Anyone cart their toddler around in their Evo?
How's a forward facing car seat fit in the back seat? Is there enough room for it to be put behind one of the front seats, or does it need to go in the center? Ride quality decent enough that they can still fall asleep in the car?

I have a 1 yr old and 3 yr old. 1 in a car seat facing forward and the other in a booster seat. the 1 yr old falls asleep with no problem and keep them behind a seat it is safer.

I am trying to sell my mustang to get an evo for this reason. I have put my son in a friends evo (2yr old at the time) in a bulky eddie bauer (sp?) foward facing car seat behind the pass. seat and it fit fine. He loved the ride and could definitely fall asleep to the wonderful exhaust note as long as I didn't keep pinning him against the back with the thrust of this 400awhp car!! LOL. He loved all 26psi on alchy with short safe bursts putting a giant smile on his face! He kept saying gen (again) daddy, gen, go faster! The bov was also quite amusing to him.

My son will be 4 this month and he loves riding in the Evo. There is plenty of room. I put his seat on the rear passenger side and slide the front seat up so he doesn't kick the back of the recaro. I'm just **** like that.

From the time he was two years old and we bought the car I have been putting my son in a forward facing rear seat in my 05 Evo VIII. Usually on the passenger side so I can see him better. The best part about driving him around is hearing him at the stop lights. . . red light, stop daddy, red light daddy, GREEN LIGHT GO DADDY GO DADDY GO! LOL Gotta love that. When my Ex wife got remarried her new husband had an 02 Chevy Tahoe with flow masters and headers. She asked him once " how does Sam's truck sound?" "VRRROOOOOOMMMMM!" said my son. "How does daddy's car sound?" she asked " Zing psshhhht. Zzzziiiiinnnnnnggggg Pshhht!" My son replied! Then the best part! She asked him "well which one is faster?" To which my son replied "Uh Daddies! Duh!" Gotta love the raw truth of children.

I have a two year old and he loves it. I have him in the recaro seat in the middle. It's really up to you if u want him in the middle or the side. The thing with putting the seat in the middle is that as they get heavier (the child) the seat has more play in the middle and slides a lil bit. Falling asleep is no problem
