Approved baby seats/strollers for GS350
Is there a list or thread of compatible baby seats, convertible seats, and strollers for our GS350? I ask because some of the Amazon reviews I've read state that the stroller (even when folded) would not fit in some vehicle's trunk. I know Amazon makes returns easier, but I still want to avoid.
I've trying to decide between the Chicco Cortina SE travel system, Britax B-Agile 3/BSafe-35 seat, and the Graco modes sport click connect travel system.

Speaking about strollers only, I have a Maclaren Volo Stroller in my trunk which lays down vertically and the stroller handles nicely sits on the trunk net. However, I believe you can take measurements of your trunk and compare them to the measurements online when the strollers are folded.

The B-Agile fits, but hope your front passenger is a shorty. Strangely, we had it in our test drove without the base and our 6'3" salesman was able to stretch his legs. With the base, not so much.

We have a Chicco NextFit installed in my 2015 F-Sport. It's currently forward facing and is on the passenger side. I feel like it fits well, although it is in its most inclined position. I don't think this bothers my 2.5 year old, as he likes to look out and read the signs and look for the traffic signals. We do have to keep the front passenger seat pretty far forward. Fortunately, my wife is short, so it's not a big deal if they are both in the car.
Once you get to this point, don't forget to set your child locks!
Second on the Maclaren Volo. It fits well and lays flat. Regardless of your car, that stroller is worth every penny.

The Uppababy Vista stroller will fit in the trunk folded in a front-to-back orientation with a bit of room to spare, though they altered the design of that stroller in 2015 so your mileage may vary with the newer model.
You can fit the Uppababy Mesa in the center rear seat... If you're tall, I'm 6'4", and have the driver or passenger seat all the way back it will touch the carseat but it's not too big of a deal so long as both seats aren't in the most rearward position.
For a larger kid the Britax Boulevard Clicktight works in the rear center position, rear facing.
The biggest issue that you'll see is stretching the leather in the rear. I've never left either carseat installed in the car overnight as even from a day's use, the leather ends up "dented." It's always sprung back, but I've never let it set.
If you lease, probably not an issue =p

I use a Britax Roundabout seat for my 13 month old, rear facing, in the rear passenger side of my GS. It's quite compact and I can still put the front passenger seat well back - enough to sit there comfortably for hours, and I have long legs (36 inch inseam).
For a stroller, I use a BOB jogging stroller, which fits well in the trunk.

I currently have a Graco Sung ride 32 (rear facing) along with a Recaro Hero (forward facing).
The trunk has no issues swallowing up stroller without batting an eye along with a weeks worth of Target shopping. I had a Bumbleride Flyer Stroller and I'm currently using a Joovy Caboose Ultralight Too which is a Stand on tandem stroller

I second the Chicco KeyFit30 and KeyFit Caddy Stroller. Fits well, my wife or I seat in the back with the baby so front passenger seat is not an issue for us. I replaced the NextFit since my son (1month) didn't look comfortable rear facing.

To all with kids - go ahead and set your child lock. Don't forget like we did, and have your 2 year old unlock the door and start pulling forcefully on the door handle at nearly 80 MPH on the interstate. I don't think I've ever pulled over so quickly!
