airbag switch for Golf Cabrio MK 3.5

[stevenYM]

Thanks Golf Loon & Brad. Will have to find a local wreckers yard for that resistor plug...

Thanks also for the kind wishes but the new baby isn't supposed to be arriving for 6 months or so...I am planning ahead!!

Brad's quite right about the car seat maneouvres on the back seat, but the other reason is that we're carrying 3 other children in the back already!!!

In fact we bought the car because its the only car I could find that could effectively be a 5 seat cabriolet!! (if you ignore some really ancient and rubbish Ford escort cabriolets!)

Because the Golf Mk3 has isofix anchors, and because they're evenly spaced, we have an isofix middle rear car seat and still have two rear passenger seats with 3 point belts!!

Anyway its good that we won't be having any more children after this next one...

Thanks again

But what about all the associated kids stuff? One of the main reasons I sold my Cabrio was because despite the largish boot, nothing would fit through the opening and I was constantly carting stuff on the back seat.

Yeah, props for running a Golf cabrio, with a growing family... One Less MPV!

But - where do you fit the prams?

: )

At the moment the Cabrio works pretty well as a family car during the week and for trips to shops. A lightweight stroller and a changing bag fit in the boot. There's even room for shopping... as long as you don't buy anything big - which because of the kids we can't afford anyway!!

For trips further away though,when you need to bring a suitcase or 2 we have to use the MPV. I agree that if the cabrio was our only car we wouldn't cope.

When the 4th child arrives - I'll just let the wife drive the car with the kids and I'll just stay at home - for peace and quiet atlast!!

So in conclusion - with the way the seats are set up, the Cabrio will be fine during the week... even after the new arrival - as long as I can disable the airbag!
