Here is some perspective on how the driver’s seat was positioned for a 5’11 1/2” driver.

And here is the legroom in the back with seats in same position if car seat were removed.

A few comments:
- Car seat model is a Nuna Pippa RX
- The baby is not included with purchase but can be acquired by a suitable buyer for a reasonable fee.
- This doesn’t really reflect how the seat would sit with the full base installed but you get the idea.
- Driver’s seating position was adjusted for comfort of a 5’11 1/2” driver. See additional photos below.
- Car seat was not touching drivers seatback by a tiny margin
- I did have to turn the seat awkwardly sideways to get it in the door. Either the door depth (front to back) was narrower than my other cars, or the door itself didn’t open as wide. I can’t really recall in detail which one was the cause, but just be aware. Not a big deal as long as you can get the kid in and buckled up somehow.
- Overall you should have no problem fitting this type of car seat behind the front passenger seat with total comfort for both people. I tested it on the driver’s side to be conservative and make sure I could still drive if I was ever stuck and needed to have the car seat behind me. Should be more room to play with behind the front passenger given that your passenger doesn’t have to worry about a steering wheel or pedals.

Other impressions:
- Overall, the Bronco is pretty badass. See it in person if you have doubts.This confirmed I will be placing an order for a MY22 at some point. Likely going Black Diamond. There was no BD at this event but the Squatch was more than I would ever need. I suspect the same is true of anyone else who just needs a 4 door workhorse with room to haul the kids around and have a little fun on a camping trip or whatever.
- The A/C vent situation (under seat) for the back seats is a terrible failure and I have zero faith that it will be adequate for rear passengers. Not enough to steer me away from the Bronco but I’ll be shocked if buyer feedback doesn’t force a revised design for future model years.
- I was on the Carbonized Gray train but this event may have converted me to Cactus Gray. You either like flatter grays or you don’t. I do, and this one is pretty spot on. I got almost no mint green hues in person (regardless of how it shows in photos), except later on when the sun ducked behind a cloud. And even then it wasn’t too green.
