Rear Facing Car Seat?
Hello all - i am close to pulling the trigger on a 2017 C63 sedan. My question to everyone is how well does the C class hold up with a rear facing car seat / family duties(passenger side rear)? My concern is how much room would it leave for the passenger up front (wife is 5 ft tall / 1 y/o son).
We are currently in an ML, and the wife is not happy with the size of the vehicle. she prefers a car. so i figure it is between the C63 and the E class. Granted i know the E class is bigger, but I'm wondering if i can get away with a car the size of a C class.
I will be going to do a test fit prior to finalizing the deal, but i was wondering if i can get some real world experience from families.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

My son's 4, so he's front facing, which I know is completely different. Rear facing takes up SO much room, but your wife isn't too tall so you may have a shot. Definitely try a test fit, I think that's the only way.

it will be fine. The passenger seat will have to be pushed forward, but if she sits in it usually, then it will all work out.
The only scenario that will be tough (assuming you are taller than your wife) is if she drives often, and you are the passenger.
