2013 Scion FRS - Will it baby? (Japolink)

Searched 'baby' and 'japolink' didnt see this.

Quote:
If you've already got a viable baby-friendly car and are looking for a second car that will occasionally tote tots, I can't see any reason not to get an FR-S. The fun and engagement you'll find driving the thing more than makes up for the ass-pains of baby entry and limited space. Plus, once the kids get a little bit older, they can crawl into that little back seat their own damn selves and they'll love it back there.

So, the final verdict: Yes, the FR-S will baby. It'll take some work from you, but it's worth it.

Sweet! My wife already told me that once we have a baby, if I want to keep the car, and we decide to take my car, I will be solely responsible for getting our child in and out of the car (child seat) safely Looks like this might be a bit of a hassle, but nonetheless, doable!

And if you want a cheaper priced car seat this one matches the interior perfectly for under 90$

I find leaning against the door with my lower half and putting my upper half in the car I have plenty of leverage for get my daughter into her seat.

One good thing I noticed about this car is that the rear seat is so close, I can reach my son on the baby seat. I can pass him drink, food and etc from the driver seat. I can't do the same with my wife's 4 door car.

put a baby in an FR-S and IF you're driving the car right you may as well call it "Will It Blend?"

I've been using it for my 4.5 year old and 2 year old. A bit more of a pain in the winter with the bigger boots and such but it works. Have done a couple of day trips with all 4 of us fine. But we do have a SUV as well. Car is great when just taking the 4.5 year old to dance class or something cause you can have the passenger seat way up.
