Re: OH NO! First off, congratulations! Bein' a Poppa is wonderful! I'm happy for you.
I'm living proof, though, that child-seats do indeed fit in F-bodies. Infant seats are no problem whatsoever, and the bigger ones still fit...it's just that your wife will have to sit w/her knees in her mouth. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: OH NO! Congrats <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Way to take one for the team. You can get car seats into a Z28 though. I've seen it done. It's not a good idea though IMO. You're better off with a big SUV or something.
Spin 'em once for you? ****, I'll burn 'em off the rims! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: OH NO! Congrats on becoming a papa, but the excuse that a child seat doesn't fit is lame. My buddy has a newborn and has a infant seat in the back of his SS. Granted we all make fun of him, but it fits. So your wife needs a better excuse.
Don't become one of these people, that as soon as a bun pops out of the oven you MUST get a Minivan/SUV! That drives me nuts! My sister carted around THREE kids in a car (Granted it wasn't a Camaro) and when the fourth was born THEN got a Suburban.

Re: OH NO! Heck, I even ordered extra Recaro material so I can have the kid seat upholstered to match <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
There are even tie down loops in the back for a child seat.. its not like a baby needs leg room.. lol
Good luck and congrats.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: OH NO! My two kids ride in my convertible SS EVERY morning. My hardtop had a bit more room, but they still fit in the vert. Hell last year me the wife and the kids went to Tampa for a week in my hardtop. No sweat. Tell her the baby will fit.
Re: OH NO! Dont do it....when you get a chance to get out of the house and want to blow off some steam and all you have is a mini-van.....ouch, not much steam there. If you have to dump the SS then tell the wife you need an M5 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> !
By the way....CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: OH NO! Car seat fit in my old '95 Z28 and my new '02 Firehawk. My kid is 3 years old and still fits fine when she has to - including with the wife in the front seat.
Camaro's and Firebird's have better crash ratings than most SUV's.
Also, my 3 year old tells me all the time about how much she *loves* my car. Even out of the blue sometimes. We'll be walking through the grocery store, and she say "Daddy, I just love your car". She now makes fun of pbpbpbpbpbffft ricer exhausts and loves the rumble of my car. She's already said when she gets big enough, she wants a car that sounds like mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
See if you can talk the wife out of it, I really enjoy talking cars with my little girl!

Re: OH NO! Dont' do it!! My daughter was 5 when we got the 30th, and I now have a 5 month old, the buckets for TA are even smaller, if they fit in mine, they'll definitley fit in yours! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Tell her she can be the soccer mom, but the Z stays. And yes, they are waaay safer than most SUVs.

Re: OH NO! F-bodies are one of the few passenger cars that have a five star rating in each front, side, and rear impact ratings. Also, a cute baby in a hot car is a chick magnet. MAKE SURE your wife isn't in the car, though... <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Re: OH NO! I have a todler seat in my 98 TA. Fits fine. Every now and then when My wife babysits our nephew we have the todler seat and a carrier in the back. Tight fit but they do fit.
I say if its gonna be your only car (which is the TA is ours), make it a good one.
