I would only buy a childseat with its own built-in belts as they are far more safer thumbsup

Thats why my last seat for Megan cost 160 Euros

but it has to be done for your nippers safety Imnotworthy

No child under 15 should travel in the VX because of danger of submarining (shape of the seat and position of seatbelts mounting)

My 14 year old son is taller/bigger than my wife :blink:

The ruling is 12 year olds, I believe.

It is actually illegal in Switz. for someone below that age to be a front seat passenger if there are alternative spaces. Think you'd be OK (legally) with a kid in the middle front seat of a Multipla with 4 kids on board though.
