Question Strange request: Want to test fit a baby seat into a GC8 coupe!
I'm seriously considering a GC8--WRX conversion and have been looking for a GC8 (or whatever the proper code is) sedan, with little luck. I have an 18-month old and this is mostly why I want the sedan. Seeing how tough it is to find a sedan, I may have to go the coupe route. Sooooo, anyone have a GC coupe in the Sac area that I could test fit a baby seat in? It would only take maybe 15 minutes or so.

Help a brutha out. Thanks!

Chris

Fits a baby seat fine. I have a coupe and I've had my friends baby seat in the back and it fits fine. It's a lot roomier in the back than most coupes. I seat adults in there all the time and no complaints. You do have to do a little juggling to get the seat due to the lack of doors but not bad at all.

HomerJay: That's good to know that it'll fit. I'm also concerned that it will be a hassle getting in and out of there everyday and if I'll get sick of it after a while.

Keep em coming!

FWIW Britax Roundabout is a real nice baby seat I've found, very safe and easy on the cars interior too.

Yeah, Britax makes good seats. I bought a Graco already though. It almost matches the color of my wagon.

AWDConvert, I will be at the Natomas meet Saturday night with my RS coupe if you want to try putting the seat in.

Cool! Thanks! I'll try and make it. I'll be in the bay during the day, but I hope to get back in time.

agree for the roundabout. if your seat has the latch system, I would get a car that can use it. I don't know if any GC8 has the restraints for it.
