That's what I fear, too. Although, conceivably, it could be replaced by a
less obstrusive form of support, no?

Bobo? That's very cute. Kind of reminds me of Montgomery Burn's teddy bear
in one of the Simpsons' episode. So, where did you find those seats? Were
they expensive. I looked at some catalogs, but they were expensive, like
$250 each. Maybe I'll try to find myself those heated Volvo seats someone
else had mentioned a few weeks ago. (Saab probably has them too, and IF I
remember well, the recline is thiner than average and so the seat would fit
more easily.)
