Well I finally tried fitting the car seat in the Camaro, it only took me a month after our daughter was born to try it, it doesn't fit! In Arizona, kids have to be in a rearward facing car seat until they are past 1 year old. Does anybody know of a rearward facing child seat that will fit in the back seat of an f-body?

Well I went over to Babies R Us Monday afternoon to try car seats. I hauled every single seat they had one by one out of the store, across the parking lot to the car, test fit and back into the store. There were a couple that fit, but they leave they front seat completely and totally useless. Then I get attitude from the manager, "You're just going to have to grow up and get a real car, my father had to get rid of his Corvette when I came along..." I wasn't in the mood and responded, "And I bet there's not a day that goes by that he doesn't regret not pulling out."

So then I went to test fit with other cars and the seat we have. The Pontiac GTO is just as bad if not worse than my Camaro and it's even more difficult to get the seat in and out of the back seat. It actually fits in a new Mustang, it's just in Phoenix there's a 6 month waiting list for GT coupes and 5k over sticker is the norm. It also fits in a G35 coupe, I'm just still in shock from the sticker price. The RX-8 is hopeless.

So it's either put up with the PITA for a few months and keep the vehicles we have, or I'm trading the Camaro for a new Silverado and the wife will get a G35 sedan. It might be kinda' fun to go beat up on BMW 3 series sedans in D stock...
