Default Will a rear facing car seat fit a IS?

I found a couple of 06 CPO IS350 that are decently priced around my area and plan on looking at them this weekend. My only concern is the backseat as I have a small baby who is in a rear facing car seat. Will a rear facing car seat fit in the middle of the back seat and still give the 2 front occupants "comfortable room"? Those of you with babies and toddlers, your input?

It fit for me, in the middle of course. I believe that you can do it on the passenger side too, but you are going to sacrifice a LOT OF ROOM for that passenger. but it's doable.

I suggest you bring the actual carseat you intend to use to the dealership and whoever you want to sit upfront. This is the only way to be absolutely sure. My kid is on a front facing seat so when I was shopping for a car I also brought him and my wife along for test fitting.

Yup works well in the middle, I have had 2 different seats with no issue. Your front seats will have to be pushed a little forward but not too bad. I wouldn't attempt it passenger side unless you want your passenger to be huggin the dash

yes, we had the graco snug ride in the middle, rear facing, fits fine. putting in the side seats would require a short person in the front
