      <title><![CDATA[BRICK & GRID FABRIC SHORTAGE ]]></title>
      <link>https://www.banwy.co.uk/blog/BRICKGRID/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM RIB - T6.1 FABRICS ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://www.banwy.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/New_T6.1.jpg" width="500" /></strong></span></p>
<p>VW are busy getting the very last of the T6.1 vans off the production line which has had an effect on our fabrics.</p>
<p>VW in their wisdom have absorbed all the fabric stock. We dont expect this to last forever, but whilst the fabric is in constraint its important that we let you know.</p>
<p>We do have good stocks at the moment and some more coming off production. But once they are gone we cant be clear when they will be back in stock.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So seat trimmers keep any seat covers you take off in either of these fabrics just in case.</p>
<p>Worst case scenario is RIB run out and we have to produce the seats in 100% Titan, so the same as the existing just missing the centre panels in Brick or Grid</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://www.banwy.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/New_T6.1.jpg" width="500" /></strong></span></p>
<p>So the new T6.1 is available from VW, many of our customers are taking delivery over the next couple of months.</p>
<p>The burning question is when will the fabrics be available?</p>
<p>Well sadly VW arent very quick at releasing them for RIB so the earliest that we can start producing seats in 6.1 trims in January.</p>
<p>Trust me we have been trying to get the fabric for months!</p>
<p>So the first listing of 112s is <a href="https://www.banwy.co.uk/rib-seats/rib-seats-due-in-order-early-save-810/112-rib-seats-due-in-end-jan-2020.html" title="Seats due in" target="_blank">here, and they are all at early bird prices to save you even more.</a></p>

      <title><![CDATA[RIB Seats With Isofix]]></title>
      <link>https://www.banwy.co.uk/blog/isofixseats/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2><img height="67" src="https://www.banwy.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/traders/rib_category_header.gif" width="227" />RIB Seats With ISOFIX</h2>
<p>ISOFIX is sometimes we get asked a lot for and we are tempted to order all our RIB seats with ISOFIX. But this means increased costs for those who do not need it and we are just not sure that the demand is there. so feel free to let us know your thoughts!</p>
<p>An important consideration for anyone with child seats with an ISOFIX Seat is how it will fit in your camper. Please note that because a RIB seat is usually significantly higher than your standard car seat this will affect how an Isofix base fits.</p>
<p>An ISOFIX base with a leg is unlikely to reach the floor so this will compromise the safety of your seat. It's not a great idea to have to put a block under the seat leg to reach the floor, but that is the reality for some parents if they dont want to change car seats!</p>
<p><img src="https://www.banwy.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/isofix_leg.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></p>
<p>A RIB Seat with ISOFIX is best used with a top tether Isofix car seat. If you have ever wondered what this is on the back of your seat then this is where the top tether fabric strap that secures the child seat clips. In Europe this method is often seen in&nbsp; ISOFIX seats, certainly more than the UK.</p>
<p>Now argueably the ISOFIX base is very useful when you have a small baby and are clunk clicking their car seat in and out of the vehicle several times a day. But once they grow out of this seat quite often people will buy a seat without ISOFIX as once the seat is in place it wont get removed.</p>
<p>So just bear in this in mind before you buy your insist that your RIB seat comes with ISOFIX as you may find you need to buy a new car seat to make it work with the top tether.</p>
<p><img alt="Top tether" class="pull-right img-responsive img-rounded" src="http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/images/top-tether.jpg" style="float: left;" /></p>
