V70: Information V70 and IKEA :)

[Mr R Design]

I have never had a problem tying it down on mine.

The worst that happens are the exhaust fumes when stuck at the lights or in traffic.

Other than that does it work to ask the other half or a friend to go with you in their car just in-case you need a bit more space?

You can try using http://doesitfitinmycar.com/ Not sure it's how I would program it, but still will give some idea.

Let us know the result!

My Volvo was destroyed on the way back from Ikea, by a speeding and possibly drunk driver, but even though the rear end was mashed up badly, the flat pack stuff survived with no damage! Yeah for Volvo.

will check the site thanks....does not seem to work correctly though.

I've checked the seat and it does really fold...didn't know that so thanks!

the length seems ok...it's the width that worries me now...86cm...

I recently had all of the following in my V70 if this helps. I just moved the front passenger seat forward instead of folding it flat though.

Mine's a 2011 (MY12) if it matters...

Not 100% flat but it offers usable space.

[green van man]

Take 2 lengths of 3x2 timber and some ratchet straps with you.
I moved a sofa bed on the roof of the xc70 by laying the timbers across the roof rails and hoisting the sofa bed onto them. Well secured with 4 ratchet straps, 2 straight over 2 diagonally and drove the 5 mile trip at sensible speeds. Just shut the loose ends of the straps in the doors to stop them flapping about.

Roof loading is 75kg, provided that's not exceeded and the load cannot move I see no problem if it won't fit inside the car.

Well done, but I can't get front seat down anywhere near close to that. Also as I understand a regular V70 has a lever that flips the seat down, whereas a R-Design you are relying on the cog at the side of the seat.

[Simon Jones]

Have you not got the two levers on the base of the seat?
