Can the G baby?

So, can the G baby? I was talking about this with one of my buddies today. The backseat has LATCH attachment points. Anyone fit a forward facing baby seat back there? Or a stroller in the trunk?

Wasn't sure where this thread was going based on the title...now I'm aware.
I wouldn't be surprised if you can fit them in the coupe, there's enough room.

The coupe can baby just fine. My girls can flip the seats forward and push that little button that moves the seat forward so they can get out easier. 5-point harness is easy, using the regular seat belt is a challenge due to the floppy buckle dropping down. My wife found out she was pregnant with our third child two weeks after I bought the coupe, wasn't about to sell it. The whole family can't ride in my car, but I can at least take all the kids somewhere if I need to.

Infiniti even has a document on their website that lists specific car seat models that will fit in the G coupe. https://owners.infinitiusa.com/iowne...ation/snugKids

Babys-R-Us also allows you to test fit the display models, so I spent an hour one evening trying out different combos. Basically the bottom of the seat needs to be narrow towards the rear to fit down in the rear buckets.

A rear facing carrier fits if I buckled in with seatbelt and not using that docking station, otherwise those things are obnoxiously large. Never tried a rear facing car seat, just always took the family car (Armada SUV) during that age until they were big enough to face forward. Rear facing just seems like a nightmare to try to get them buckled in and out.

Getting them in and out when they are too young to do it themselves must be a PITA... especially if they are rear-facing.

This is hard to do even in a sedan sometimes.... it has to be nearly impossible in a Coupe, not to mention potentially dangerous if there is ever an accident and you need to get them out quickly.

Car seats should be rear facing until at least age two

Shop carefully. Some are easier to clean when your precious little one throws up in the car seat

Yep. My car seat fits great Just be careful if you have the back window tinted, the tether anchor is really close to it and you can end up scratching it off when trying to attach/detach the tether.

Some people now say they should rear face even longer, up to age 4.


My G/F's kid is 3...he's still rear facing.



And yeah, I've done two carseats in my sedan. The reclining rear seats make it VERY easy to get the latches tight. Fully recline them, sinch everything up tight, and then pull the seat recline forward one click and it's not going anywhere.

That top anchor can be a pain, can't really see so have to go by feel. I would give my own mom death stares if she asked to borrow my car seats.
