Default Car Seat?

I know, I know.

I use my RC as a daily driver. Prior to heading to the office, I've been tasked with dropping my 1-year old to daycare. Anyone have experience with car seats for children in this age bracket. It's a short-haul, but certainly required. Edmunds posted a review showing that the car seat was doable: http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/rc-f/20...just-fits.html

Thoughts (aside from dropping him off in my Acura)?

Thank you!

I have had one car seat experience so far.
While out of town, I drove my son, his wife, their 3 year old daughter and all their luggage to the airport in Nashville.
They attached the car seat to the standard anchors in the back (and put all of their luggage into the trunk) with no problem.
Mom piled into the back with the kid, and everybody seemed to enjoy the relatively short ride. Clearly, all of this is easier with a four door car, especially the part where you fasten all the small buckles around the little nipper, but we had no trouble getting it done with the RC.

Thank you, that's a great experience. Very helpful! Time to go car seat shopping...
