Anyone put a car seat in their coupe?

My little guy will be graduating to a forward facing car seat soon. He always drives in Mom's SUV because there would be no way his car seat would fit in the G as it's rear facing.

Now that the he's going forward facing, I want to buy a car seat so I can put him in the car from time to time. Does anyone have a car seat in their coupe that fits well?

Thanks guys.

done it for my relative's kid. PITA !!!
plus the kid threw up because she didnt like how confining the back was... it was a MESS !!!

that baby seat wouldnt sit flat because the side bolsters (the actual seat part, not the back) is too narrow.

I don't think there are any car seats that fit due to the fact that the back seats are just a bit narrow.

I fit a car seat in mine no problem. You just have to be careful to put some extra padding of some kind under the seat to prevent it from creasing the leather.

I have a forward facing carseat in the back seat of my G37X Coupe for my 4 year old. It fits perfectly and she LOVES riding in the back seat of my car. At this point she climbs in and out of the seat and I just have to buckle her in and unbuckle her out. Granted, it's involves a little more maneuvering than putting her in and taking her out of her carseat in the back seat of my wife's MDX, but it's really a non-issue.

The fact that I found pictures on the web of car-seats in the back of a coupe is one of the bargaining tools I used to get my wife to buy-off on the car

My daughter is 4 and she is a permanent fixture in the back of my G37X Coupe. She loves dada's sports car.

I dont think there is a perfect car seat, my son's car seat has angle adjustments, but it still doesn't fit very well. BEWARE, they (your kid) will start messing with the little coat hanger thingy and start smearing the windows that are so hard to clean. HAHAA Enjoy!
