I could have been talking about you. After the person posted I responded pretty quickly asking about all the questions I had just referenced and never saw a response. Two different people had posted similar posts regarding testing out the theory. One with a similar car and one with the same make just a model year difference. One for sure was less detailed. I have a Britax rear facing seat and could never and still can't see over the top of it. Its the Marathon model. If I wasn't standing at the right diagonal I could only see feet when my daughter still sat rear facing. I have a mid size SUV. I certainly couldn't see anything juat opening the door to set something on my console unless I purposely was looking to see something in the seat. Maybe walking up to the car if I was looking in to see but not just walking by.
By the way, the caps in my response were for my emphasis, because I was trying to make sure I typed my response correctly. I am terrible at the touch key things. I think the first time I made the post I missed a lot. I wasn't type screaming at you...lol!
In our car, the britax essentially sits against the two front seats in the middle
