Child seat in a Ferrari F430 (scud)

Dear Ferrari owners.

I'm currently selling my 997 GT3 that i've owned for the last 5 years. I have a 2 year old son and enjoy taking short drives together with him. Therefore i retrofitted ISOFIX and airbag deactivation in my GT3 in order to make sure that he can enjoy a safe ride with me.

After the GT3 will be sold I actually thougth I'll buy an F430 scuderia but the local Ferrari dealer couldn't answer my question regarding a child seat.

Does anybody know if it's possible to securely install a child seat in the Scud?

Yes. I had a scud and used my car seat from my turbo. I used the seat belt to secure it in the adjusted the seat to make sure the belts were tight

There is a key switch on passenger side to disable the air bag

can't find a Scud with that key switch in Switzerland. that must have been special only for US models, European models don't have them as it seems.

thanks for the info tho!!
