call themselves), they recommended that the capsule be put behind the passenger seat. They did cite some safety related reason for this, which I can't recall for the life of me, but it's one of the reasons why we've always done it this way. Oh yeah, and I actually find I can quite easily reach the bub from the driver's seat if I need to. But I don't actually do that when I'm driving of course!
