Phil, It sounds to me like the suspension might need to be bled correctly, it should be silent.

How about that...I guess I have a pair of EvenFlos, not Coscos. So my last email refers to these. Thanks for the pix Craig.

Thanks to all. I will try to get one of the Evenflo when I am in LA in a few weeks time.

Craig, can you explain the noise the rear suspension makes? I was told it is fluid in the self levelling mechanism.

This Evenflo booster seat fits perfect in the rear seat of my 456. the model number is 245119. It's perfect because the bottom side is completly rounded and has no rough edges to scuff the seat. I purchased it at Toys r us or Target. About 25.00. Craig.Upload

Simpson Racing also sells a nice child seat.

I am travelling but I know that the Cosco boosters (I think they are Cosco) will fit in a 456. If you take a look at hte models at Toys-R-Us, they are the bottom only boosters with arms that come up and insure the lap belt rides at the hips.

My children are 4 and 7. The car seats I use in the 456 are both Klippan; 'the baby' sear is predominantly blue with one red side and one yellow side; sounds odd but looks OK. The booster is Klippan too, and is quite square (as opposed to rectangular), made of hard plastic with a cloth cover attached by velcro. Neither fits perfectly, but they do fit and they're lightweight. I was worried they would mark the leather; I have what used to be a padded activity blanket to put behind the baby seat, and a Moses basket mattress covered in a blanket which I tuck round the back of the booster (more comfortable for my daughter too). After more than two years regular use, the seats are still in perfect condition.

Bear in mind that the seat shape changed from the original GT to the MGT- they are more deeply scooped on the M.

Hope that helps

Kevin

Phil:
I use the Recaro that Izel mentioned. It is really a nice booster, but is rather heavy if you need to travel with it, or switch it between vehicles. We opted for a pair of them. We have them in the Pcars, and in my QV. I'm sure it will fit in the 456( I'm looking for one now) The all black version is really attractive for a child seat!

I saw Recaro made child seats like seats in the race cars. It was quite pretty but i don't know if it will fit your car.
Better to check their site www.recaro.com

I would appreciate recommendations for a child booster seat (for age 6/7) that fits nicely into the rear seat of a 456.

Thanks.
