I am surprised at the number of people that would avoid marriage just to drive some car. I enjoy the companionship of having a wife and the joy of having my son. No material thing is going to change that.
The limitation I see is simply finances. You have to find out what your financial ability to support multiple cars is. If you can afford another vehicle as the primary child hauler then that is the simple solution. Whenever I got out with my family I am driving the baby hauler SUV. Otherwise I drive my coupes. Used cars can be had pretty cheap and insurance is lower than a new sports coupe too.
If finances limit you to one car then you have to make a tougher decision. If you can't afford a secondary used vehicle then I would advise against having a small RWD coupe as the only car for the family. It just does not make sense when you will be carrying alot of stuff any time you travel with the baby. Stroller, bags, powder, diapers, etc. Wait two or three years and when finances permit pick up the FRS/BRZ slightly used for cheaper and have fun.
At age one and over a certain weight the child can face forward. Its a bit more work to put the kid in and out of a coupe but its not that bad. At that point a coupe as the only car could work but the FRS/BRZ is still on the small side IMO.
Ultimately its a personal decision. Good luck with whatever you decide.
