When driving alone, I have been in the habit of reclining the front seat to improve vision over my left shoulder. Since acquiring the B Max I have been impressed with its front seat'lay flat ' ability; and on Thursday I am going to experiment with my passenger sitting in the back. With the front passenger seat pushed right forward, so you cannot open the glove box, and also laid flat, the nearside rear seat with its sliding door, generous leg room and arm rest offers a very safe and comfortable environment with no obstruction to their view.
