Bucket seats and booster seats

[novalew]

Hey all
Ain't been on in ages, hope you are all well.

I have a dilemma, I'm planning on bucket seats and a cage for the nova but my boy is only 4 although he is the size of a 6 year old. He is currently in a booster seat (backless) and I want him to enjoy the nova to. Does anyone use a booster seat in a bucket seat with harnesses

I Don't use a booster seat with a bucket mate but I'm pretty sure it will be unsafe as it will probably sit on top of the seat sides rather then in the seat. Best bet is to keep the standard gear while he's a bit older.

I used a booster seat with my little chap when he was younger - I have Sparco Torino's however the bolsters aren't huge and the base sat flat on the seat cushion without problems.

So the only way is with reclining buckets not fixed. I suppose I could have one of each

Bairns in cars with rollcages AND sat in buckets with no doubt sh1t ribbon thick 3point harnesses.whats wrong with people these days.

I just want him to be able to see over the dash

is something like this no good ?

i woulda thought as long as its properly securely mounted, so it cant go anywhere, it should be ok with seatbelts running over the top ?

That seat doesn't look properly located in the bucket.


the core problem with buckets is they tend to be flat and rarely tilted back so in an accident a child could submarine out of the bottom of the harness.

Of course its your own risk assessment and you could always get a cheapy £10 booster and trim it to fit the bucket.

He only uses one of these. I was just wondering what others had done. I may take some measurements of boosters and buckets

I was planning on running harnesses but I could run a seat belt on pass side for him
