Does anyone ever try using car seat in a IS350 before? I know it provides little space for the back seat but just wondering if a car seat can be fit.
I like it very much but also hope that I can bring my family with it during the weekend, so planning to buy one but haven't make up my mind yet because of that. Your input and experience are welcomed and appreciated. Tks.

If i were you, I would look into the GS. The 2IS' rear seats are alright but if you have a family, the GS would suit you better imo.

search, there was a thread about this a few days ago, and at least a few others before that.

Short answer: yes.

It can be, just not a very comfortable one

Here's the thread from the other day:

I have a 4.5 yo and a 2 yo, so I have one booster seat and one fwd facing convertible car seat--it's not our primary family car, but seems to work ok so far (I've had it 6 weeks). They both fit fine (although it's tough to pull down the arm rest. Also, I'm 5'8" and my wife is 5'2", so the front seats do not need to be too far back. However--there is a lot of kicking on the back of the front seats. If this is your primary car, my guess is you may regret it for size.

Bring the car seat and stroller with you on your test drive.

Not the most comfortable for a family sports sedan (well, at least for rear seat passengers), but the IS is a family sports sedan.

If you are concerned about having more room, the GS is perfect (albeit the higher price and some performance compromises).

Or get an RX, if you don't mind driving an SUV.

The price is around the IS' neighborhood.

And of course, you gain a whole lot more space over an IS.

totally agree . . .

Another thing about the is350, if you have a family your not gonna like the gas mileage...

The RX is the last vehicle I'd be interested in if I wanted a sports sedan (I have an RX too!). Its not a good drive...waaaaay too floaty.

I'd look into a bigger sedan like the GS or a G35 (same class as IS) which is significantly larger in the back seat.

Well I have 2 - 5 yr olds, and they always prefer to go in Daddy's car as opposed to Mommy's grocery getter . . .

llamaboiz

pssh cuz they know if they go with daddy they'll get candy, with mommy no candy, its not the car in this case

Too small for family... too family for sport.

Which is also significantly cheaper than a GS, and probably has a sportier ride.
