Does anyone know if the transit custom twin cabs have isofix seats in the back?
Thanks in advance!

Yes we have the same base, but it fixes to isofix and has the leg on it which stays in the car and then the seat just clips in. I'm only wondering as that's the seats we have but my eldest will be in a booster soon anyway soon so would only need to buy one if it's not isofix.
I had a DCiV and that had isofix in the back.

Yes it does according to the manual
Parent's have an isofix seat for my nephew, had a belt restrained type previously, isofix is far more secure and theirs has the front support leg (albeit there are top tether versions also (which seemingly the custom supports)
Dads Saab 9-3 is a pain to install as the fix points are hidden between the back and the base of the rear bench, mums new Fabia is a lot better, slight cut outs to make installing it a lot easier.
Latest advice is to use a booster with a back support
http://www.halfords.com/kids-zone/c...a-2-high-back-booster-seat-with-seatfix-black << now thats genius...car seat with its own speakers so sprogs can listen to their own music and styled in a relatively "cool" way... God thinking recaro
Thanks for they reply, that's brilliant! Yes the isofix with support leg that we have is excellent, so easy to install and use.
That's the exact booster we were looking at for my eldest now, glad it has the top teathed point as well.

As a side note, I've had a Transit Custom for the last 3 years and will get my new one tomorrow. Best van I've personally had so far and it's not been one bit of trouble.
For comparison, we also have a 15 plate Transporter and one of my customers has a 15 plate Vito and before the Custom we used to have the Renault Trafic.
My comparison to the VW and the Merc is based purely from a comfort and drivability and the extras that you can add for a "reasonable" price. I'm sure that the VW and Merc are "better" built and I know the auto box on the VW is second to none and will have much higher residuals but we only contract hire so that doesn't matter to me.

That's good to know. I hadn't even thought of one until I saw yours, it's just ideal with kids and still a good amount of space in the back. It wouldn't be until later in the year anyway, was just wondering as were getting new car seat.
Thanks for the comparison.

Yeh that would be cool to have a test drive! Looking forward to seeing that kit up and running now too.
