Sciroccos and kids?

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

I have to disagree with Cathy a bit here on the 4 door thing.  By the time they are two they should be getting in the car on their own, climbing into the seat and such.  That means all you have to do it open the door, slap them on the butt and help with the buckles.  The great thing about kids in a rocco is that they are sitting only a few inches behind you, so you can sit in your seat and easily turn around to do or undo buckles, hand over toys and drinks, or whatever.  I almost always unbuckle mine from the driver's seat, flip the passenger seat forward and pull him out past me before I get up.  Now that I have two I'm messing with the second one while he is climbing out.  



When they are younger than about two, I like to be able to flip my seat forward, climb in the back and sit on the base of the driver's seat - me facing backwards.  This gave me way more room to get them situated than in my Passat.  Again, now that I have a kid on each side of the rocco that doesn't work so well, but in a little while the younger one will be about two - see above.  



Big Mac, what the heck are you feeding that girl!  Heehee.  Mine is like 22lb. at 9 months, but he inheritted his parents' shortness.  Sabrina is probably like 4'2" by now if she is taking after you.
