not sure if you read my post further up but i do have an outback as the family vehicle, i'm just saying if in a pinch I might need something that'll work for a short trip in case say the outback's in the shop.

But thanks for yours and everyone's suggestions, i'll probably head over to babies r us and check them out in person over the weekend

So here it is.. Wifes wagon is getting inspected, I sqeezed the family into my FRS for a short trip. Babies asleep in the rear facing seat, my 3 yr old is behind the driver seat with his legs pulled up a bit (standard Graco seat), and my wife is 5'2. I was pretty much on top of the steering wheel, but it worked.

Cute family. Looks like you even have room for the diaper bag.

:bow:

fk kids

quick question how tall are you? so far haven't had to squeeze the whole family in the fr-s yet.. good to see the rear facing works, my wife is 5'2" as well

5'11

Time for that minivan.

Do you have any kind of pad between the car seat and seat fabric? I worry about the car seat putting a dent in my alcantara after a while.

ha! never! maybe a sprinter someday though.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did. My Passat wagon has leather and the back seats are permanently marked and dented from the car seats. A few days in the FRS and no signs of any damage. My FRS does not have leather though.
Go for the pad.
