    Yeah I'm thinking maybe new car! We had to get another car (car seat would not fit in 200sx, similar to your DH's car + not safe at all). However, DP still insists on keeping his stupid ginormous subbie and putting it in the new car even though he knows that it's not going to fit with the pram as well...

    Silly boys, but sorry sacrifices need to be made!

    dp had a R32, our car seat fitted perfect, however dd is 2, so its forward facing.

    have you tried a capsule? not sure how they compare in size.. just a thought!

    i had a hyundai excel when dd was born, our safe n sound car seat fit in the back perfectly.. we had it in the middle.

    Hi Heva, just curious, did you find a car seat?
    I have a 3 door car also (Celica), and am wondering what will fit in mine once I have a bub.
    I was thinking a capsule (but have also read they take up room) and then get a front facing seat. I saw a girl the other day with a teeny chirade and she had a safe n sound unity capsule in it, and didn't seem to have a problem with that!

    Haha it's not just men and their babies! I myself have an R34 GTR Skyline and an R32 GTS-t, my Husband has a Supra - We're selling the lot! They're just not practical for parenting! Hubby's getting a new Navara and I'm getting a new Turbo Audi Quattro - Much safer, more practical, less of a money pit for me as I won't want to mod it and still has lots of go to be an enjoyable drive - Not to mention a step up in class! Have you thought about maybe getting an R34 4 door or just buying another cheap little family car and keeping the R34 Coupe as well? Sorry, prob not the answer you were looking for... I'm not sure of any car seat that will fit, not to mention pram that will fit in the boot and all the other things that come with baby...
