Mustangs & Carseats!

[KcMstang]

Here is the situation. I love mustangs, I've had 3 in 24 years of life. I bought a house because it was on Mustang Drive. I've gotten a real BAD itch to go and get a new S197 GT. Also my wife is 16wks prego so that means we will be hauling a youngster around come Febuary. Right now I drive a '06 Tundra Double-Cab. It has plenty of room and has been a great truck, but I WANT a mustang! My wifes car will be the main way of transportation with the kid but if I ever did need to throw him/her in the back of the stang is there enough room? How hard is it to get in/out? I'm willing to down-grade to a 2-door car and deal with a little discomfort...plus how can I be the coolest dad in the world driving a Tundra???

The rear facing car seat presents a problem because it takes up so much room. Your passenger will be kissing the windshield. Just you and your kid is no problem. We drive a tahoe with the whole family (2 kids) and that's working out just fine. Once the kids are old enough (and big enough) to fit in a forward facing booster style carseat, it will be fine. Hope that helps.

Well that d-bag they have on the Toyota Commercials really looks like the worlds coolest dad, and he drives one.

Seat fits ok in back but now that the grandyoungin is gettin bigger the person in the front has to sacrifice leg room.

After awhile when the kid gets older, I believe you can put the babyseat where he/she can sit with baby seat facing front. I dont know if this can be done in the mustang. If such is the case, buy the 'stang and use the existing car until the baby can ride forward.
