amv8 to db9?

[stanwan]

Well.... Now that I'm a dad I really can't justify keeping the vantage as it only has 2 seats. I suggested to my wife that i should take a driving holiday with the baby and leave her at home - she wasn't too amused.

So....
Can the db9 fit a child safety seat in the back? Should I aim for a higher mileage 05/06 or an earlier 04 car. How a good a deal can you come up with?
My car is Meteorite/black cherry vantage 2007 (March) 4200 miles. Sat Nav, HIDs, Heated Seats, shiny grille, bluetooth, 19" wheels, mudflaps, locking nuts, auto-dimming RVM and alarm upgrade.

Not sure that you can get a rear-facing child seat in the DB9 - front-facing will (just) work.

But where will you put the clobber? Get a RR S/C and keep the V8.

Must say I agree with AstonZagato

Pre-ordered a DB9 and cancelled when I saw it in the flesh and later purchased an AMV8. Unless you're "vertically challenged" and drive with your nose touching the steering wheel, the back seats are next to useless for children. So little leg room. Might be different for a very young child sitting in a baby seat with legs in the air so to speak.

I wouldn't go quite that far. It is easy to get a small child (up to about 10) behind the passenger. I'm 6'0" and any sort of passenger behind me is a challenge but it is possible (though not comfortable for either of us).
