Hi everybody..
My wife and I are expecting twin girls in August. In the midst of all the anticipation and planning, we are wondering if there is any prep or things we can do to help preserve or at least minimize the impact of the kids on our cars' interior.
Kids will primarily be in the wagon, currently with leather seats (from an 01 GTI). The sedan has stock cloth seats in back, but they won't spend as much time in there, if at all. So, as is my usual, the questions:
(1) Anything to be done to 'prep' the car for the arrival / use of 2 car seats? I know that the seats are supposed to attach to those metal latches underneath the seats...does anything go down to protect the leather from damage?
(2) Anything to be done to protect / help minimize the impact of 2 kids in the car?
(3) Any other tips and tricks?
Something tells me we may be kidding ourselves and we're just totally screwed - but thought we'd ask. We love our TDI's, especially the wagon and want to do anything we can to help her endure.
All serious / helpful and mocking / irreverent responses are welcome. These are our first kids, obviously...I'm 40 and she's 37...so here's to hoping patience and flexibility improves with age...
