Hello there folks, I would like to take my baby daughter out in the 355 as I did in the 328. Top plan because I got kudos points from the missus, and I got to spend quality time with my daughter in the Ferrari! Problem is, the 355 has airbags. Anyone know if it is safe to install a forward facing child-seat in a seat with an air bag? (warning picture on car shows rear facing seat as a no-no.) Alternatively, anyone know the implications/costs of having the passenger airbag uninstalled/deactiveated? Cheers, Robert.
not safe whether front or rear facing I was told. Are you sure there's not a deactivation button/lock. I have one in my Maserati.
Could be wrong, but i think Verdi has designed a baby seat to fit between 355 seats. You'll have to check with him. T
I've heard of this before, not sure how safe though & I'm sure you'd have serious insurance implications.
I had the switch in my Maserati, which I thought was a brilliant idea, but its the only car I have seen it in, I cant understand why more cars dont have it, especially two seaters.
Cheers- There is no switch sadly. As you say, this would be a good idea. Porsche have one available (Ferrari please note) for the Carrera, as has a friend's £10k new Citroen. I will make enquiries of Verdi's re his child seat, which sounds like a fine plan. And my insurance co re possible implications... I'll let you know of progress. Robert.
