In my Evo I fit not only one seat, but three of them. Two Graco front facing at the sides and a Peg Perego rear facing in the middle. They fit great. My daughters love it

This is why I bought an Evo. Need a four door for the kid and wanted the fastest, most fun one available. This is the first car that I actually still enjoy after owning it for almost 2 years. Can't go wrong... even with kids with this car.

And its really funny to roll up to the track with a car seat in your car and beat a Corvette or something lined up next to you

well, depends on the car seat, the position in the rear and how long your legs are. the rear facing car seat we have fit but only behing the passenger seat, with it all the way forward so no one could fit there. wife can still sit behind me. legs are too long for me to put the car seat in the middle. a forward facing seat would be on issue on either side. we decided to just use her quad cab unless i need to take the baby. one she gets bigger, and we use a front facing, i will get the recaro.

I have a recaro in my VIII and it fits in there pretty good. I don't have any pictures of the seat fitment, but I put one at the end of the kid in there He was pretty big, so we got to put him in there on the way home from the hospital. That seat has so much padding and everything in there he doesn't move at all if I have to swerve away from a pothole or something like that. Can't wait until I can turn that seat around though... with it rear facing it really makes a huge blind spot I have to sit up a little and look over the seat when I change lanes and stuff. If you want some pics of just how the seat fits let me know and I'll take some. Oh... and after arguing with his mom about spending that much on a car seat... she's glad we did now

FYI The Evo X has much improved side impact ratings.

+1 on three car seats. I only did it once, and it was a pain in the ****, but I did it. Two front facing and one rear. Two of the kids LOVED it, one looked a little nervous at first but he ended up liking it.

You could fit him in there right away? I thought you had to wait till they hit a certain weight?
