I have an 18mo old, she loves riding in my G. Im 6'2 and I get her in and out the back no problem.

Plus my coupe (2004 6mt) has the child harness straps in the seat, so shes hooked in good and safe (also has straps behing the seat on the top). You'll be carrying your kid everywhere though, no way in hell a stroller is fitting in the trunk unless you get one of those small skinny strollers.

Keep your G and congrats.

 

Sedan is much more convenient, but you'll adjust to things with the coupe.

 

Have your wife drive around a more baby-friendly car. Already broke it to my lady that I won't be getting a sedan anytime soon...if ever

 

What ^^ he said... I had a newborn when i first got my coupe and now she is three years old. I was able to fit her stroller and diaper bag in the coupe along with her car seat no issues to report here. you will be fine.

 

Having two kids (3yr old and 4 mo old) ive become somewhat of an expert at putting the car seat in the back with ease. I WILL NOT alow anyone else to attempt to put it in though at the risk of scratching my panels lol. I have some protector things ( i stole from my sisters house HeHe) that i lay down first to protect the seats from creases and wear and tear. U should definitely get one! As said by others i cannot fit a stroller in my trunk whatsoever so its nice to have a spouse with a sedan when u know ur gonna be walking around...... I will finish by saying this. It is definitely easier putting a baby in that lil back seat then it is trying to make one back there LOL

 

^^^ I've given up tryin to do the dirty in my car (not trying for a kid) 6'6 is not a very good height to move around in the car hahaha.

 

If you can hold out a year then you'll be ok. Gonna be tough getting an infant carrier in & out of the back seat. Once the little guy can sit forward then its no prob. I've got a 3 & 6 yr old and they're good in the back of my coupe.

 

I have 3 Lil kids and it works out great because there not allowed in my car unless it an emergency..😊

 

I just had a new born..an we ride in style lol...i never drive a soccer moms van....NEVER

 

congratz and you should be fine, it'll just be a little more care and work

 

Nothing wrong with a sedan

 

Infiniti actually has on their website a list of approved/compatible carseats for the G. Not sure what year you have but if it's an older one, I'm sure you can call them up and they can give you the list.

Good luck.

 

I think it is actually rather easy to get a 3 year old and a 1 year old in and out of my 03 coupe, surprisingly enough. Although my wife does most of the shuttling with the kids. Both are in car seats, but plenty of room once the seats move forward. Congratulations by the way, they are great!

 

The biggest problem I've found is graduating the baby to a toddler-sized seat. There's no good way to keep it rear-facing (recommended until age 2). At about 18 months, my son couldn't fit in the Graco car seat that had a dedicated base that stayed in my coupe. I had to put him forward-facing in a new larger car seat.

Definitely get an infant car seat that has a detachable base that stays in the car. There's no need to fight with trying to load and unload an infant from the car seat while it's in the car.

It also helps if your wife/significant other is short, because if she's taller than 5'6", the front passenger seat is going to be cramped with a car seat behind it...unless you're short enough you can put it behind the driver's seat.

 

Having my first in October too & trying to figure how does a infant seat get in the coupe. It would just be for going back & forth to her grandmother's . I won't be able to get a suitable car until next year. The wife's IS250 will get a lot more miles .
