However, they don't stay babies for long, some car seats are not recommended for lap belts but I have a britax that despite the recommended 3 point harness will take the rear seat out before the baby seat moves! Used it all summer! I have another on the way, so wifey (most likely me) will be in the back with the now 3year old and baby in the front. Another 6 months and for the miles we drive I may well abandon the kids seat in the back and just use a lap belt.
That said it your kids safety. I've also discovered u can't put the hood down for long due to the breeze!
Tbh is a pain in the a.se if it wasn't for dedication and love of mk1 for the right offer I'd sell the cabby for a tin top (or dare I say it a mk2!)

Hi mate
I would just keep an open mind finding either one in good condition is the most important thing.
But saying that at the shows last year I did have some tin top owners taking the Micky saying that my 87 cabby was just a mark 2 in disguise !! Lol
Cheers
Neil
That's true mate. I am not fussed about mileage or age. As long as its a decent one.

also the tin tops seem to be selling for stupid money at the moment where as you can pick a cabby up for a lot cheaper. more money to spend on the children (or that's what you can tell the wife!)

Tintops are driven by people who settle for second best!
I own 4 Cabs and am ashamed to say I bought 2 Tintops just to see if I was missing anything, BIG mistake!
2 tintops.
3 cabbies, 1 with G60 power, just for fun.
Volvo T5, just for fun.
3.1Ltr V6 Dutton Leggera, just for fun.
Renault 5 GT Turbo, just a money pit!
Several boring cars, just no fun!

Thanks fella's. looks like cabby's are getting the thumbs up. I loved my old one, and said I would never sell it! I will stick the tt up for sale - and make room for a cabby. I have been looking everyday, but have not seen anything yet. Fingers crossed it
won't be too long.
You could make me an offer…
