any body any experence of fitting baby seats and fitting a baby into it?
we both have been back into the showroom to check on rear access. its a bit of lean into the back but felt i was leaning in to far.

Re: babies and the rock
It's pretty easy if you actually stand in the rear foot well rather than trying to lean across.

Re: babies and the rock
I have a rear facing childseat in the front seat (and airbag turned off). Very easy to put the little girly in.
No, there is no ISO-FIX in the front, but You can still use one of these:
http://hts.no.spock.kontrollpanelen.se/ ... ctions.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If You expect to remove the seat offent, then get an ISO-FIX, to ensure correct fitment every time.
I will strongly recommend using a rear facing seat, because 90% of all serious accidents are front impact.
AND only buy a seat that has been tested independently (and won). You won't believe how bad the cheap child seats are!

Re: babies and the rock
I have twin girls who are 23 months old so, um, it's not really the ideal car. But my wife has a C-max which we use 90% of the time at weekends anyway.
Still don't have my 'roc but I tested our front-facing car seats in a top-spec model in my local VW garage. The sales guy didn't look hugely impressed - nice leather seats and everything. I also had to make sure I could get a set of extendable ladders in the boot for work (you can, by the way).
See? Stylish, and pratical!
