Congratulations on the new baby.

Just a short word of advice - Start shopping around now for a baby seat.

Unlike me who arrived home with my new pride and joy Monaro only to find the baby seat doesn't fit - Even though I checked the manufacturers (Britax) website and it said it did.

The rear seat belt is to short to go over a rear facing rocker seat also.

Might be worth having a really good look around - I did notice that the Vauxhall technical book that comes with the car does mention a car seat or two.

I also hear Recaro might make one that suits

Would be a shame to give up your car.

PS - Getting kids (i have two, a 3 year old and a 7 month old) into the back is not as bad as the missus might make out.

Recc the Recaro one, about £200 but very well made and goes from 9 mnths to 9 years.

Thanks for the kind words - The Recaro one sounds cool.
Looks like I'll start my baby shopping early

nice scan....

OH MY GOD - yup thats me, what a small world.

I occasionally bump into him, last time was at a boxhill jap car meet when he had a 200SX.

[vixpy1]

He's still got the 200sx, I've seen your Holden about in Knaphill. Also used to see your girlfriend ?? in the wrx down by the ind estate occasionally.

[Dan_the_man]

Charlie you must be my personal stalker that was my girlfriend but shes recently been upgraded to my wife, quite a costly upgrade and comes with a few niggling issues such as more nagging and less time to go down the pub but I'm working on this, however one plus is that the wife upgrade has produced a bun in the oven.

I was hoping to come to your RR day this Saturday but I have my works xmas do in Birmingham which is a shame, sounds like it's going to be an excellent day.

[vixpy1]

Well, congratulations on the wedding and the 'bun'

feel free to drop me an email if you want the Holden running on evening or weekend.

[dan_the_man]

Thanks for the offer I may well do that.

Speaking of stalking, would I be right in thinking you have a blue Subaru estate (rr livery down the side) as I was outside your house at the lights tonight when you arrived home, sounds lovely that flat4 !
