I am expecting my first child in September and drive a 3 door, Fiat Grande Punto (Active Model), 57 plate.
The front passenger seat in my car does not go forward very far and is a struggle for an adult to get in and out the rear seat at present. As such, I anticipate it's going to be even harder getting a baby car seat in and out with a sleeping baby in it.
There appears to be lots of extra room in the car when the seat is folded forward in the front however the rear is cramped and I cannot work out why there is such a small degree of movement when the seat is folded.
Am I able to take the car to a garage and have the seat adjusted in order to give me more room to put the baby car seat and out of the car?

This does seem to be a problem with the Punto, i have previously managed to get a baby seat into the back of the car but u have to lift the baby seat to the roof and put it in that way or i have switched the passenger seat airbag off and put the baby seat in the front on short journeys. Not sure about if the seat could be moved but im sure it could.
