Been using this since he was 3. He’s 5 now and it also works great in the backseat of newly acquired RSQ8.

Are you guys deactivating the front passenger air bag or just being extra cautious?

No, that’s something to be extra cautious about.

There’s weight sensors that will prevent them from being activated. My 3yo doesn’t trigger it yet, not sure what the threshold is though.

Volvo has the perfect child seat for the LWBs. I use it in my 718 Spyder for my 4y daughter. Works perfectly and looks great. sorry no pictures

@Mooty - can you give me a steer on what booster seat that is? I want to get one for my 996 that has the same Recaro's (996 GT2) in it, but not sure what will fit.

this is exactly what we do, seat all the way up in all the way back whether it’s for a booster or a more aggressive booster, my brother he’s an engineer and did some studies on airbags, he always says keep the airbag as far away from you as possible. By the way my kids do not activate the airbag at their current weight.

Is there any indication that the airbag is deactivated?
