  • Who's got kids here?

    Who has kids here and how much trouble is it getting them in the back seat? If I get a Camaro I will look into disabling the passenger airbag so my son car ride in front. There is a company near me that installs them for around $300. Or is the back seat doable for small kids?

    like a car seat? ive seen that done before, but I myself sat in the back seat of my car ( im 15, about 5'7" ) like 3-4 times for 20-30 minutes and i was fine. not the most cozy seat, but it was bareable. car seats fit if thats what your asking though.

      Yeah, my girl will be 2 here next month, and her carseat goes back there nice. I just have to put the passenger set all the way up for my to get my fat a$$ in there to put the seat in. And the smile on her face when I rev the engine is priceless.

        How hard was it to get the carseat to sit tight in the buckets? My biggest concern is that I like to have my son (he'll be 2 next month as well) in the middle. But he loves cars and wants to ride in it. I was always curious how well the carseat would tighten up.

              I don't put her in the middle. I put her seat in the back passenger side. The carseat is just about the width of the bucket in the back, snug fit. She has the Simpson Carseat. It's the coolest. http://www.simpsonraceproducts.com/p...4&prod_id=1909

              The first time I put the seat in, it slid to one side when I would turn, I think it's the leather, but I tighted it down more, maybe I had the belt snagged on something when I was tightening it. It's snug now.

              The only thing that conserns me is the sun. The way the back glass is, the sun shines right on the top of her head. I suggest a hat.

                  I have the back window tinted, so maybe less of a problem. Will keep the hat in mind. Love the simpson racing seat!

                  My son calls my FB "Daddy's race car". Put's a smile on my face that he recognizes a sports car when he sees/hears it.

                  I told my wife about the comments in this thread regarding the carseat and she said "WE HAVE TO DO IT!". She doesn't get to ride in the FB any more because we use the bimmer for family trips.

                        I used my Firebird for a few years with a car seat and it worked just fine. I just put a towel or two in the bucket seat to fill in the space and then put the car seat on top of that.
