not sure about cmax but had focus st with and the fittings went in on carpet just under seats. remember look at it well before driving off ,if your not happy dont drive away(bit of a pain i know). but its their error and you have every right to refuse it . it maybe right up underneath so have a good look. as these seats are removable that may be why the have to modify a bit. on focus only the backs fold down so no way of getting underneath.I know this is not the answer you wanted but hope it helps.
ISOFIX - Urgent!! Thanks :)
You may have seen my post in the newbies section about picking up my C-Max on Tuesday. Well we now have the car and so far i'm really pleased.
One of the things i asked the dealer to do was to fit ISOFIX attachments to the rear seats, they ordered the parts but they didn't arrive in time for them to be done before i collected the car.
They have called today and said that the seats themselves will need to bit cut to insert the attachments to the bars inside the seats

Has anyone had this done or done it themselves?
I'm a bit nervous as the car has nice black leather that they will be cutting!

Thanks so much For your quick response! I have emailed your pic to the manager atmy dealership along with a quote from another person who had the same issue! I cannot believe they told me it was not possible to add it post manfacture!!!! we returned the car seat to the shop and everything!!!! Hoping they still have one in stock cos it is getting pretty close to the time we are gonna need it!!
Thanks again for your help - my dealer is normally fab - know them verywell but on this issue they seem foxed!

No problems Sarah, glad to help!
Our friends who also have the C-Max were told by Mothercare that they could not have the Maxi-Cosi Easy BAse in their C-Max because it has the false floor over their storage area and the stabilising pole would not reach the main floor if the false one was taken out. They refused to sell them one. Well it's the same as what we have fitted to the C-Max and the pole reaches the floor perfectly well!!
Sometimes these 'experts' make mistakes.
In case the dealer cannot find the Info from Fordmine was fitted by John Grose in Ipswich if they want to call them instead!!
Good luck with the Baby - My little girl is 12 weeks now and was the reason we brought the C-Max, we are very happy with it

While this is going on, have you looked at other car seats that need only a seat belt?
I have two boys (5 & 1) and the seats that I got only needed the seat belt to hold the seat in place.
Both were excellent and the one my youngest boy has, well I just wish I could sit in it! Pull it forward and becomes a bed

Hi Sarah, my word you never stop do you!!sarahbobs said:
Did you have a little Boy or Girl in the end?
Regarding the group 1 seats we haven't even looked yet and our little girl is now 7 months and growing well. We've been advised to keep her rear facing for as long as possible as long as the seat we have still fits fine (and it does) so you've got plenty of time yet
I think the whole idea of isofix is that everything will fit, i guess some better than others in certain cars but they all should work fine.
I guess we ought to start thinking about it soon, once we've had a look i'll post my thoughts....
