Does anyone know first hand if you can fit a childs car seat in the back seat of an FC whether its an infants or older child car seat?

Does anyone happen to have any pics with the seat installed or can they get any pics taken for me?

the back seats on a fc are pretty small.. there perfect for bags of food, beer boxes of bottles. Iono about a car seat. its a lap belt back there though.( A spec) i think the japanese belts did have the 3 point system like how the front ones are on the s4's. but i haven't seen it yet...

IMHO, I think they're small enough to be child seats!
I don't think it would be too good of an idea unless you have a 3-point system or higher anyway.

Yeah but the car seat that I'm using is actually set up perfectly for a 2 point BUT I just don’t know if it would fit. The reason I'm trying to find out more information is now that I have a baby I've came to a cross roads with my car. I've realized that EVEN taking the car out for a nice Sunday drive, running over to the in-laws house or even taking it to the track is no longer an option with 3 people. So now i have to determine whether or not a car seat will fit or I'll have to sell it because taking 2 cars everywhere just sucks.

Ah man, dont sell it, buy a civic somethin cheap with 4 doors who cares how it looks, and take your rx off the road for a while till your more financialy set.

EDIT; if you really have to sell it get a first gen eclipse, decently sporty, 2 doors four seats, and the back seats are a pretty good size.

who knows bro try it see if u can get a hold of a decent set of seats..or better yet ask around your local rotor heads who actually have the seats and ask them to let you try the car seat on there and do as u would putting your baby in and out to see if its comftable for you and the baby

Trust me, it’s not a matter of not having another car because I already have a beater civic, an RX8 and a Protégé 5 but the 7 is my "toy" and if I ever want to enjoy a nice ride with my wife I cant because I would have to find a baby sitter LOL. For how much I love my 7 I also want my family to enjoy it too but that can never happen the way it sits.

It’s funny how life changes you. People use to tell me ALL the time that as soon as I get married that I'll have to sell my car and all my fun would be over. I always told then they were wrong and in my eyes they still are because it’s not like my wife is making me sell it or even wants me to. I just feel that if cars are my passion then I want my family to enjoy it too (and my wife does). But with the baby that can’t happen in the 7 due to seating.

I've sank SO much money into this car it isn’t even funny and have had more bad luck then anyone on know when it comes to a build. It’s been a LONG 5 years and now that the car is finished I feel as though it may be time for an end.

Well since I don’t know any locals that have back seats I'm putting the call out to you guys, help me keep my 7 and show me pics with a child seat in the back seats.

Exactly how I think people should think of sports cars. Don't get rid of them because of a marriage... Either work around it or everyone should enjoy it! It kind of sucks to have many people disappear around the meets because they got rid of everything when they could have just settled...Anyway!
They seem fine if you're putting a child in a baby-seat within the rear-seats. However, space can be limited if someone wants to take a nap and bend the seat back. There are smaller baby-carriages that should be able to fit if yours doesn't (I've never gone shopping for smaller ones but by common sense, I would assume so).
