depends on how long their legs are and how far the seat in front of them is back...

Borderline comfortable for a 12 yo I would say. Headroom's the issue above about 5ft 5" I'd say. Not too much leg room either, so for 3 hrs it'll be a right pain (literally).

Hi
Just measured my boy he is 10 and 155cm tall and he is fine for 3 hours trips. I have done numerous trips round Europe and kids have been fine. Saying that dont think I will be able to do it for much longer so would not invest in a car if that is your only mode of transport.
Regards

My (fussy and short) 12 yo complains in the back of a 6 about the lack of space and the vibration from the engine coming through the seatback.

I ignore her.

I stuck my mum (5'6") and dad (6'1") in the back of our old 996 when we took them out for dinner for my dad's 60th. They refused to come home in it with us and jumped in with their friends!!! To this day (4yrs on) they still wind me up about it!
