Hi,
Long time away from the forum but the A2 is still going strong, no plans to change it out at the moment even with 110,000 miles on the clock!
I have a question for all the parents out there... We are currently looking for an extended rear facing car seat to fit the A2 due to them providing much better protection. However as the UK are way behind Europe on this there is very little information/stockists of these seats. In order to get a seat fitted by an experienced shop we would need to travel from Aberdeen to Milton Keynes, Wiltshire or Belfast(!) The seats tend to be much bigger than normal front facing seats (and cost a LOT more) so its not a purchase we want to make on the off chance it fits ok. We have seen a couple of seats online that have the A2 listed in the official fitment list but there is nothing to beat the experience of someone who has owned and lived with the car/seat combinations!!
I was therefore wondering if anyone on the forums had any experience with an extended rear facing car seat fitted in the A2? Particularly the amount of leg room for those in the front with the model they have? I believe that these are pretty much standard for children up to the age of 4 in Sweden and other parts of Europe so if any of the members in those countries have any information on this it would be much appreciated!! If necessary I will be importing the car seat from Europe...
Thanks,
RDufton
