girlfriend is pregnant should the saxo go

[ldavies]

well had some great news last week found out that my partner is pregnant with our second child and im so happy about this.
the only problem is that my partner says that when shese had our second child the saxo should go as its not big enough for me and her and 2 children in there car seats lol.
would be gutted to see it go lol

[LeeM]

[JamesR]

Or garage and get a bigger car for normal driving.

[shaunyboy]

[flowersGTR]

im pretty sure you can get 2 child seats in the back of a saxo no probs

[Bickerton]

Wouldn't transport my family about in a saxo, they're a deathtrap!

[mattknight1984]

Exactly, and the reason I got rid when my little boy was born.

[Basley]

[PETE-VTR]

and a 106 isnt?

[Mochachino]

Ford Sierra GL, perfect family car.

[PETE-VTR]

tell her that changing cars costs lots of moneys...

then tell her a second child is going to cost lots of moneys too and she will change her mind.

although it may backfire completely and she'l tell you to get rid of it for the cash:P

haha good luck

[Bickerton]

and a 106 isnt?

What the fuck?

[stompin-sarah]

ive got a saxo and ive also got 3 kids! aged 4 6 and 8 and they fit ok.... bearing in mind i need to use a car seat and also a booster seat in the back.... oldest sits in the middle................so keep it :)

Lose the saxo if you moving your family about ;)

[Nij]

keep the saxo - thats the advise i would give....but it is all down to funds at the end of the day mate.

[rosco27]

congrats. Shame to have to get rid of the saxo but do what you have to.....

[saxovtsmad]

congrats mate dont sell the saxo just get another cheap family run around i got the mrs a picasso

[TOM_VTS666]

i'll just keep in a garage mate, and get some nice reliable estate, then everyone's happy!!

[Saxo_Steveo]

Wouldn't transport my family about in a saxo, they're a deathtrap!

Lol so true

[Mr_P]

Yerh, Get a VTS instead. Much safer....


You get more airbags :y:

[laura_g]

Probs best to get rid because of how unsafe they are, but congrats on the news why dont you get a clio... estate lol

[Luke]

Definately get rid, I wouldn't even be asking to be honest.

Kids are without a doubt more important than a Saxo and I personally wouldn't put a child in a Saxo - I got rid of mine for a Focus, then moved onto a 307.

Without a doubt! I dont have kids yet but my step brother does and soon as he found out he was to be a fatehr he sold the saxo for a golf!

Its all about the safety, its not like your going to be going fast with a kid in the back whatever you drive

[Darlo-paul]

I got rid of my saxo because Im not prepared to risk the lives of anyone in my car, tbh a seat ibiza isn't the safest of cars, buts its a 3 star rather than a 2 star, abit more solid if you ask me.

[Fulch]

Skoda Fabia VRs ftw the win, its quick its desiel and it has 5 doors

[Giraffe]

Or an Octavia VRs, or a BMW 320d or higher...

[turnip]

This is exactly what i was thinking:n:

Tin can ftw :y:

Exactly.

Kids are the most precious item you'll ever have.

[wiggyk1]

Keep the Saxo, Girlfriend goes?

If your not too keen on that idea for some strange reason, get this bad boy on your drive?

[wiggyk1]

Or this, looks better, nicer wheels!

[lewy]

firstly, congrats on the news.

secondly, don't even consider her feelings when it comes to the car. The car loves you more.

[bonesvtr]

ive got a 9 week old daughter and hate having to cart her about in the saxo, she cant go in my offroader because the back has all been stripped out for recovery gear and subs!:fcuk: and its shite on diesel anyway! we were supposed to be getting a leon cupra 150tdi whwn she was still pregnant but beacause of lack of security because ive had loads of addresses in the last 3 years (due to being in the RAF and splitting with exes and stuff) we couldnt get the finance, and cant get a new car at the min because shes not working we are living off my wage. dont get me wrong im on a good wage, i earn more than her and her ex used to earn together on my own but the cost of living round here is quite steep. so getting this saudi job more than doubles what im on now so she can have a new car then. if i were you mate id get yourself an old passat or something like that for a decent price and just run it into the ground and then keep your saxo as your plaything, you need some time on your own to play with something otherwise youll go mad!lol

congrats mate anyway!

p.s sorry for the long read......:oops:

[saxojamesb]

buy a cheap family car then track the saxo lol thats what i am doing lol

[newpersn]

saxo are alright for tall people. i'm 6ft3. but yea there tin cans. same with the escort i had.

get a golf or vectra and keep the saxo

my dad got a 97 vectra 2.0 5Door dunno if hes gonna sell it and use my car

[martin_88]

Somethng safer me thinks.
2 kids in a tin can? - safety first now.

[Mystic]

2 adults and 3 young children is the perfect combination of people to fit 5 comfortably in a saxo tbh.

Once the kids are teenagers then you might need a bigger car.

[newpersn]

wink wink: that vecta is alright. round town is crap on fuel but on motorway its alright. (when i driven it. i'm hevery footed)

[Giraffe]

If we're selling Vectra's here, I'll sell you my 2.0 DTi Club on an 04' plate for £2,200 if you want it? lol

[Natalie]

im pretty sure you can get 2 child seats in the back of a saxo no probs

You won't get rear facing seats in the back of the saxo. We went to pick up 2 maxi cosi car seats we won on ebay for the twins in the VTR and they don't fit properly. They weren't straight on the back seat and they were on an angle up against the front seats. I personally won't be taking the twins in the saxo when they come. I don't think it's safe enough for them and don't want to risk it.

I would say sell the saxo if it was your family car. But if she has a 5 door 206 I don't see why you need to get rid of your car? I didn't want to take the boys around in the saxo but I didn't want to get rid of it either lol. So my boyfriend is using the saxo everyday and I'm going to use the family car, that way when I go out without them I can use the saxo still

Congrats on the impending new addition too

Deal on a VTR? Hahahaha.

Definitly get a "safer" car mate ... also gives you all more room and a better ride ...

[0rang3peel]

If it was me I would keep the saxo, not worth the hassle considering there is still quite alot of room left. I agree playing with the seatbelts may be a bit of hassle but so is getting a new car. Entirely you're choice though, personally I wouldnt have any safety issues with them being in a saxo either..

[WorthingSaxoVTR]

girlfriend should go and keep the saxo
