Fitting Child/booster seat?
Just curious how the rear seat shape accommodates a booster and or a front facing child seat. My other coupe had to get a low profile child seat, and most boosters don't fit the seat bottom since it was so narrow.

I have had two in the back. No issues. I have Graco Nautilus 65 and Graceo 4-in-1 in the back. Both of them fit perfectly. My younger baby boy is still in the rear facing one, which I have not tried fitting. I am going to wait until next spring/summer when the younger baby boy is in the front facing one so I will have two Graco front facing ones in the back for both daughter and son.

Cool. One kid in a booster and the other in a front facing, and if I need to take both usually just take the minivan anyways. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have to get some special low profile seat or the booster deforming the rear seats.

I too have Graco Nautilus model for my 4yr old. It fits fine but i do have to wiggle its way in with the front seat moved forward. It works ok but pending how your child sits, booster seat tends to ‘slide’ forward. I wouldn’t recommend for a long drive but it works ok for now. As for rear facing baby car seat, i highly doubt it will fit ok. I don’t see how car seat itself will fit thru with the front seats in the way. Good luck thought!

Yea i would only use it to pick up my son from school occasionally or quick trips to target with him. For longer journeys we have a minivan. Just wanted to make sure it worked, had to get a specific low profile one for our other 2 door which works but was kind of a hassle.

I’m actually very surprised at how well a car seat sits in the back. Perfectly. I was also surprised there wasn’t any threads on how easy the car is to live with if you have children. Most of the threads say the back seat is useless but I think otherwise with a two and five year old.
