This is the last active thread on baby seats in the SC. I recently put in the Graco Turbo Booster seat, and my soon to be 3 year old loves it. I have yet to take any pictures, and will post them as soon as i take them. I only problem I see with young kids whose legs don't make it all the way down to the bottom of the front seat back - the front seat has to be moved further up so that they can flex their legs without curling them up.

I have 2 kids 5 and 7 years old. My 5 year old uses a backless booster seat and is fine. My 7 year old fits nicely with no booster. We move the front seats up quite abit and they have enough knee room.

The worst thing are the upright seat backs on the SC. Its a killer. They could of reclined these abit.

I use a child seat in my "new" SC 430. Since the seat is so upright, it makes the installation of the child seat a little difficult. I put a towell under the bottom of the seat to make it more upright. When it is put that way the from of the car seat ends up being somewhat flush with the back seat, so moving the passenger seat up allows enough room for my 2 and a half year old. I have looked for a slightly smaller seat, and there are some that are a little smaller, but I don't think it will be worth it, I will wait until she can sit in a booser seat with a much straighter back.

Hope this helps.
