Adults in the back of a Cerbera

He had the technique all wrong 
Having been in the back of a Cerb a fair number of times you have three options.
1) "The lay" A shown by our hapless volunteer in the video, extremely uncomfortable and although it looks the best option at the start, it's a bitch on the back and gives you no option for movement should bits start to itch or lose feeling.
2) "The splay" My personal favourite, get in the seat as if it's a normal car, shift your butt as far forward as possible and splay your legs to either side of the front passenger seat as it gets put back into position. This will result in a numb backside and if you're wearing tight jeans then forget about having children, other than that it's not bad for anything up to 30 minutes.
3) "The hunch and curl" Squeeze into the back in a foetal position, backside on the seat with your back facing the left side of the car and manouver your knees to centre tunnel side of the front passenger seat as it is put back in position. Thats the curl, the hunch comes from the fact that this approach will leave you with no headroom. The downside to this technique? Once your in, that's it, no movement and cramp in the legs.
I heartily recommend the second option...

You definately proved that the cerb is a family car by bringing the wife and kids along today.
Just a shame that I met you as we were getting ready to leave.

You betcha
You also have to include the picnic table, picnic hamper, barb-e-que, suitcase of clothes (daughter was on a sleepover last night), extra coats, blankets, cuddly toys on top of my usual recovery stuff of air compressor, battery booster, ty-wraps, rope, tools We'll have loads of time next run out to kick tyres and i'll be able to show you what the de-cat pipes are like from behind. Mines getting done the 26th

Look forward to it... I keep getting told what mine are like but never see or hear it. Would be interesting to see what I'm missing.
I thought your car looked a bit low but not surprising with the amount of stuff you packed in.
