I think it's OK- I looked into this when the 211 first came out - concerned that the kids would be sitting in the rear crumple zone - and was sent some information from MB via my then employer showing how the various structural members allow the force from a rear end shunt to be carried around the rear-facing seats. So I'm not too concerned about structural safety.with regard the E class rear facing seats while they maybe safer in a front crash, again there are implication in a rear facing crash?
My only real concern is that with the the Navi CPU located in the rear passenger side AND the Sub-Woofer located in the rear driver side, in a rear collision scenario the rear crumple zone may propel these units towards the kids. I've attached a shot of my kids in the rear seats for reference.I think it's OK- I looked into this when the 211 first came out - concerned that the kids would be sitting in the rear crumple zone - and was sent some information from MB via my then employer showing how the various structural members allow the force from a rear end shunt to be carried around the rear-facing seats.

Cute kiddies! The one on the right looks slightly nervous of what Dad might be about to do though - I suppose they know your driving well enough by nowMy only real concern is that with the the Navi CPU located in the rear passenger side AND the Sub-Woofer located in the rear driver side, in a rear collision scenario the rear crumple zone may propel these units towards the kids.

BTW, I would definitely NOT put and toddler younger than 4 years old in the rear, at least not until they know how to obey instructions and can sit still in the car properly! Having them jumping about in the rear whilst driving is one experience I never want to go through again!!!
