I have a pretty old car, an S Reg Ford Escort, so no Isofix or anything. In the back I currently have DS1 (6) on a HBB and DS2 (3) in a Britax First Class Plus. In the middle is only a lap belt.
DS3 is due in Oct and I was originally going to get a Group 0 seat, either the Obaby Zezu or a Maxi Cosi one to fit on my pram. But I don't have a huge budget and I really can't stretch to a base. So I'm thinking now that if I'm going to strap the seat in and out every time that I might as well cut my losses and get another First Class Plus and just unstrap DS3. DS1 and 2 have both been big for their ages and would have grown out of a Group 0 at about 9months. So I will probably have to get a FC+ then anyway, as I know and trust them and want to keep baby rf as long as I can.
But it's just dawned on me that I won't be able to fit another seat in the back whatever I do! Not sure how safe it is to put baby in the front? And I don't think I can put a HBB in the front? My car doesn't have airbags or anything.
Is there any way I can do this safely, or should I start looking for another car?
