baby/car seat question
I understand this is not a family car... that's why I bought my wife an SUV (Mitsubishi Endeavor). But I am curious if I will be able to take the baby anywhere in my car if I NEED TO.
I am assuming the car seat will fit with the front passenger seat leaned forward a bit if it's just me and the baby, but can anyone confirm this car can fit a front passenger and a car seat. I'm pretty sure that I can fit a child seat once they go to the kind where they sit in a booster seat but that's like 2 years away. For now I have the big bulky car seat type thing and I am wondering if it will fit. Also, I searched and since the thread searches for posts with the word car and seat in the same post it returned a BUNCH of stuff I couldn't use. Thanks in advance.

I don't think I am going to be able to get the car seats in the new Camaro. I have 5 month old triplet sons and a four year old. Looks like we are going to be drawing straws when they are older on who gets to ride to school with Dad and who gets to ride in the mini-van with Mom.

I didn't think you could put a car seat in the front seat legally.

Yeah still rear facing. She's 2 weeks and 2 days old so we'll be in the rear facing stage for a while.

They should fit in the front, drivers and passengers side.
You and your wife can sit in the back and make zoom zoom sounds like you're driving...

I'm pretty sure Ill just have to move the front seat all the way up or lean it forward a bit or both. Just want to make sure if I had to get me mama and baby around for some reason I still could. If anyone knows for sure please share.

I'll tell ya what you do. Take your car seat to the dealer and tell them you want to try it in one. I've done this before. I don't know how many dealers in your area have one on the lot but it's worth the shot.

Both my kids are in booster seats so I can't check for you. Besides just being able to get the baby carrier into the back seat, you'll also need to look at how the base of it fits in the rear seat. My kids' booster seats are pretty small but fit very snuggly in between the side bolsters on the seats. I seem to remember the base of their rear-facing seats being a few inches wider and there is no way that is going to sit flush on the seat cushion.

Every state has different laws about WHEN you can move them to the front (some are NEVER..which i agree with) as long as you are not lik 6'5" it should fit behind the pass side, i'm gonna have the same problem in a few more months but i'll have a booster seat and a car seat. The ONLY real problem will be from your back, putting that thing in and out of the back seat...lol but no it should fit fine...suggestion (unless you already have it) get the car seat that has a base that it locks into. MUCH easier for installation/removal

I work in Southlake and live in Hurst. PM me if you want to use my car as a tester to see if your seat will fit. I'd be happy to bring it by.

FYI, I keep my two year old son's car seat in the rear seat behind the passenger seat. That is his reserved spot when I take him out. He loves my Camaro and when I pull in the driveway coming home from work if he is playing in the backyard he runs up to the gate to try to get to my car. Having 4 kids it is pretty much impossible to take all 4 of them at once. As far as putting a car seat in front I wouldn't recommend it. Although the front seat has a sensor that disables the front passenger air bag. 90 lbs are more and the front passenger air bag seat is enabled.
