I would actually prefer her to be in the middle seat too, but the seats we have are way wobbly when I've tried it.

Mrsgrips – the seat in front is totally useable but being a fairly compact 3 series BM, it's tighter than usual. Seat back needs to be nearish vertical and it's three notches from fully back. Mrs Matt is fine in it (she's 5'7").

In a really small car, it's too tight TBH.

It's def something to look into. Thanks.

Ours is also about the "deepest" model you can get – others take up less space. They're now available at a few UK dealers; in fact just after I'd paid not far off £350 for ours (imported), I noticed a couple of UK shops selling them for well under £300 – DOH!!

Doh Indeed 🙂
