I have the impending birth of my 1st child neccesatating the sale of my current 2 seater toy car and downsizing on engine and fuel.
I am looking to make this the opportunity to buy a car I often covet and love: the Alfa Guilia QF.
The most important aspect:
Will infant baby seats fit on the passenger or rear seats?
Any info will be greatly appteciated as most car reviews leave this out and have learnt "isofix points" means sod all!

Yup. Plenty of room front and rear. Your new one, depending on new or used could be a 5 seater too.

I've had seats for babies and toddlers in mine. My boy is now 4 1/2 and is in his big seat....... which fits fine front and back.

Front airbag switch is accessed through the menu under 'safety'.

Excellent thank you very much. They really need to include this in car reviews.

Yes there are Isofix fittings in the rear.
My daughter has one of the large seats (which she's really grown out of now and doesn't need anything) with Isofix fittings. Fits in perfectly.
As said, older cars have 4 seats and the rear bench is fixed. Newer 2018 MY cars have 5 seats (well, 5 seat belts, the rear seat base is the same) and split fold rear seat back. You can also specify heated rear seats now too which you couldn't until recently.
The car is epic and my kids love it. Great car for a family. Mine does school runs as well as fun driving. Also had 2 adults and 2 kids with 2 weeks worth of luggage in the boot driving down to Italy and back.
The only issue you may have is the boot opening if you have a pram or something similar as it's not the biggest opening. Just get one that folds up small!

Yes, agree with all of the above.... the main issue for me is the size of the boot opening.. it is rather small. But the boot is big once you get stuff inside it.

No issues with kids seats in mine either.
