So my wife and I have a 6m old baby girl, dog, and maybe one more in the future. My current car is an 09 63 with about 18k miles on it and had it for about a year and half. Due to a lack of planning on my part I never tried an infant carrier or car seat in my car. With either latched behind the passenger seat there is no room for a front passenger. With it latched in the center there is no room for another seat or dog on the side. So to the questions....

Does anyone have any experience with a 2011 e63 as a family car/is it any better or I really like the 12 CLS 550 launch edition if anyone has any other info it. Of course any other options are welcome.

Thank you

I have an 11 and have no problem getting a carrier or a child seat behind the passenger seat.?

Not ideal, but ok for 3 and a dog.

Sorry I should've described it better. I can fit a carrier behind the passenger seat but even my wife at 5 foot nothing has her knees in the dashboard with it there.

Anyone like the X5m?

I'm not actively planning a kid....but I guess anything can happen.

Really, you can't fit a passenger in the front with a child seat in the back?

Are there lower profile seats out there?


We have two Great Danes so the dog thing is a whole other set of problems for me....

For sure the C63 is not as roomy as a cls or suv.
It all depends on what you are looking for?
A family hauler, a sporty family hauler, a super sporty family hauler? lol!
In the first case there are plenty of luxury SUVs out there matching.
In the 2nd case a X5M is not too bad or a jeep grand Cherokee SRT8 or porsche Cayenne GTS ...
In the 3rd case you have bigger sedans like the cls/E class/M5/porsche panamera and such.

I had a 2008 E63 and now a 2009 C63 and by far, the E63 was a much better family car in terms of space, ride feel and overall luxury comfort. If you're planning to grow your family, then something like the E -class (AMG or not) would be better.
