We have an Audi A3 and are considering buying a BeSafe IZI combi rear-facing child seat for DS who is coming up to 11 months and about 1 good growth spurt short of growing out of his Maxicosi infant seat.
The seat is approved for our car, but getting it in means putting the passenger seat forward almost as far as it will go. As I am only 5 foot 3 and my husband is the main driver this needn't be a problem, but he is concerned about how much being so close to the airbag/dashboard etc. might compromise my safety in the event of a crash.
Does anyone have this seat in and A3? How have you found it? Or has anyone got a different RF seat which works well in this car? Alternatively any suggestions about how we can research the possible effect for the passenger of having the seat so far forward?
Thanks
