calling all Dads !! Baby Car Seats and E92s?

anyone have any experience with getting a car seat in and out of the back? Do the car seats fit pretty snug back there? any thing I should be aware of?

Yes my wife has the SUV and we have 2 infants at home

You will be amazed to see how easy it is to put and take out car seat, simple just go to any dealership and take your car seat and put your self and see.

The from drivers and passenger seats go all the way to the front to give you lot of room to get in and get out, an of course not as convenient as E90.

Hope this should help, go for it and you will love it

Main reason I went E90 vs. E92 I tried the car seat thing in both cars when I took them home for test drives.... E90 won hands down!
Good Luck!

Yes, the additional two doors will do that.

I sold my 2-door and bought the e90 for this reason alone. It's not just about putting a car seat back there, it's about somehow getting them seated in the car seat, jump seat or whatever you put back there and then somehow getting them buckled in properly. Most kids 4 years of age and younger are unable to buckle themselves in. I still don't trust that my 5 year old even does it correctly all the time. I got fed up with trying to turn around in the driver's seat and buckle them in while wrenching my back or getting out of my seat and somehow leaning in through the passenger door and trying to buckle them in.

Personally, I think anyone who has kids that need this kind of help has no business buying a 2-door unless there is almost no chance the kids will never ride in the car or it's very, very rare.

That's an awesome child seat. Where did you buy it? I'll have to pick that up for my nephew.

One day I took my Recaro Signo out of our SUV and tried it for fun in the e92. It simply doesn't work facing backwards, not enough space to maneuver, but it seemed more than fine facing front.

Think about the door hanging open when it's raining and your ass is getting soaked because you're buckling your kid in the car... Honestly, I didn't even look at the E92 - I had to have four doors. My kids ride in my car every (school) day. It's also kind of hard to have three kids in the back seat of a coupe.

I did that for a bit until I found a black seat protector to match my black leather. Most of em I found were grey or tan, or they fall out of position dreadfully easy.

Funny you bring this up. I just picked up 4 Recaro booster seats for my kids and just got them delivered yesterday. 2 tan for my e92, and 2 carbon for my other car.

They were on sale for $64 each at babycatalog.com. No tax and free shipping. Awesome deal
