Default back seat space

How well will the 02 T/A's fit two toddler seats in the back seat? This vehicle will not be the primary vehicle for the kids transportation but they will ride in it 30% of the time. By the way I do not have the WS6 yet.

People always talk about kids fitting easily but adults being kinda cramped, so for toddler seats I'd think it would be fine

I would advise taking the seats and trying to strap them in.. Checking the pain in the back factor

I just got a 01 WS6 and i have a 5 mo old. we tried the rear facing quick change
car seat/carrier and my wife couldn't fit in the front seat. however, with just putting the carrier in the seat and seat-belt strapping the carrier my wife fits just fine (wife is 5'4") . front facing seats are no prob.

I am sure the infant seat would be a problem, since its a little longer. The toddler seats will probably be ok, the only thing I see as a problem is that Im 6'4" and my wife is 6'0. Oh well, Im still getting it!

Thnx, Will

by the time those kids are toddlers they'll pass for 10 year olds, then you wont even need car seats

my dad got the short end of the height stick in his family, hes 5'8" and his brothers are 6'1" and 6'3". therefore, i got the shaft too

Yeah, but then what do you strap it down to? It would fit nicely though.

I had my godson who's three strapped in behind me in a forward facing carseat a few weeks ago. The seat went in easily, but I had to move my seat way forward to make room for his feet. Not something I'd want to deal with on a regular basis.

My oldes which just turned 2 is already a big little girl. She might be ok on a booster. Like I said, Im am dead set on the car. Im gonna make it work somehow. Taking the seats is a good idea none the less.

Well I guess I'll say what any other newbie will say..."Im not gonna mod this car to death"....I already have a spiral notebook of mod options and cost, and every fbody link imaginable. The only thing I have going for me is that Im very thrifty! My wife also gives me soooo much crap about looking at the site so much. She says whats the point of looking at the site every single day. Some chicks just dont get it.
