You won't want the passenger seat touching the baby seat. You also want the baby seat base flat on the back seat, not lifted up on the front edge*. (Looking twice, it seems there's a curved base underneath that is touching the seat?) Every bump you hit will shake the car seat badly. Imagine removing the front bolts of your driver's seat - see how violent a small pot hole becomes.

A rear facing seat is tricky in the back of the Twins - you have to give up usage of the front seat in most cases. Note - this is an infant seat. Once they reach about 1 or so, they start to outgrow those and need a convertible seat that is rear facing and can be switched to front facing. Those are twice the size of the infant seats. They won't fit. At some point by age 3 or so, you can turn them around facing forwards, and the car seat WILL fit in the back again. But age 0-1, it's going to be tight. Age 1-3 is pretty much a no-go. Age 3+ is fine.

There's always the WRX as a more roomy family car, though resale on the Twin will bury you.

There's a couple threads here about baby seats and fitting two kids in the back.
