- 2011 VE Series II SV6
Hello everyone.
Been in a brand new VE Series 2 SV6 for two weeks now, and the kids (9, 7 and 3 years old) are less than happy with the car. Our previous car was a VS. My partner and I, on the other hand, are loving the iQ... and the rest of the car too of course .
The problem is the youngest child's car seat. It covers the belt buckles. The seat's in the middle and causes the two older kids to struggle with putting on their seat belts. They wrestle for many minutes with locating the buckles that lie buried behind the car seat. This was never a problem in the VS, which seems to have had a similarly sized back seat, but the seat belt design was different.
I wanted to move the car seat to the outside, behind the driver's seat. However, there's no anchor behind the outside seats. The anchor is only present in the middle.
Wondering what's involved in moving the anchor to the outside.
Ideally, however, I'd like to keep the seat in the middle as it keeps the two older ones apart. Hence, I'm wondering if any VE owners have found a car seat that fits the car well.
Thanks in advance,
Regards.
