Can anyone recommend me a child's car seat that fits the S2000? It will be for my 7 year old and I am looking at something like this;

I'd recommend:-

1) Searching for this on the UK section of S2ki - those guys have probably asked all possible questions already. If not, register on there and post it there...you'll get many more answers

2) Googling for 'narrow child booster seat', and see what results come back.


Ideally you want a high-back booster - the biggest safety benefit for older kids (beyond getting them high enough up that the seatbelt doesn't cut-across the neck!) is the headrest, particularly ones with wings that wrap-around. But...at 7y.o. you'll probably only need it for +/- 2 years - 135cm is the legal requirement, and by 140cm they'll probably be outgrowing it. So unless they've a younger sibling, spending £100+ on a car seat for 2-3 years would feel a bit silly...

For reference, I found a cheap Britax high-back booster seat when I was looking for the NSX - the Discovery SL, currently £60 on Amazon. It's got a narrow-enough squab that it fits between the bolsters safely, but I know the S2000 is a narrower car inside, so it's worth getting some dimensions off the mfrs website (or call them - Britax customer services are genuinely very helpful) and compare vs the transmission-tunnel-to-door width you've got in the car.

Years ago I asked a Honda dealer the same question - They advised me to put my children in the back seats because it was safer.


We were standing next to an S2000 in the showroom (with it’s roof down) at the time...
