hi all
just ordered my scirocco gt tdi 140bhp today, and have thrown the law book out the window. im trading in my 07 honda crv for this dream car and cant wait. however we have a 13 month old and was wondering if anybody else is managing with a child seat in the back>? i know we will be fine, but its the only slight concern i have. That and an 8 week wait for the car!!!!!!!!1

Re: BABY SEAT
Hi there I have a two year old and the seat fits perfectly in the back and he has plently of leg room. Seats seem raised in the back so he has a good view out the sides and forward.
He loves the car as much as me!

Re: BABY SEAT
No problem,
ive been ferrying my 18 month old nephew around in the back of mine with no real problems, okay so its not great, but provided your not a fat b*stard, you can easily get them in / out of the rear seat, only problem is the high windows, he tends to get bored because he cant see out!

Re: BABY SEAT
Well, yesterday I had my first journey with kids in the back - twin girls who turn two today. It honestly wasn't that difficult.
The only awkward bit was guiding the top parts of the seatbelts through the chairs; I couldn't see in the sides at all so I had to do it by feel. That all depends on what kind of seats you're using though.
The girls were happy in the back and managed to fall asleep OK, but the one was behind me was a bit short on leg room because I'm 6 foot 2. She was OK but I couldn't recline her as much as we would normally. But hey, it's for occasional use only, they'll be in the C-max most of the time!
Plus, all the crap they needed for a night away - high chairs etc. - managed to fit in the boot along with all my work gear. Ha, take that naysayers! Practical AND stylish!

Re: BABY SEAT
im amazed just how practical this car can be given its size etc, ive had no problems with my 2 year old nephew and 6 month old niece, okay so its not ideal, but its far from a struggle, and the front seats pull forward enough for you to get good access to the back seats.
So far ive used mine to dump masses of building material, and haul furniture on 5 hour trips from london. stylish and practical!
