C63c with a baby car seat possible?
Looking to buy a C63c as I've been shopping for one for a while
But the difficulty of getting the car seat in and out is a deterrent from what friends are telling me
Any advice?

Possible, yes. Ideal? Not really.
The challenge with a baby seat, is the back of your front seat will not really allow the infant car seats as they take a lot of room, up high off the bottom cushion of your rear seats.
As they age, convertible car seats fit better, but still, my two boys (3 and 7), still have a tight squeeze in my car.
Not sure if you can buy more space having the little one in the center of the back seat. This is a safer location, but does make putting them in / taking them out, more difficult.

C63 BS, GLA45
I had zero problems with my C63 BS and 2 kids in the back. Was a great family vehicle. Like the jalopnik article says, that trunk is HUGE and can fit a surprisingly large amount of kids crap. I'm not a short guy either, at 6'2" my seat is cranked pretty far back, and there was solid legroom for the 7 year old without complaints. Our now 2 year old sits the forward facing convertible, and before that, a rear facing infant seat. Fits without problems.

I really want to make this happen even if for just a little while.
We have a '12 GL450. And I have a Chevy Trailblazer for sale. My toy/track car is an NSX and I'm looking for a fun/powerful daily.
The E63 would be same motor but this would be a lighter car. ...
Other option would be a BMW M5

No worries. Here are some pics. Those VIP parking spots are awesome.
I have more pics of the forward convertible and the booster somewhere. I'll try to dig those up.
My only 2 issues is that the girlfriend doesn't find bucket seats comfortable, and there isn't room for 3 kids in the back (we have another on the way). I bought a GLA45 to fix the latter, but the sport seats are even worse for the gf.

C63 coupe P31, '11 G37s, '12 RR Evoque Prestige '10 QX56
I've had the car seat in the coupe once. I learned with the first that it isn't easy/comfortable getting a car seat in/out (also 6'2"), have other cars for carting the fam around. Our 3'rd is on the way, so adding a ESV.
With "bigger" vehicles at your disposal, you can make it work. Get the coupe and be happy.

C63c with a baby car seat possible?
Just bought a 2013 c63 coupe. My girls are 6 and 8 and the booster seats fit fine. No problems. However, it's a lot easier with the girls in my wife's GL450. Lol! Good luck.

I'm fine with the kid being able to crawl back on their own. I'm worried about me having to get the car seat in and out

2015 C63 AMG 507 Edition
Reviving an older thread, but thanks to all of you, this helped convince my wife to agree to a coupe!! Enjoy it now while we can! First baby isn't even in the oven yet, but we are collecting the ingredients and practicing.
