Hi all, I'm seriously considering the C250/350 coupe. I do need to install a child seat for my 3 yo which would be forward facing. Anybody tried this? Is there room for this to be possible? We have a SUV for a " family car " and the coupe would be used mostly get to work and back, but I do pick up my daughter every day after school. Any thoughts? Much thanks.

 

I've done the same for 11months... My daughter just turned 5 but sometimes I put my boys in (2yrs)... No problems.

 

Great, thanks for the reply. Do you like your C350 coupe?

 

Love it... The Engine and the interior were the real standouts vs competition.

Only complaint would be gearbox doesn't have a proper manual mode but I test drove most things out there (A5's, 328/335i, e class, TT etc...) and this had the best blend of everything for me...

 

I have a 2012 C350 coupe and have used a car seat (Recaro Pro-ride) in the back (behind the passenger seat) for the past two years with no problem. In a pinch I have even gotten a rear facing infant seat behind the driver's seat. Although I ended up uncomfortably close to the steering wheel, so I don't recommend it often. I will tell you a rear facing seat would work fine behind the driver's seat.

 

I put my 3yr old in the back of our Fiat 500e. No problem for light trips. So the C coupe is fine. I wouldn't want to access the coupe rear seats daily though. Thats what the wagon is for.

 

I know this thread is a bit dated but what booster seat did everyone move to? I find my child's existing booster seat to be too wide for the seats in the rear of the coupe. It fits fine in the old W203 coupe though!

 

In case anyone wonders, the Diono Everett NXT fits perfectly in the rear of the coupe and should convert to a booster just fine.
