Default Baby car seat

Anyone install a baby car seat in the IS250? I am about to put one in and it seems real tight. Just curious if anyone has had any problems?

I did try to put one on. However, once it is on, it greatly reduces the front passenger's room. If I put it in the back of the driver side, I can't drive in any comfortable position. After that, I give up. The seat stays on the RX 350. Hope this helps.

Yup, Its not a problem unless ofcourse your passenger is more that 5'7.
make sure you buy the padding for the car seat so you dont ruin your leather

Just a booster seat for the occasional jaunt over to Chuck E. Cheese's crib, but that fits fine without encroaching on the front passenger's legroom.

I was thinking about infant baby car seat. That's what I tried in my IS. It takes much more space than a booster seat.

I'll also ask about the type of padding and where you purchased it.

I'm not sure if it's true, but my dealer told me that you could put the infant seat base in the middle/center seat, and then use one latch anchor from each of the other two seats.

What type/brand of infant seat are you using?
