Default Discovered Something on the A3 and Britax Car Seats
I had a loaner A3 2.0T which I thoroughly enjoyed having. I was suprised coming from an S4. It was a pleasure to have for the day, but I did find out that if you have a Britax car seat with a latch system you cannot use the over sized latches with the brackets. The brackets embedded in the rear seats are surrounded by a plastic piece designed to protect the seat, but that interferes with the Britax latch system. So I was stranded for the day not being able to take my daughter out to the park. just an FYI.

Default Works for my Roundabout and Expressway.
I have a Britax Roundabout (using LATCH) and a Britax Expressway (which is LATCH-only) in the back of my A3 and have not had this problem.
