The best solution is refrain from having a 2nd child. Save all trouble!

lol, we actually plan to have at least 3....

What about Citroen C4? I saw it has 3 full adult passenger seat behind. Are the parts expensive?

I think that MPV will be the best solution for family head counts increasing. I hate car seat taking out larger space than adult. I change to estima-7 seater before my twins coming. My eldest is 3 yrs now. Twins are 1 yr. 3 car seats, 1 maid and 2 adults. Only estima suit our needs with large lunggage compartment and accessible from 2nd to 3rd row even 1st row.

 

We also try 2 car seats at the back (one face outward and one face inward) + one maid behind at centre on honda accord (Generation 7). It works. My eldest sit at front passenger (Not good facing airbag) for short trip when only my wife driving. You may need to find larger sedan such as honda accord G8 with even 2" wider or honda edix.

 

It has been extreme headache for parents. I will soon getting 2nd maid for my wife (Depression due to babies taking care). We will again trying to figure the best configuration for 3 car seats and 4 adults. Maybe my eldest need to sit at third row + maid at centre and twin2 (Twin 1 + maid at 2nd row). 2 car seats only leave a narrow space for maid at 3rd row. My eldest has not meet the height for only booster seat.

I was thinking of Estima too, we dun need maid so not so bad ;)

How far is the distance between back door and the last row? Can they be folded?

For cabin seats, which is bigger? Premio or Allion?

though onli Esso and shell got Refinary plant at Singapore, never see SPC & Caltex have planr in Saingpore

SPC owns SRC....

Very Subaru like.....

Thanks for all the reply! Think I can take can buy an infant seat to resolve it.....Latio is actually very spacious. Push the front passenger seat to the max, any adult can still go in and out easily....

But if I were to move on to SUV, what're the options? Can't afford XC90 until our combined income is near $30K/month .... Gotta skip MPV, just too dangerous to be driven at the back.... Estima is probably the safest among all?

Actually I am considering switching to an used Prius due to new work commitment. I would incur additional 800KM~1200KM per month. Currently I am only at around 1350KM per month.... Saw one Aug 2008 Prius going at $68K.....My Nov 2009 Latio can probably fetch near $60K?

With the surge price in Petrol, is it worth to go for Prius? I supposed it's more spacious than Latio.... Can probably cut my fuel usage by 2.5x?

the problem about MPV is.....

the last row is so near to the road....if accident happen...sure kena jialat jialat one......that's what I'm worrying...

Normal sedan at least has the boot as buffer....

I am having a Latio now and planning to have the 2nd baby. The car seat I'm using is quite big (360 degree turning from Combi). We plan to use the same for the 2nd baby. Currently my first baby is about 15months old.

If I need to use 2 of this combi 360 degree turning car seat, I am afraid that my wife may not have enough space to sit in between with 2 car seats installed at the back.

I have 2 questions:

1. What's the youngest age for toddler to use a basic toddler seat / booster seat?

2. What is the 5 seater car that has good space to house 2 such car seats yet having enough space at the centre? (besides Edix?)

Any other suggestions are welcome!

I try not to go beyond 5 seaters categories.....

the free mastercard subscription is going to end soon, are you guys going to terminate it?

I have been driving my Latio for 6months+, since 3 months ago, on and off there was smelly air coming out from the aircon. Reported to the service center and after 2 trials, it's still the same. Engineer told me it's normal coz sometimes PlasmaCluster doing cleaning and causes it.

However, over the past few weeks, this smell comes back almost every day, and it lasted for 1-2 mins.

Any idea what went wrong? I know about Sharp plasmacluster technologies and I dun believe the engineer. Any Latio owner also encounter the same problem? Just want to hear some feedback before I bang table at the customer service.....

Premium = selling price - cost

but they uses latest COE and OMV to calculate in the website, so there should be a little variant of 5%?

I dunno why Nissan's OMV are always so high compare to other brands. Seems a little over-declared.....

But better than Mazda and Subaru lar. those are super overpriced brands....sigh, can you imagine forester 2.0 having similar OMV as Latio Premium?

is TanChong play games again on Teana now? -3% premium for the 2.0 model?!

Few months ago played Latio, now Teana....

but the high value COE really makes people think twice.....maybe thrice.....

there is nothing you can do. In fact the more you ask people to go, the more people will stop and try to find out what happened. This is human nature....

I find my latio pickup slow.. is it CVT problem

1st, use 98 if you want POWER....

2nd, press that damn sport button lar aiyo.....CVT is more powerful you know?

on my 2500km mark, 10.5km/l plus minus not an issue with Caltex 95 (halfway cheong 98 for 2 tanks based on advise given from TC engineer).

Mine mostly city....if cheong highway only, easily can hit 4.5-6.5l/100km lar....but gotta play around with the accelerator....keep on press release press release lor...lol

oh well....another overpriced item from BM....

If Ican ask the people inside lock it, I dun need to post already....

Do u mean u want to leave the car with the engine running with no passesngers inside and then come back later?

yup, leave the engine, but with people inside, but not the iKey.....then come back later.

Currently I have to wind down the master window, press the master lock, press the automatic window up....when coming back, use the key to open the door....

The iKey doesn't work when engine is ON..... :(

Public stem cell storage means that the stemcell is available not exclusively for you and ur family n anybody in the public who found a match in the public stemcell bank- they can use it... 1 stemcell can only be utilise once or twice...

1 stemcell? You meant that big pack is it?

Can only be used once. And if the private bank didn't manage it properly, there goes your baby's stemcell......no matter how much you pay, or how much you compensate...it's gone.

Going public means contributing to the public. I dunno if you guys believe it or not, if your baby has some inherited disease.....that stemcell can't be used as well......

If more people contributed to the public bank, the higher chance anybody could find a match, I believe in using other people's stemcell.....have you guys spend sometime to find out what the public bank about? Or just simply brainwashed by those private banking company?

maybe we shall open a new thread for such discussion....

stemcord is cheaper but cordlife is accredited ... and when cordlife singapore collapse, they can transfer you to other bank... for stemcord, i think it's more difficult

 

then look out for referral prog and also vouchers to offset ..

 

personally, i have chosen cordlife

why not go public? Your baby bonus can be better utilized.... Such private bank is cheaper only when you are using the stem cell on others...

I saw this combi Zeus turn selling at $799, probably the only locally available car seat that can turn 360 degree, from new born to 4yo....

New model is called Zeus 360.....

A quick glance at eBay ..... Zeus Turn costs only USD200 nia......

Anybody using combi Zeus? TaiSeng really chop carrot head menz....

Price out...$81k with $2k off. Meaning $79K? Saw from today's weekend while walking along Orchard road...

Anybody knows what is the OMV? This will determine if $79K is carrot head price or reasonable price.....

$200 highest bid as of now. Selling it today if no higher bidder.
