Hilux X-tra cab and baby car seat

[Rebel 4x4]

Okay, here's a funny or weird question. I've got a friend who has one of these vehicles as a "lease" or "factory" vehicle. It's part of a hire scheme the Vehicle Manufacturers call it. I can get his one early in the new year for a good price....

My idea was to upgrade to a double cab next year, as we might start a family, now this pops up..... Can this be done, or has someone done this before (installing baby car seat in a X-tra cab). Logic tells me it's not possible..... but hope it can be done!!!!

have a good look at the licence disc as the vehicle is only licenced for 2 people in the front, it is illegal to fit more seats to a clubcab

Ive heard you can let someone sit behind, legally.... But my question relates more to the baby seat...

[CasKru]

I'm thinking there should be some way you can use proper tie downs holding the seat in place.

Will confirm that, thanks Koos.... Otherwise it means the double cab will still come from VW....

Looked now at a 2007 4l 4x4 double cab with 118 000 on the clock.... Suspension lift, 31" BF's, ARB bullbar with winch, snorkel and some other accesories for R199 000 with FSH.....

Ek worry net oor petrol verbruik, diesel ry tog so lekker.....

ek is n groot volla fan en die lorrie ry baie lekker maar ek sien hy raak weer agter, die geld wat jy op n volla gaan verloor kan n 4liter my 2km/l gee en ek sal nog beter af wees. sorrie, ek het 2 petrolvrate en geniet hulle, mmm ok nie die 320 isuzu vergeet nie
so maak maar die som en praat weer, ja toyota se versekering is soms hoer want hulle steel hom graag.
al na die nuwe ford gekyk ???

FORD waentjie is baie goedkoop (bekostigbaar, R280 000 vir 2.2TD Dubbel kajuit), net geworried oor re-sale value + gearbox + diff.....dit hou ook nie lank nie, ek praat uit mense wie ek ken wat die waentjies gehad het (Die vorige generasie - 2008-2012 reeks), om eerlik te wees, 3.....tensy hulle "lemons" gekoop het.

[Keiler]

wel dan antwoord jy nou die dubbelkajuit storie, ou 4liter gaan jou remme kos, want hulle word gebruik, waterpomp as hy pink druppel op garage vloer los, nogals belangrik maar effe rof @ R4k, maar jy kan pirate laat doen @R2k ingesit, mmm en dan as die ou so n flatspot kry n petrolpomp maar ook nie duur, sidder om te dink aan die volla as daai klein woer woer probleme gee,

[Rebel 4x4]

Nie regtig geworried oor woer woer engine nie, Ek beoog om elke 3 jaar voertuig te ruil. Sover weet ek die eerste 2 hoogste km op die waentjies sover in die land is 120 000 en 135 000 sonder probleme.....Maar om nie van punt af te wyk nie, het iemand dalk 'n lisensie skyf om die legit people limit aan te wys? Sal waardeer word dankie....

Hoe veel km's het voetspore gedoen voor probleme opgedaag het. Voertuie is gelaaien klutch baie gebruik. Kyk na ouens van LA Sport wat Bobbejaans in Lesuto gedoen het. Waarvoor wil jy die voertuig gebruik. As familie voertuig sonder dravrag kan werk, maar my wa het homself al bewys en dra vrag as die wiele draai.

a baby seat is actually "long". I doubt it will fit in length wise, and it will be downright DANGEROUS to place it sideways.

[tersmit]

In my humble opinion. If it has factory fitted safety belts at the back, by all means, put the baby in the back. If not, DO NOT DO IT. Dit is jou kind se lewe !

Het hierdie tipe voertuie sitplekgordels aan die agterkant, en neem aan nie?

Sit die baby seat voor en vir mamma agter - problem solved
