Yep I can't imagine for a second you will ever get a full size pram into the boot of a coupe.

And you won't get a rear facing capsule (which they need until they are 6 months or 9kg) in unless you have the passenger seat COMPLETELY forward (ie. basically unable to seat a passenger).

An actual baby seat (for 6mths+) fits easily and my 3 year old gets in and out easily on his own.

Any chance you could post a pic of this setup? A V35 coupe has been struck off our list, but if the rear child seat is actually ok for a 2+ year I'd love to put it back on the list of options.

Cheers

i literally went to Bubs shop as well as the Mothercare and checked to see if the safe and sound compaq fits.....rear facing is a bit of a pain for the passenger but front facing is a easy deal....pretty confident there wont be any issues....

First of all Congrats... we just had a Baby Boy 5 months ago. Best thing ever!... but get your sleep! haha

I took my back seat out of mine so I can't help you there. I know you've probably already considered this but just a warning, putting a baby seat at the back of a coupe is obviously not as safe in regards to an emergency. Also you have to consider the position of the air bag in the rear. I spotted a warning sticker somewhere there when I was first considering putting a baby seat at the back seat as well. It was in Japanese but from what I gather, if the airbag goes off, the impact of it hitting your newly born may be harsh. Don't want to scare ya but its good to know.

+1 for hiring a babyseat\capsule. Cheaper option for the 1st 6 months because you'll end up replacing it for a bigger one anyways.

+1 for importing the mother\dad\brother-in-law or anyone really for help!

Also regarding a lifted seat for your Mrs to make it easy for her getting in and out of the car, I bought a Tummy Sheild for her. It'll lift her up a tiny bit and protect her tummy and your baby. Check it out: http://www.tummyshield.com.au/default.php

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
