Default Child Safety Seats Fit In Back?

I'm really looking foward to getting a CTS V but I need to know if childrens baby seats will fit in the back seat and still have ample leg room in front? That is for myself and my wife wer'e both short at 5'8'' and 5'6''. I'd really like to have a C5 Z06 but the V should be the next best thing. Its kind of hard to fit 2 small kids in the back of a Z. Anyone miss there Z?

You should be good to go. I am 5'11'' and while sitting in the driver's seat, had my 6 month old behind me in her car seat. You should have no problems fitting! Not as much room as my wife's Tahoe...but comfortable enough.

Before my wife got pregnant, I was going to buy a C5 Z06...but plans change. I have no regrets buying the car and think they are way better all-around than the c5z's. I actually am picking up my second V tomorrow.

I was gonna get another FRC before I found out we had a little one on the way. So I went with the 4 door Vette instead. Haven't looked back since, and my buddies with Vette's love the V.

I have the Britax on one side and the Chicco infant base on the drivers side. I am 6' and have no issues. The Britax seat is huge also!

I'm 6'5" and my 5'0" nine year old son sits behind me with no problems while my 4 year old sits in a car seat behind my 5'7" wife. There's plenty of room in the backseat.

No problems whatsoever getting an infant seat, and a toddler seat in the back. For me that was a prerequisite before purchasing.

Yeah he's really big for his age. I'm trying to build up his confidence when he does sports because he doesn't realize how much bigger and stronger he is than the other kids.

Of course his daddy is 6'5" 260 too
