Question about passenger seat

Hi,

forgive me for the super-stupid question...
Well here we go:
I have OEM GT2 carbon fiber seats in my car, but I also have two kids, one of them riding in the back (obviously).
Getting in and out of the car is a major PITA for them (because the GT2 seat is so tall that it gets stuck on the ceiling when you flip the back forward), so I am considering swapping the passenger seat with a fully electric "comfort seat".

So here's the question:
When I flip the backrest of a a fully electric "comfort" passenger seat forward, will the seat slide automatically forward (and back after the back rest is back in its normal position)? BTW: I don't have seat memory

Nothing happens automatically with the passenger seat. You'll have to use the switch to move forward and back.

Before flipping your GT2 seat forward slide it to the rear. It will then flip all the way forward. Then slide the seat forward. When you are done slide the seat back and flip the seat back. Sounds like a PITA but it is really a quick procedure.

Yes, but that only works if there's nobody in the backseat ....

It can be done but it may not be fun for the person in the back.
