Default RE: Infant Seat

I too found the rear belts too short on my wifes 850, it was possible to get the car seat in the rear (with some pushing & grunting) but to fit the seat in the front was impossible. Bought a Volvo seat from Lancaster Volvo which was £250 including a front and rear fitting kit, a baby insert, fitting (instalation) and VAT. They say this seat is suitable up to 4yrs which if you consider how much a stage 1 seat and stage 3 seat is it isn't that bad.

Graco fit's perfectly.

We have 2 seats. (A Graco baby carrier) and another german seat called a "concord" they're a bit like recaro seats for kids.

Both fitted snug-firm in my S70 and my old 850 T5...

IN the back and front...

Our baby seat fits in the front but not the back, though there isn't much slack left in the belt. I priced the longer belt from volvo and it was over £80 +vat. I then had an idea!!! Securon make seatbelts and are a uk firm, so I looked up their website and they sell seatbelt for the 850 and other models for around £35. They also sell seat belt extenders but advise against using them with child seats. I don't know if these are longer then standard, but I'm sure they can make longer ones and much cheaper than Volvo. I haven't contacted them yet (been busy) but thought you might want the extra info.
