Thanks, panick overConfused??:

RE: Sold my Pure

Let's be clear, rear access in the coupe is compromised and suited for occasional use. If you're a busy parent with children with runny noses, the coupe is not for you. If, however, you want a carwhich is close to the original LRX concept, the coupe is right on the money.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Thanks!

Hi,

Our girls are 8 and 6 and tall for their age. In hubby's RRS our eldest no longer needs a booster but our youngest has a normal booster.

However in my Evoque the windows are/seem a lot higher up, without any boosters they looked like a pair of midgets in the back Laughing, so our eldest has gone back to using a booster (could probably just about get away without one) and our youngest is back in a booster with the side wings on.... Otherwise they wouldn't be able to see out very well! I have a 5 door....

HTH.

Ali.

Thanks Ali,I think I will have to take the kids to the showroom.If they are too small I will get booster seats as I couldn't change the car!

Our daughter turns 3 on Thursday. She's just over 1 meter now. I wonder if you can get some higher booster seats. I doubt you can get very high ones for security reasons, but maybe somebody can point me out a different model.

Looks like you might need the rear entertainment if she cannot see out of the windows.When they are that height there are not many cars they can see out of.

Unfortunately my budget doesn't stretch that far. Would have taken the lux pack if we had the option here, as it is reasonably priced. I'll have to go for an ipad holder.

Either that or there are many in-car dvd players that are just as good at a fraction of the price.

RE: Sold my Pure

We bought some iPads now. Peppa pig and Ben and Holly for our youngest, Star Wars for our eldest. Works a treat? Added bonus of being game machines too. Recommend Lego Harry potter yrs 1-4. Think cost £2 on iTunes. Fantastic

Getting back to the window height thing.One of our children gets travel sick and looking out of the window helps.
