Child Car Seat for XK 2006

[SFJ]

I've had a 56 plate XK since it was a baby...my wife is now having a different kind of baby and I've convinced her that the XK is an excellent family car. Any advice/recommendations on car seats for babies who want their dad to keep his XK would be extremely welcome.

Hi Stuart,

 

Jaguar recommend that until a baby is weighing in at 20lbs, a rear facing seat with a harness should be used.  There is also some mention of fitting detail in the S Type manual, which may not apply to the XK.

 

Car seats have come a long way since I had them in my Austin A40 Farina Style!

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Stuart,

 

Come on, the XK isn't  an excellent family car, it is basically a two seater with a bit of posh luggage space in the rear  , or as one reviewer stated

 

" although officially billed as a 2 + 2, the only rear passengers capable of being transported in the back would be a selection of granny’s favourite garden gnomes."

 

ATB,
