If anyone is interested when I contacted my dealer earlier today I asked about the passenger airbag issue.

He confirmed that only the Mazda car seats would disable the passenger airbag.

I asked for him to send me the details of the seats, which he will hopefully be able to do but he did give me the prices:

Birth to 10kgs £125
9kgs to 18kgs £110
15kgs to 36kgs £99

So I think we will be purchasing the ordinary seat and putting it in the back.

That's what I was going to suggest to you in the other thread! You'll probably find that your missus wants the baby in the back with her for easy access anyway - it was a rare event that I put the baby in the front.

I don't suppose you found out how much the Isofix child seats for the rear were did you?

I am assuming that the least expensive seat is for older children as you don't see that many 36kg babys, do you?

Chris :D

I have absolutely no idea how much my kids weigh - especially in Kg's!

Well 36kgs is 5 stone 9 pounds

This is becoming a babycentre style discussion any more of this and my wife will want to join in.

Chris :D :D :D

It doesn't make much sense that the bigger seats cost less.:confused: I think the £99 will get a few years use where as the £125 one will only last few months.

Don't forget this is Mazda we are talking about here, what sense does any of it make.

Apart from taking peoples £1000 and holding on to it for 6 to 7 months.....

The bigger seat will just be a booster seat, without a back.

£99 for a booster!:eek:

I'm interested in the Isofix seat which has to have a back as it's anchor is a fitting behind the rear headrest. So Maybe that's the £110 seat?:confused:

It's actually not too bad - the mothercare Isofix seat is £170. If the UK one looks the same as the one in the hardback book we recieved then I won't mind paying the £10 extra.
