Beehive3783 Turbocharged April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 (edited) Let me give you an idea. I am driving a 1.6L kimchi sedan. 2 child seats, 1 in front and 1 at the back. I can't fit both child seats + my wife at the back. Max is 1 child seat + wife. So no choice, my older child is riding shotgun with me. To make it safer, front airbags are disabled by pulling out the airbag fuse. The impact from the airbag is quite deadly to young children so better to disable it. I know some might bash me for the following reasons: 1. Child in front seat 2. Airbags disabled But I have exhausted all options and since I can't afford a bigger car and there is no option to disable just the front passenger airbag, this is the last option that I have. 1. Airbags are deadly to young children if deployed in their face. 2. My child is in child seat. 3. Most cars didn't have airbags 20 years ago right? As long as you drive safe and defensively, everything will be fine. Hi bros,I'm in the similar situation with the TS and are looking for a new ride to replace my out going Swift.Any recommendations for which car I should be aiming for ?Ideally, the car should be able to fit 2 child seat with my wife sitting in the middle.Also, prefer to be 2nd hand car instead new. Can't really afford brand new now.TIA Edited April 19, 2017 by Beehive3783 ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really afford brand new now. TIA I have a current gen pre-FL accord. It can fit. Both are on LATCH/ISOFIX points. Both are full sized child seats able to take up to 20-25kg kids. But the wife has to climb into between both child seats. Don't think if u are above 60kg, it would be comfy. You can look at those pre-owned camry or accords i guess. But the older camry has no ISOFIX points. I'm not sure if the older accord has as well. It's still safer than the child not wearing seatbelt or childseat Let me give you an idea.

Just to share that my wowo manual tells me to deactivate the front passenger air bag if there is a child seated there or in a child seat. Though if the child's height is above 140cm, I have to activate the front passenger air bag. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 I can confirm that 10 year old accord has no isofix points. I think unless conti cars, not many japanese cars has isofix points from that era unfortunately. Not sure if the previous teana had them though i doubt so.

Having said that If I got a pickup that's going to coe soon, I also ownself renew ownself use don't have ley. all the dealers and owners are smart. all start to jack up the prices liao. anyway it will take 3mths to average down. since PQP is based on the previous 6biddings.

When was the last time u saw a airbag in an industrial pickup? Actually, I've only been in a industrial pickup once (maybe when I was 5 years old) and I sat at the back in the open... But I think they would have front airbags at least? @mustank's pickup definitely has 2 front airbags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
