The rear loading area is showing about 20yrs of age from being used "normally". The seats have worn due to the baby seats that are fixed in the rear.
The seats and fabric in the rear have had it after less then a year of baby spew toys and nappy changes.
Nothing any family car wouldn't go through. Plus the interior has been professionally cleaned aswell! The father is quite **** actually.....that's why I have even heard about the cars shortcomings. Maybe it's an interior lemon
They change their kids nappy's on the back seat, enough said.
You refer to baby seats, obviously more than one and then claim that the back seat is folded down and that they only have one 'baby', why more than one seat and where does the other seat go if the pram is in the way.

I think your making up stories to suit your agenda.

I have a little Laser (KJ 1998 model) which does not have child seat anchorage points behind the the rear seat’s like modern new car’s do, the anchorage points are on the body at the rear just next to the catch for the rear hatch, so in order to use a child seat (which I have one of in the car) there are strap’s that go down from the child seat to the anchorage point, and these straps are a pain in the **** for trying to load and unload large item’s, it virtually makes it impossible to fit large items in the rear on one side, BUT I manage to fold up our pram (baby jogger summit X3) without taking the wheel’s of it, just fold it right up and it fit’s in nicely, albeit there is not much room for anything else , only small items that will fit to the left of it and under the strap’s that I mentioned previously, but it can be done.

So I think your either telling porkies or your friends have no idea on how to pack a car ?.
