Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello all.
Can anybody please recommend a child seat for the back of a 68 two door saloon with static belts.
The child in question is 12months old and 20Ib in weight ,a wee dot.
many thanks.

Basically, no we can't. You should take your car to a store that sells a range of seats and try some.

The reason: It has to be a seat that fits your car and the particular state of the seats, and you have to be absolutely happy with the way it is secured. I could recommend the Maxi Cosi Priori that we have, but if you can't reliably fit it then it's nogood to you.

I would say this, however: consider fitting inertia belts. Fitting a car seat with sufficient belt tension is a real struggle with static belts, as I've found in the front of my saloon. We have iniertia belts in the Trav and fitting the seat is massively easier.

Thanks Jim, have tried a maxi cosi it fits like a glove.
now to find a push chair that fits the boot

We've got an umbrella-fold pushchair that just about goes in the boot, but I haven't got the wooden floor in mine.

You might need a short-fold model like the Quinny Zap. Mothercare did one that folded as small, and we saw a really small travel pushchair from Safety1st.

Thanks for the advice Jim , looks like a visit to Ebay.
How did parents get on in the 60,s.

Very nicely, if I recall...

Should be easy to get a child seat in the back of a pick-up , dont know about our weather though.
