Well, beat him severely first. Then, you're going to need to take it in. From what I've heard, if you get the front in the back buckle you can't get them undone.

I've heard the same exact thing...hopefully it's an urban legend, but it sounds like it may be true...bummer!

I am trying to get used to the idea of passengers in my car. It appears I may end up with one today.

The 8 is way to small to do anything in, front or back.

Well, my mom has ridden in it in the front before. I took my occasional boyfriend for a short four-mile ride in it back in July. Otherwise I have not had passengers. Today I am picking Bella up from the recall (passed!!!) and have to drop the rental car off. However, my mom and I were going to go somewhere with one of her friends so it seemed stupid to my mom to drive and me to drive when we are going to the same place. So, if we take the rental (07 Camry) and then afterward go get my car I will have a front seat and a back seat passenger today.

I do have a backseat passenger normally though.

Well at tech school I was one of the few who had a car there, so I routinely have had 4-person car loads. Worst time was piling me (5'11") and three tall buddys 6'+ roll at the same time...But we made it work.
