A lot of new cars allow for the passenger airbag to be disabled to still allow the baby to go in the passenger seat rear facing

Hmmm ok. I never put my girls in the front anyway, found them too distracting even if they were just looking cute asleep.

Here we go looks something like this. As you can see either one of the back seats can be placed in normal mode if required

We have an Xtrail as well which was bought for camping but there's not much between the 2 regarding internal space for stuff
That pic is interesting. Unless it's the camera angle, that boot looks surprisingly big for a small car even before you fold down the seats.

Ooops, what I was referring to was having a rear-facing car seat on the back seat behind the passenger seat! I knew what I meant...

Not what I'd call a small car. Small cars would be Jazz, Getz, Barina etc to me anyway.
