I've had a baby seat in mine since I got it.
fyi; he also wears moccassins or socks exclusively, shoes would kill the back of the seat!

Baby, toddler and booster seat all fit well. I have 4 children and am constantly switching seats to take one this way or another that way and none of them have ever had a problem. The sock/ moccasin thing though is almost a must when your kid starts to grow big enough to kick your seats. I still get on my 9 year old every time she gets in the car to keep her feet on the floor and not up under her or on the seat in front of her.

For me, it was too much of a pain to get in and out of a rear-facing baby seat. I only used it maybe twice. But once they are forward-facing, it's a breeze! I just add a Baby on Board sign and I'm good to go... hate it when people "show off"...

Yes it does. I have a graco snugride 32 infant seat and it fits quite nicely. The front passenger seat is a little tight, but hey - the kid doesn't complain.

Children should be kept in a dark closet and only taken out on special occasions and never to ride in an RX8

one bit of advice affter 4 years of a car seat in mine put a towel under the car seat helps keep junk out of the cracks and keeps plastic sides from diging into your leather

It's one of the reason why I exchanged my S54 M Roady for an RX-8 (as opposed to G35, 350z, 330ci zhp, TT etc) years ago when I got a new baby. Britax Marathon fits snugly in the rear seats. Easy ingress and egress. My daughter loves "daddy's car".
