The 182 seats have handles at the top to get people in the back and the 172 is at the bottom onpf the seat

Means fuck all unless like me you have a 9 year old child who can't seem to pull the seat forward as its beside the B pillar and the floor

That's the only difference I noticed with a 182 and my 172,,,,, I need to buy a 182 passenger seat !!!!!! Same fecking pattern ect too lol
