    Capsule & in Magna

    Does anyone know if I can fit a capsule (hired from the ambos) next to DS's SnS Guardian seat in a Mitsubishi Magna. I was thinking it'd be good to have bubs behind the passenger, DS in the middle and have the seat behind the driver free.

    If not, I have to get DS's seat moved before we get the capsule installed.

    Thanks!

    I have a magna and found that I could not have the capsule in the middle next to a maxi rider, or the capsule on the side and maxi rider in the middle. They pushed them sideways. Not sure for your one though, and the capsule I have is the unity safe n sound. You might have to just see if they can and if not get them to redo your sons seat at the same time.

    I have mine with the maxi rider behind passanger, and capsule behind driver. Dh can just get seat back far enough to drive. I did this as the maxirider has my 6 year old in it and my 9 yr old sits in the middle (to me she is more protected this way) they get in and out on their own and I get my 15 month old out hence why on drivers side, she is stil in the unity capsule.

    My sister has a Magna with the capsule in the middle and her son's maxi rider behind the passenger seat. It's pretty squashy and her DS has trouble doing the seat belt up.

    When we had the magna, we had the capsule behind the passenger seat because it pushed the front seats to much by being in the middle, and there was no way in hell DH would have been able to fit in there to drive.

    So DS went behind the driver in his maxi rider and DD was in capsule behind passenger.

    Thanks ladies, I guess I'll get both sides with restraint point fitted (in addition to the centre one we have now) and see if the ambo guy says he can get the capsule in with DS's seat there.

    I don't have the problem with fitting the rear facing seat for tall people as both DH & I are short and sit close to the steering wheel.
