Hey, guys... does anyone have a car seat in their XK8? I'm 5'8", so there should be a lil leg rm and I have to fit 2 booster/car seats. My lil ones are small...

I've been searching for another XJ but my desire is an 03' XK8 or XKR coupe or conv if I can find the right coupe. I'm looking for leads for preferably in order of color: white, black, silver, sand... excellent condition @ a great price point. If there's no warranty on it I will purchase one... I'll hate to purchase the XJ without at least testing the Xk waters.

Any leads, please let me know! And if you can look @ the car that'll be great!

Our grandson is 2 yrs old so we are still using a full size car seat. I,m 6' 1 and the boss is 5' 3, it a tight fit but it works on the back seat passinger side. Had to put a pad under the left side of the car seat to keep it level. Have tried a booster and it is a much better fit. Will have it wait to use it due to his age. The first thing he says when we get him hooked up :Is top down!!

 

I have 2 boosters (twins) in mine . The twins are 6 and have plenty of room,but for how much longer I dont know.Go ahead and buy one,or better yet buy mine.

 

Thanks guys! Any pictures....? Just one....!

Dad2twins, what year, color & miles...? Pix?

 

Also, to maximize rear seat room, go for a Coupe rather than a Convertible.

Include those car seat in the rear pix too..

 

did you get the ones I sent?

 

Have a look at https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...r-53622/page2/ I have a special small car seat I brought over from Europe and it is still quite tight in the back...

 

I sent you an email... thanks

 

Thanks... that's a real tight fit! Gotta figure this out!

 

I drive with a child seat daily. Recently switched to a booster seat. It definitely works rear passenger however if you're tall, rear driver may be a bit tougher unless your litte one doesn't mind keeping their legs off to the side for a bit.

 

Just be prepared for constant cleaning... foot prints, hand prints, messes, excess rubbing/friction.... I generally used a towel behind the full size seat and now I use one underneath the booster and on the back of the bucket seat.
