Dowz 1st Gear August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 Hi brothers, I was just wondering, if it is possible to have a baby chair in a 2 door or a 2 door convertible. Thinking of switching to a another car, but need to find out first. Is it possible in the first place, and if not, is it terribly inconvenient? Can you share your experience? Thanks in advance! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfy3769 2nd Gear August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 got one friend driving the mini (that sport version.. dont know what it call)... also 2 door.. after baby arrived, change to a four doors.. also dont think u want to leave the baby at the back seat.. u sure need 1 pax to sit next to the baby during trip... so u wife/maid/MIL etc will need to be @ the back seat...u think it will be a comfy trip or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yongwd 1st Gear August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 yes you can! however u risk breaking your back too much of logistic nightmares with a 2 door Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicz Clutched August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 I've come across a baby in the rear seats of a 911. Lucky kid. 3er coupe rear seats are pretty spacious. Should not have a problem with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 No so much problem with an infant seat at the back for me with my E250 coupe, Off course its a little inconvenience, but that's the price to pay for a 2 door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckduck Turbocharged August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 (edited) i 4 dr car already stress, wat for add more stress... also add stress to ure wife & thats the last thing u want when the baby arrives. no worries abt long cars like bmw coupw which is irritating for our tight carparks, make it worse w a baby to move. i drove the bmw e92 coupe n the door gets in the way when in tight lots, which is most of the time when u go malls. To get the baby out is like body contortion i guess. Edited August 28, 2011 by Duckduck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowz 1st Gear August 28, 2011 Author Share August 28, 2011 Thanks for all the replies bro. I guess, one way is the get a convertible, and open the top everytime you want to unload the baby! (ok, maybe unload is not the correct word to use!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just open the top! yup, that works as well. but make sure , you have boot space. Most coupes or cabriolets have the slight problem of having a small boot. Thats why i picked the 6er. big big boot. basically as big as 5er, Eclass or any other big saloon. Hardtop cabrio, very small boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your wifey was carrying your child, were you cruising on a 2 door coupe? Or did you have a 2nd 4-door car? My car is rather spacious as a 2-door, but the seats are kinda cumbersome and heavy. With all the complications to pregnancy like morn sickness, etc is a 2-door coupe coupe unsuitable for pregnancy? Not having plans in the near future, but that would probably be one of the factors to consider for my next ride... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
