Car seat and 2 door R34 Skyline

[Calluna]

We ended up getting a turn-a-tot, it just fits.

I think the back seat of a Celica is smaller than the 34... at least thats what DP says. We can fit a Large adult in the back of ours.

DP has agreed that we'll try it out with the baby in it and if its too hard he'll sell the car. We cant afford to buy and keep (rego, insurance, maintainence, etc) another car unfortunately. We were looking for another car a little while back, then we found the turn-a-tot and discovered it "fits" so that was the end of that *sigh* I agree a 4 door R34 would be much more practical but he wants the one he's got.
Despite the fact that it doesn't fit up our driveway (he ripped the front bar off on it this morning) and it's not at all practical.

We looked at the Audi Quatro as well, I really like it, but again it's just not a Skyline. So it apparently wont do.

If you go to baby stores they'll let you try the seat in your car, even if you decide to get it from kmart or something, try it at one of the baby stores first to check it fits.

As for fitting stuff in the boot, he's thankfully getting rid of his 2 x 6 inch subs and (unfortunately) replacing them with one 12 inch, hopefully the pram we want to get (McLaren XT Turbo) will fit along with everything else. Otherwise he's gonna have to at least lose the sub.

Having not had to ever used a car seat or pram, etc he just doesn't understand. I think after we have the baby he'll realise it's just not possible. lol

ETA the turn-a-tot also rated quite well in a recent article I read ( NSW Road Traffic Authority article) It was rated 3rd for rear facing and 7th for forward facing.

HTH and that I answered everyone,
Good luck
