Does any known what car can I use the seats from?
I need the back of it to fold forward as flat as possible.
I believe it was an option on Smart ForFour.
Was it also in ForTwo?
I think it was also an option in some Volvo's, but not sure which ones.
Do you know of any other cars?

My 2011 Volvo V60 would do it on the passenger seat.

My Smart ForTwo did it (2003 car) and as above, my Volvo V60 did it (2011 car).

It’s quite a useful feature.

My Jeep Patriot does this, quite used given its just our 'tip run' car.

I believe this is also an option on the Citroen C4 Spacetourer (formerly C4 Picasso). Very useful when you need to carry long loads...

Latest Twingo definately, probably spec dependant though.

Pretty sure shaking your arse Megane did (52 plate onwards) and similar era Scenic too.

All of the above, front passenger seat only, oh also all Scenic rear seats from original Scenic up to 2017 ish.

A major desirable option for me too. I believe a Honda Civic Tourer does, but not the saloon/hatchback. I personally think that would be a major requirement for an estate, or indeed any car that has folding seats. I mean, why stop at just folding rear seats, have the front passenger seat fold as well.

Most modern Volvo estates. My V50 does it and it's really handy. I had some ivy wrapped up in a tarpaulin today, about 8ft long and it went straight in.

The much hated Vectra C had it as an option but I've not seen it anywhere but on my shed 53 plate Elite. No idea if they stopped offering it but it's bloody useful, IKEA trips are no issue at all. My old 09 plate one didn't have it.

Additionally as folk have mentioned Volvo are pretty good at providing one, had it in my '06 V70.

Old Hyundai Tucson does this, if I recall correctly.

The Mitsubishi Colt front seats (same base car as the Smart For four) do this.

Can confirm that a 2014 XC70 passenger seat folds flat, dead handy, they're nice comfy seats too.
