The reality is that unless you are a midget compared to your 5'11" wife, a rear facing car seat does not fit in the FR-S. Once they flip around to forward facing, it works. I have 2 carseats in the back of mine. Fortunately, I am vertically challenged at 5'6" and my youngest fits behind me. My wife is even more vertically challenged at 4'11" and my eldest fits behind her. Once they get a little bigger and they move into booster seats, they will actually fit better. When my daughter was born, I made a decision to switch from my Acura RSX to a Corolla XRS. I now have since replaced the Corolla with the FR-S. Getting over the initial hurdle for about 2-3 years is the hard part. I have the additional advantage of my wife's car which has grown from Mazda Protege 5 to become Mazda 5 (aka the miniature minivan) and now we have a Sienna SE (aka the swagger wagon). Anytime we need space we have always had her car and my car has always been the smaller of the two (especially now). Congrats on your future son/daughter.
