We have a superb estate 2020. We have a besafe car seat (to 25kg) behind the passenger seat and now want to get a Joie iSpin safe for child number two (thing same more or less as the iSpin 360). This would go behind the driver seat. 

 

The question is- will the seat fit behind the driver seat when it's far back as my husband is 6ft 4"? Thank you

We have a spin 360 that has gone behind the drivers seat on the Octavia no problem.  With the extra leg room in the superb you'll be fine.

Great thank you for that!

Can't you take your car to a stockist and ask them to try it?

If it doesn't fit on the Superb, it won't fit anywhere! (as long at it's ISOFIX)

We are in Ireland. There is almost nowhere with It as it’s a new product. The closest place I’ve found is 3 hours drive and we would have to take the kids and stay over (which is not happening with Covid). So we are hoping to order it from UK. 

We are specifically looking for the spin safe which is rear facing only

I'm 6ft3. With the driver seat set for me there is 31" between my seat back and the front of the rear seat back. Even allowing for variation in leg length etc I think you can say you have a 30 " horizontal gapto fit a car seat in.

 

The website gives max L of the Spin seat as  74cm(29")

I don't think any mainstream car has more rear legroom.

 

Edit

The actual room to play with will be more since there is a bit of give in the rear seat back when putting a seat against it.  I didn't allow for that when measuring. I'm sure it would be fine.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. We are going to go for it. 

What the others have said. If it doesn't fit in a Superb even with a tall driver, it won't fit anywhere.

On the other hand, personally I'm against such too fancy "solutions" for the child seats. It's almost twice as expensive as other great (and just as safe) child seats from Britax-Romer or Maxi-Cosy just because of the extra luxury of spinning the seat 90deg towards you? (can't think of an instance where we ever said "if we could only rotate the child's seat!" with our 5y.o.  Plus it will stop serving you much sooner than those seats with a limit of 4 years /18kg.

Or put the existing (smaller?) seat behind the driver and the (bigger?) seat behind the passenger as they can have their seat forward if needed.

We have this one... it works well...
