Does anyone know if an NA1 model has ISOFIX?

I need to install this ...

And I know I'm too old for all this crap, but hey, an NSX is for life, not just for Christmas!

Now that's not nice! Does the cute baby not have a name "I need to install this ..."
As for ISOFIX sorry can't help there.

Did Isofix even exist back in the day of the NSX? I would say no.....all babies are cute at that age...possibly, even Wayne Rooney was too!!

Obviously be aware of the passenger airbag issue if your age car has one??

No they don't have ISOFIX.

However you may be able to still fit a baby seat.

ISOFIX is a great idea but all the baby seat companies have all built great big things that are way over kill IMO. I only found this out after spending all my cash on a ISOFIX system, then worked out it was safer just to use the cars seatbelt.

If the child in your post is yours then they should only be in a rear facing child seat, and these can't go in a front seat of car with an airbag, unless you can turn the airbag off, which in an NSX you can't unless you have one of the first NSX's which did not come with a passenger airbag as standatd IIRC.

Suppose I should have done the introduction first.

Her name's Sophie, she's 3 weeks old today, and her mother has no intention of letting me take her for a spin in something so 'unsuitable'.
She has, however, hijacked my CRV just to make sure they're both safe.
Suppose that means I'm stuck with the NSX. :D

I remember my younger days, perched in the middle of the rear bench seat of my dad's Hillman Super Minx ready to be launched through the windsceen should the worst happen. No seatbelts, ISOFIX child seats, airbags, ABS, traction control, laws etc.
We did have luck though, and that seems to have served us well.

I wouldn't like to rely on that now, it was okay for Memory Lane, but not the A1 in the rush hour!

A big NSXCB welcome to Sophie!

As Paul says, rear facing ONLY for at least the next 6-9 months from memory, so that rules out any trips in the NSX. You can fit forward facing kiddie seats in the NSX, your only restriction will be finding one that fits neatly onto the lap cushion between the cushion bolsters.

But it can be done .... and here's my little bundle on joy at a few months ... Mia is now aged 4, at school and always keen for a drive around the block in Daddy's whooshy car!

Congrats and regards ...

I just use a Recaro baby seat in the S2000.

Remember though, rear facing (stage 1) car seats are illegal in front seats.
