I use this:

And it looks pretty close to the camaro's interior.

I fit a rear facing car seat in my Camaro. My wife had to have the seat all the way up but she was still comfy.. I'll try and get the brand of the car seat for you..

Chico worked for us, and we use the base which stays in the car all the time.... Click in click out!
My wife is 5'9/5'10 120 and it still works.

Few things to help out:

- Tint your back window, mines like 5% so limo...
- Purchase the seat cover from babierus..

There ya go! My baby girl has been riding with me since she was born and now she is a pro at 12 weeks, lol.

I have this one in mine for my 3yr old daughter:

http://www.eddiebauer.djgusa.com/usa...-in-1-Car-Seat-

Fits fine, seat has to be moved forward a click or two for her to get in but once in its almost all the way back and her legs are not squished...

I was in a similar situation prior to buying mine and no regrets, my daughter has been riding like a rockstar for 2yrs now in the back of mine

'11CamaroLS · 07-14-2011, 02:11 PM

We have had a rear facing car seat in my camaro for about a year now. It is a Graco brand one. I believe its called the Snugride, its the one that can go in a base for a car or in a stroller. my girlfriend is about 5'4 also and it does work. the seat is pretty far up and all but it wasnt uncomfortable. she even prefered my camaro with the seat pulled up then the Camry rental car we had with the seat farther back lol.

anyway, I just recomend though that with a rear facing car seat you dont have to use the base with it. although it is easier with the base to get the seat in and out it takes up more room. so just buckle the seat in with the belt instead, there is directions on the side of the seat on how to buckle it in without the base. you get used to it and it leaves more room for your wife. and pretty much any front facing car seat will fit, so theres no excuse now to not trade that charger and get a camaro

I have a 10 month old and of course had to think of this when purchasing the car. i actually measured to make sure. I have the Graco Snugride as well and yes it works. Sat needs tio be up but no biggie. mom usually rides in the bak with her anyway and beleive it or not it's not too bad for me either. she can sit in back of me without her knees touching the seat and i have plenty of room. I'm 5'10 and she is 5'7. They said the one thing was very small back seats and scared me a little but went to dealer and sat in the back and then in the front with no issues. now for someone taller than me it gets a little tight with headroom. Also with the small windows it seems smaller\tighter than it really is. Took the wife a few tries before she got use to it but the baby loves it so I win!

Thought i was the only one with a baby seat in the back!

im 5'10 as well. is the roof really that low?

shawn18 · 07-14-2011, 02:24 PM

The rear facing seats fit ,but it can be aliitle tight. They are only in them for the first year and then its on to front facing seat. When you get to that point it is no problem! My son rode home in the Camaro from the hospital and has been in it on a regular basis ever since. He is 1yr old now...........Pics of the front facing seat...
