Just to stay on topic, would a picture of my mother in law seated in the second row count?

It would certainly count in the list of your misdeeds your wife has filed away in her head to use against you at the appropriate time
Update, had another IKEA trip last night in the p*ssing rain.
Struggled to fit a 2m long flatpacked HEMNES bookcase in, made it fit by shoving the passenger seat all the way forward and going diagonal but that really was about the limit and I got soaked trying to Tetris everything else in around it.

I thought of the same about Peugeot but after driving it recently I have changed my mind @Jason71
So try a hire car - 5008 beats everything for comfort and practicality other than the odd shape of poor RR cousin!

Yes try the new ones with the icockpit. Especially the 5008s 1.2 pure tech petrol engine is amazingly creamy smooth and has so much low level grunt I thought I am driving my model 3. They have electric options available the current e2008 has improved quoted range of up to 253 miles but I think the one that will come in October has a new interior that looks miles better than any German ones. I think their steering is bit of love or hate sort of thing. I love that little steering wish model 3 had one of those!
A friend used his MY to take 4 of us to a cruise ship. 4 adults, 4 large suitcases (one had to be positioned between the rear seats), 4 small suitcase/rucksacks (1 frunk with other stuff, 2 under the rear underfloor area, 1 on the floor between the rear passenegrs), 2 suit carriers for the obligatory Dinner Jackets, some Dress carriers (on top of suitcases), a camera bag and 2 oversized handbags (wherever there was a gap) and I'm sure I've missed something. I'm amazed it all went in to be honest, but it did. I wouldn't fancy a 14 day driving tour like that but for the journey we did it was fine.

And forgot to add the 5008 is a 7seater but those rear seats can be removed or folded. The last two are only for kids but with all 7 seats up there is barely any room for luggage. So it is an ideal 5seater with occasional use of 7seats. The middle row seats slide and has very good leg room even in the normal position. If you forget the rear end it is an amazing practical car considering we don’t get the Model Y 7 seater here.
