Picture of 2 baby seats in the FR-S
 

Our friends just got an FR-S to test-drive for a week and took the opportunity to install his two baby seats in the back. I can now convince the wife we can get an FR-S as a second car :lol:

Let me back ya up some more :)

Hahaha...yes, you can get away with it for now but if you have teenagers above 5 feet, they will not find it very comfortable for more than 15 mins.

Oh those teenagers will have to deal, or ride their bicycle. :lol:
Reminds me of fitting buddies into the back of my 944, which was interesting.

That's assuming you haven't cut off their feet from the knees down.

you know.. you gotta do what you gotta do...

LOL @ their armrests.

Rear facing (what I'd need) would be too tight of a fit, and overall too inconvenient for me. Glad to see some people can make it work.

:thumbsup:

I sat in the back seat at the dealer. Assuming everyone is 5'6" everyone (4 people) will be comfortable.

I took the carseat out of mine and put it back into the WRX. While it works, I feel like if I were to get into an accident there isn't enough room between his legs and the back of the seat in front of him. I can buy another car, I can't replace my boy.

Your kid has a tattoo! :lol:

not to go off topic but they let him test drive it for a week.. if he doesnt buy it then would it be considered used.. isnt that unfair to the person who wants to buy the car and now it has miles on it?.. sorry just wondering

its more the feet and head space if you ask me. Im 6'2" and need to amputate my feet and head if i want to be able to sit there comfortably. Otherwsie, as i say to my passengers, you'll be fine.. harden up :)

I would suspect his friend may be an auto-journalist or some sort who can get this deal. I have never heard a one-week test drive except for auto-journalist who frequently do this for their reviews. The car will be deemed demo after that test drive, I would think.

Soooo... How did you manage to be able to test drive it for a week?

You are most likely correct on the auto-journalist part, but in the end, cars change from "new" to "used" when they have been registered to someone besides the factory. Mileage does not matter. That's why cars sold as "demos" can have relatively high mileage but are still considered new.

I put an Oobr in the back seat - fits fine, but then I need to climb back there to buckle my kid in, which isn't the easiest thing to do - but I've been doing it. Worst is he likes to put his shoes on the back of the seat - will need to buy a protector for that!

I took my sons shoes off as soon as he got in the car. Then put them on again when he got out. VELCRO FOR THE WIN!

if you dont mind me asking, what ethnicity are your kids?

Not at all - they are half Caucasian (which for me means a mix of scottish, english, polish, german) & half Vietnamese.

Don't ask me how they ended up with my light-hair, rather than the extremely dominant asian black hair... :)

Those photo shots cheat as they do not show the seat all the way back as if someone is sitting in front.

Check out the last photo.

I bet if the seat is back the kids legs are bent up and his feet are all over the back.

Scratch gouge scrath.

My 4 yr old sits comfortably behind my wife in the passenger seat.. but yeah, the 2 year old behind me has his feet on the back of the seat.

Scion has a program in Canada called the seeder program. In short, Scion Canada is lending a FR-S for one full week to some automotive enthusiast/bloggers/forum owners/etc to test-drive the car and share their experience.

Awesome!!!

This is GREAT!
Now I feel better :)
