I have a 2 yr old and getting him in and out of the the back on my Type R is really easy. As TTDegs has said you're just strapping the little un in from a different angle. With the front passenger seat slid right forward there's loads of room for you to stand in the car whilst you're strapping kids in.

Found and unexpected benefit of the amount of space the other day when it was throwing it down outside. Both me a my son just got into the car from the passenger side and then I shut the door whilst I strapped him in...hence keeping both of us (and the inside of the car) dry. Couldn't have done this as easily / quickly in a 5 door as you need the door open to work from the side.

There's pluses and minuses to both in my opinion.
