Today's the BIG day!!!

I'm getting married this evening. YAY!!!

Here's the V6 related stuff -> From this point on, I'll have very little money for upgrades...lol. Also, is there a good mounting bracket on the ack to tie some tin cans...j/k

Anyway, I'll talk to you guys when I get back from vacation. Don't break your cars too bad. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!!!

I'm sorry.

Baby seats will fit in the back. However, rear facing infant seat installation? Plan on the passenger's front seat having to be wedged all the way forward with the backrest at an 89* angle. Hope any front seat passenger is short.

And the best technique for getting the child in and out is to back yourself in and sit on the driver's side rear seat, then place the child in their seat, strap 'em in, then get out of the back and into the front. I repeat this drill 4-5 days a week as I pick my 9 month old up from daycare. She loves riding in the noisy RS, and unlike my wife's Grand Prix, she can see right out the back window and look at traffic, everyone waves at the cute baby.

In the US rear facing seats are required until the child is one year old or 20 lbs.

from what i understand about the laws, you can put that seat in the front since there isn't an air bag, i never had anytrouble with mine in the front although i bought an escape to transport the baby around in since you can't really fit a mother and child inthere at the same time comfortably

i've had my niece in the back seat of mine, rear facing. i wasn't sure if she'd be ok with the noise or not...she was about 6 months at the time. but, she didn't seem to mind seeing as how she was almost asleep within about 5 minutes of being in there.
