Totsally agree Brayden, can't say that is something that i wanted to do either, her choice even after all the negatives were pointed out. Thankfully I don't have to worry about it now, since she won't drive a manual and i refuse to put a auto in one :D

So for a couple with a child still in a baby seat, you could possibly get away with it. but i would check with your local authorities befor going to far with putting a baby seat in there.

That reminds me of a pic i've seen of my dad's car back in England in about 1970, he had a Sunbeam Tiger ( link for those interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_Tiger )which is a 2 seat sports car, similar in size to a mazda miata with a 260ci V8! He made up a cradle to fit a baby seat behind the seats, and it wouldn't have had too much more space than the mighty boy does behind it's seats!

I've never felt safe in mazda 323's for ford lasers. They just feel unsafe to me.

I can't imagine you would have much leg room at all!
