reclining rear seats

after cheking for my self thay do recline. the best part is thay lock into place. after pulling the latch up push the seat back and push a little more and you will hear a click. now i think it is safe to sit in. i will try to post a vid next

with the rear seats reclined all the way to lock, slide your driver/passenger seat all the way forward (don't let it lock into place), remove the headrest and recline the driver/passenger seat all the way back. ta'daaaa instant bed for a quick nap zZZzzZZzzz

I think there was a thread a while ago where someone was complaining that the rear seats were designed not to lock, deducing that the reclined position would then be unsafe.

My Element had that feature. I tried it once when I saw it in the manual, never used it again. I couldn't ever think of a good use for it, except for maybe a drive-in movie theatre.

Ok I feel like an idiot. Do the REAR seats recline in the 09-10 Fits? Topic says rear, but the photos show front seats. My 07 Fit rear seats do not recline.

They recline very little but it makes a BIG difference for big people.
