  1. Hi,

    Soon our family will have one more member. Therefore I need to find a way
    how to fix 3 x kids seats into my V40 T4, because I do not want to give up
    my V40 T4 for one of this baby busses. Our kids are 5 years, 3 years and
    soon one newborn.

    => Does anyone know how to mount 3 x kids seats in a V40 ? (any recommended
    brands ?)

    Regards
    Frank

    Won't you need to use a baby capsule for about the first 8 months? They fill
    a back seat faster than child seats, but if there are 3 seat belts I can't
    see why 3 will not fit - most I have seen are just foam bolster seats held
    only by the kid in the seatbelt.

  4. Our 850 has a 1 built-in booster seat (suitable for a child over 4 and 40
    lbs) in the middle position, which is a good bit narrower than an
    aftermarket seat. We can fit an aftermarket seat on either side of it for a
    total of three.

    I believe the S40 is available with two built-in booster seats. Perhaps you
    can squeeze one aftermarket seat between them. If you don't already have
    the built-ins, your dealer can probably install them for an arm and a leg
    (which will also free up some space).

  5. Hi,

    Our (second hand) V40 T4 didn't come with the built-in boosters. This is why
    currently I have 2 aftermarket seats installed. But the space in between
    doesn't loom enough to install a 3rd one.

    => Are these boosters as safe as the aftermarket kids seats ?

    Regards
    Frank
