BMW I3 EV: Owner Finds 360° Child Seats Difficult to Fit in 2021 i3S

An owner reports that the BMW i3 EV is usable for carrying a toddler but the 2021 i3S's rear-seat layout makes installing larger rotating 360-degree child seats difficult and awkward.

The owner found the i3's rear legroom and interior height more spacious than expected, and a six-foot-five neighbor comfortably rode in the 2021 i3S during a test drive; the owner notes the EV’s carbon-fiber body and low battery weight enable the car’s tall, narrow cabin.

After struggling with a rear-facing Clek seat, the owner bought a Joie Chili Spin 360 for about $250, but the rotating seat still required moving the front passenger seat fully forward, reducing passenger comfort and long-trip practicality for the BMW i3.
