The Lexus baby seat would fix that problem!

The 2IS was never meant to be a "tuner-friendly" car....let alone the IS250. I will tell you this much, it is a great car for every day driving and has great reliability. If your really not digging the performance, trade up to a IS350. The extra almost 100HP is a very noticeable difference. Just like any car out there, you will want more and more and more...im beginning to get bored of my IS350 and am seriously looking to step up as well. Good luck...

You must be a tall family or something. We have two baby seats in my IS250 no problem. Had one infant seat rear facing and one baby seat forward facing. Now that they are older, both are foward facing.
