The '09 Avant/Sedan are larger than previous years. I've had no problem with my (tall) 3 year old in the rear of my '09 Avant. I'm 6'3" and my wife is 5'8" so the seats are back a fair amount. Coming from a Volvo XC70 I did notice a significant loss in trunk/hatch space which may be a concern for the first couple years of a baby's life. Baby's come with a ton of gear but it drops off pretty quick and by the time they're about 2 it's not an issue anymore. The A6 would help here.


There is a video (link below) with someone showing a baby seat installed in the A4 wagon but (as someone else has mentioned) the brand/style of seat used really makes a difference.

My only problem is that I want to keep my car pristine, so I've enforced a strict no food policy and only Daddy tested/approved drink containers. I've also put a protector behind the passenger seat (for kicking) and under the baby seat.


Good Luck.

Britax Marathon fit perfect in the middle rear facing. With the seats design narrowing at the top, I never had to move my or my wife's seat forward. Now he's almost 3 and I actually have him behind me forward facing without much issue (occasionally he'll kick the rear seat, but that's only if he thinks of it ) I'm 6' tall - and with the seat in the "correct driving position", it really is fine.

Hahaha, good luck with that!

Seat protector is a must, but when the kid is screaming his head off because he's hungry, it's not always convenient to pull over

Container of wetnap/Lysol/Armorall is a permanent fixer in the cars rear net hold now
