Subject:      Q re: newly acquired 1997 EVC
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

It's here, it's here! We brought our 97 EVC home to
Miami from Ft. Myers yesterday. Todd, my husband,
drove it home and he said it drove great.

It's a 1997 with 23,300 miles on it. And, it's still
under VW warranty for a while because it did not go
into service until 5/98.

A question that has been bugging me. We will be
making a major trek across the country in August when
we move out to LA. We plan on taking about 6 weeks
and going through Canada. We have a 4 month old
daughter. She will be about 9-10 months during the
trip. My dilemma is where to place her car seat.

My options:

1. Have passenger side airbag removed (is this
possible?) and put her seat in the front seat.

2. Put her seat in the front seat and have the front
seat turned facing the rear (is it possible to lock
the seat in this position?)

3. Somehow mount her seat to the floor where the
middle seat would be if we had it in.

4. Put her seat in the rear bench. (probably the
safest, but definitely the most inconvenient. This
would require that someone sit back there, that we
move her seat everytime we make the bed, that we make
the bed everytime we drive, and in general seems like
it would suck.)

Thanks for your input!

Alexis
