Default is250 / is350 seats in an isf - b/c i need to put baby seats in the back

I want to keep my back seats in excellent/mint condition....BUT I have two small babies that I need to put in the back. I usually take my wagon, benz or bmw with the two small babies, but once in a rear while I'm using the isf.

Does anyone know if the isf can use the is250 and is350 seats? And how hard is it to install?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can provide a bit of insight.

Pretty sure the 250/350 rear bench is a fairly simple swap.

If it's just 2 car seats yes simple swap you can just buy the bench part it will take literally 10 min max 2 swap them . If you need a third seat belt that's where it gets a bit complicated .

Salvage yards here in socal have the rear seats available alll the time . Don't pay over 250 for a set as 06-13 IS are the same rear seats just of course color and alcantara in later years .

I wouldn't attempt to put kids in an IS-F as a normal thing.

I had me and two other adults along with a rear facing car seat in my car one time and it was very uncomfortable.

I use my ISF as a daily with 2 young kids both in car seats. The car is a lil tight but it gets the job done.

I use my F as a daily as well, and with a daughter that still needs to be in a rear facing car seat, of course I put her on the rear passenger side, but if there's a time I have to put her behind me all the time, I would trade the F in because its super uncomfortable almost like I'm eating the steering wheel

I have a mint set of 2013 black rear seats. Unlike what someone stated before there is a diff between the years of back seats other than material and stutching color. The later years were redesigned to provide improved legroom. These are the ones i have available. Lmk if your interested

You should be able to put a blanket or sheet underneath the car seat. I had mine in the car for 3 months or so and the seats have signs of wear.

Default I use Lionheart seat mat in the back

For me, I just put in two prince lionheart seatsaver mats and use 2x Diono front facing. ( no damage on the rear seats) If its rear facing , does not work to well for the front driver & passenger.

Yeah, the F is not a great kid mobile. There's about as much room (if not a ltitle less) than in my G35 coupe!!! Shocking.

Already have that lol, I'm in the same boat looking for the is350 seats as I'd like to keep my rears mint. For now it's working out I don't need to put baby seats in yet. I'm sure the day will come when wife goes back to work. I'm also trying to find a white pair to keep it matching.

I'm also using lion heart. Works great. I usually pull the anchors at the end of the day if the seats are staying for more than one day. I find the anchors leave indents on the backing of the seats.
