Surely a FFRR owner has a van or Defender for such tasks ? 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

If the seat belt sits on the outside edge of the extra side bolster it doesn’t get trapped. ...

Ahh! Ok, the standard seats don't have that bolster bit and nowhere to tuck the belt out of the way.

On mine, you can raise them using the recline controls at the side of each rear seat.

Not a perfect solution but saves some of the walking back & forth

What a wonderful 1st World problem to have, in this most miserable Christmas for millions.

We here on FFRR should think ourselves extremely fortunate, an just take a moment to think of the suffering of others  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I have a 2017 AB with the standard seats and dont really find that they do not fold flat an issue tbh. They fold almost flat and I have transported many different things - Lay-z-boy chair, king single mattress, shelving and all sorts with the seats down. Dog in the back when the seats are up and yes getting the belts out of the way on the powered seat fold a bit of an inconvenience. Its obviously not a ute, which are most popular here in NZ but I find it really versatile.

You could spec the AB without the Executive rear seats

You certainly could:

It might be an age/spec thing but my MY16 has the same seats as Philip above (I quite like the look of those exec seats though )

And i too have had the seatbelt trapping issue on raising the seats - Thanks for the tip re using the button on the seat - will do that from now on  Ash
