Ain't that the truth - Oh well, it's worth it! Merry Christmas Space!

 

The back seats of these cars have those metal hooks for car seats... just saying! I'd lay a towel under the car seat so you don't get marks on your leather though.

And congratulations on your child. It sounds like this might be your first?

 

It will be my first, yes.

 

Congrats!!

 

Congrats! =D

 

In general, people who have traded their monte in for a more child friendly vehicle, have done it because the monte is a two door. It's a pain in the back to load a child in and out of a two door car. Plus, minivans and SUV's tend to have DVD's and such to keep kids occupied.

 

I've done this in the past and regretted it. I've finally accepted the fact that I'd rather put kids in a car seat in the back of a coupe than switch to a 4 door SUV. Other people think I'm crazy.

 

Thanks man!

Thanks Brit

 

Congrats!

 

I would do exactly what Duane described.
Small waxing towels underneath the child seat to prevent it from damaging the leather.
Also, properly hook the seat to the hooks on the bench seat.

and no, dont need to get rid of the Monte, believe me it can be a pain, but its worth it.
I'd rather be driving with my kid in a Monte than a Mini van.
The worst thing is just being bent over in an awkward position while putting the baby in the back, but that is made up later when you get in and realize you're in a Monte and not a Mini van .
