Anyone put car seats in their Camaro? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had a car seat in the back of my car to give niece and my brother a ride. I do not have one there on a regular basis.

I was checking out a Nissan GT-R in the parking lot at work today and it had a car seat in the back.

Put both my daughters in their car seats since day one and still do on occasion. I do drape a towel under both seats though.

It's the only car I own, so I've had booster seats in it for my 6 y/o son and 7 y/o daughter since Day 1. :updown:

I have two nieces that I see a lot of. One is three, and one is four. I do a lot of the in and out with the car seats. I think that is the tough part. If I had my own car seats for them and just left them in there, that would be much better. My niece that is four has a pink booster seat with two cup holders. It's pretty cool. Also, I bought hand towels to put under the car seats -- black to match. My sister gets a stray gummy bear, cheerio, etc. on the bottom of her car seats from time to time. The hand towel also helps with the sharp indentation that the car seats can leave on the leather. Those indentations have all came out on their own. I was also wondering before I got the car how the whole car seat thing was going to work out. It has that -- is it called 5 point latch system? I am only counting four places that it latches right now. So I figured I was good to go. My niece did say the other day, though, I can't see out. They have a great view in a minivan usually.

I have a car seat for my dog, Turbo. It's painted to match the engine cover and trunk close out panels. It buckles in using the seat belt and his harness attaches to it.

Not a chance, but I do have a minivan for the family. My 10 year old doesn't like the back seat since it is hard to see anything with that big seat in front of him and hardly a side window. My 12 year old loves riding along in the passenger seat however. I don't see myself putting a car seat back there.

I have, my wife is really good to make sure the seat is nice and clean and we throw a blanket down first. Mt daughter loves "Daddys" Super Sport!

I have a princess pink booster seat in the back seat for my 6 year old daughter.

I also sold my 600rwhp C6 and bought a 2010 SS after the birth of my youngest boy. It was one of the best moves, he rides to daycare with me every day and at 18 months he knows who bumble bee is and loves to watch the Al's chevy commercial from the Superbowl. I have a full-size car seat behind my passenger seat.

Definately have had a car seat and a booster in the camaro several times. The girls, 2 & 5, just love the "maro"!! The 5 year old can hardly wait for the 'vert to get here!!

Blitz · 05-03-2011, 10:50 AM

My two year old and her full car seat fit in my vert.. barely. I have only had her in it once, the night I got the car. I took the seat right back out so it doesn't stay in there unless I take her in the car again.

Z28RockStar · 05-03-2011, 01:52 PM

In Texas it's illegal to place a childs car seat in the front seat if the vehicle has a back seat. If no backseat is available then the airbag in the front must be disabled. If a child is out of the toddler car seat they must use a booster seat untill they are 4 feet tall or more. A child younger than 8 years of age should be sat in the back seat.

I don't know if these laws are current though I know that these were the laws last time I looked into it about 7 or 8 years ago lol.
