FWIW we have the Britax B-Safe and I tried this a few weeks ago. It was tight. I would not recommend this car seat if you were using it in the BRZ. It works on the rare occasion but is a true PITA and honestly felt dangerous.

I use a suction cup attached ski rack on the roof. Secured baby seat to ski rack with bungie cords and gorilla tape.

we never tried an infant seat as my kids were 3 and 5 when i bought the car, and before buying we tried out a britax marathon which fit nicely
when i got the car i had to scrap the britax seats as they were in an accident, and bought two radian r100 you can see them in this post http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...7&postcount=53 |

I have a Clek Foonf that I tried installing in rear facing, but it was pretty much impossible.....
But I think it's pretty much a given that most forward facing installations shouldn't be a problem..... |

The CIA are shipping FRS's to hot spots in the middle east. They say a long drive in the back seat works better than water boarding for interrogation, buy a WRX for your kids sanity. I'm going on 2 years and never even attempted to climb back there and I only weigh 160lbs..

I dont have a picture to upload right now but when my wife's Volvo is not immediatly available we take our kids in the BRZ (15 months and 3 years).
I'm 6'2" and my son sits behind me in a graco upright (googled an image below) my daughter sits in an inclined seat by graco. My wife is only 5'4" so she just moves her seat up a bit. The BRZ only takes the family once a month if that and just the kids maybe once every other week. So far we have had no problems at all. |

Maybe I'm unusual but I remember being straped in the back seat of my dad's 260Z at 3-4 yo, it was unbearable. Loved the day he bought a BMW 320i. Hated japanese sports cars as a tween/teenager till I drove a Silvia in my 20's. Seriously consider a 1 series wrx, 'stange, gen coupe, etc if you have kids, that newborn may grow faster than you can afford a bigger car.

Haha, yeah, I'll be buying a smaller seat. This was a test fit.

Not saying that just saying that, some kids are claustrophobic as I was. My personal opinion is that the backseat is for an occasional jaunt for someone in a pinch. I guess if your kids don't show signs of discomfort or being smothered/trapped , but I just think there when there are better alternatives. I don't claim to be an expert in child psychology, just bad memories of that 260Z. Sorry.
