Default First time with 2 carseats in the Formula, anyone else carry babies alot?

So I live with my older sister and her husbend and her car is in the shop right now so while her husbend is at work during the day if she needs to go anywhere, I get to take her and her son. Well she just had a baby girl last month so now I get to take her, my niece and my nephew places. Today was the first day I had all 3 in my car. It was tight and I did have to move my seat but i was still kinda comfortable. I thought it was gonna be alot worse but it wasn't that bad. I'm not gonna lie thou, on days like today, I wish I still had my Escalade EXT.

Does anyone else have a 1 or 2 carseats in there car?

I have one in a lot but not all the time. My girlfriend has a four year-old daughter who sits in back whenever we go anywhere. But she sits behind the passenger seat so it doesn't effect me. I didn't think that it would work as well as it did to be honest. I thought i never had a chance to get a car seat back there. It's great though because she(the four year old) loves when I take the t-tops out or when I rev it at other f-bodys.

I wanted to do the carseat thing for my 11 month old but didn't because of the lack of car seat base anchors in my car. I'd do it in an emergency though.

I had to do that once with my friend and his kids. The kids weren't too happy. I told my friend next time we gotta take his 300.

i carry my two little kids in the car from time to time (3-year-old and a 1-year-old). im only 5'7" so the 1-year-old sits behind me without much issue. though if i have someone in the passenger seat, they might have some leg room issues.

I have 2 daughters and they both go in my car whenever they go with me. I dont move my seat cause my 2 year old fits how I sit and my g/f moves her seat up a lil for the 1 month old.

I have a 6 and 3 year old (boys) and the seats actually dont fit to bad. I just have to be very careful with the long doors while getting them in or out. Plus they absolutely love the car and cruising with me anytime we can. I think they like when they get dropped off at school in it
