My little one is now big enough to use a booster seat so I want to fit one in the Tiger. The problem is that the seats (JK Composite) are narrower than most booster seats.

Does anyone know of a narrow make of booster seats or has anyone come up with a different idea?

Mark.

I have had (and still got) loads of booster seats.
I had some bucket seats in my old tin top and the only seats that would fit between the sides were the older style polysterene ones with a fabric cover. Pretty sure they were from Aldi or Lidl from many years back.
None of the more modern plastic moulded ones come close. Infact they are a struggle to get in a normal car seat.

So if I were you, try the car boor sales for the polystyrene type.

I couldn't find anything to fit and decided it was safer to wait until they were big enough to go in without one.

Stu

this is the type I mean...

UNIVERSAL 15-36 KG CHILD BOOSTER SEAT on eBay (end time 17-Mar-11 16:53:24 GMT)

In all honhestly google "Bubble bum". I got one for the car. fits perfect and works with all the belts. I bought one to take the 5 year old out in the car.

Cheers for the replies so far guys - with the bubble bum, did you just not inflate it fully so that it fitted into the hole in the seat as fully inflated it would probably be to wide?

no, mine is inflated fully. It is slimmer than others as it does not have any arms/lips at the side.

if you can wait a day or two I can measure?

Cheers

Yep, that would be great if you don't mind. If that works at least we could use it in other cars. If not, the one on ebay could be cut to shape.

I got a polystyrene one and trimmed the edges so that it fits snugley (if a word!) in the seat, my 4 year old has now been out a few times with me (only on gentle local drives and he loves it)

This was under a tenner from Makro. Unzipped the cover to shave a few mm off the polystyrene base and job done.

Do they still sell them though?

I got my polystyrene booster from 'Freecycle', I couldn't find one anywhere only the blown plastic type. I put a wanted request on my local Freecycle and had one within a couple of days

I got a expanded polystyrene one from ebay for about £5. I had to hotwire trim it a bit to fit into my seats, but it works well. You can just see a bit of it (yellow) here :-

Mark, I took a picture last night.




Hope that works, if not please look in my photo archive. As yu can see it is very narrow.

cheers
Craig

Excellent, thanks for the picture.

Looks like that's the best/easiest way to go.
