Car underfloor storage box fillers

Millem

Hi all,

Has anyone bought the filler things for those underfloor storage box things in cars? If so did you just order them from the garage?
They are such a pain
According to britax site I need them to use one of my car seats.
Thanks a mil.

They came with my car, but I have heard of other people buying them directly from main dealers. Thankfully the leg of my seat goes to the floor if the lid is off

Ok on britax site it says I need those stupid fillers. Omg would you believe I never even looked in them....do you think they might be filled? Car mats are over them!
Seriously why do they put them in cars aimed at families!!!!

I actually opened them up....such a waste sure what would you even fit bar a golden pages!!!!
They haven’t been filled but the leg extends to reach the real floor. Is this safe now?
The leg can’t miss the box as box is too wide
I will ring garage on Tuesday for the filler. Tried to google it online under parts but no joy.
I have a TWE for him anyway so can use that for him anyway.

I had my minikid fitted by the rsa, and they put the leg to the ground. I don’t know if it varies between seats though?

Would they not of just used the filler and put the lid on?

I think some seats aren’t supposed to go on top of storage boxes, even with fillers. I didn’t really ask TBH, just let them get on with it!

That one is fine to go on top of the filled box. I don’t know about an unfilked box though. I think some cars have reinforced lids on the boxes. If you can get to a check it fits, I’d highly recommend. They know everything about these things! Or ring Tony Kealys. They might help

Hi All;

Jumping back on this thread. Has anyone filled these storage boxes to put the isofix expanding leg on.

We have one car seat and the leg extends as far as the floor, but need to install a second which doesn't extend that far.
