Kids anyone?

Trying to decide on whether we are keeping the car or should we replace. We have one 2 year old and might have another. Just wondering how many other have more than one child and a camaro. Do they fit okay?

This is not our only car. My wife drives the more family focused vehicle (crossover).

I have 4 boys ages 6-11. My wife drives the minivan, and I very rarely need to transport kids. Works for us.

I have a 4 month old son. He prob won't ride in the car until he's out of the booster seat. I only drive it solo. and I'm good with that.

We have a boy (4) and girl (20 months old). My daughter has not rode in the car yet. It's not my DD and I haven't wanted to drop in a car seat. It's easy with my sons booster seat to swap in and out

Good luck with that. Mine will not let me go anywhere without taking him

I have 2 boys, three and six, I had a Boxster as my daily driver and needed a 4 seater to drive boys to school, after long research I got me a family car, 2011 2ss convertible.
Boys fit just fine and they love it!

It's my daily driver and since I bought it we go everywhere in it, lately it even became our "Go to Costco " car.
Unless you are very tall ( I'm 5'10) they will fit just fine

will they fit, yes. will you always be cramped and lacking space for both people and stuff, yes. a camaro just isn't a very good family car. what it's capable of doing, and what it's capable of doing well are entirely different. but since the wife has a better vehicle for family stuff, don't see why you'd get rid of your car.

I've got 4 kiddos. 17,14 & 10 year old twins.
On a very short trip all 4 kids were in the camaro with me. Most of them time if all 4 kids need to go we take the Tahoe. But the boys for fine in the back ans LOVE the ride..

My car is fully caged. In all honesty it's not safe to drive on the street. I doubt if he will go much further than around the block. If you ever got into an accident and slammed your face into the roll cage it wouldn't be gd.

But you're right. I should start thinking of plan b!!

My daughter was born in 2008. Literally the day she was big enough to fit in the booster seat I bought my Camaro. She rides behind the passenger seat in it. The car works well for my family of 3, but I can't imagine squeezing another car seat in there. That being said, I'm 6'2" so I need a lot of leg room. We use our Cruze primarily as our family car and usually use the Camaro on weekends when it's nice out.

I have a 9 year old daughter, on the rare occasion all of us are in the Camaro she sits in the back, normally for family outings we use the wife's Camry..

I take my daughter to school every day on my way to work, but she rides shotgun, as it is just her and I.

Part of the reason I am considering a 2016 Corvette Convertible, don't really need a back seat; the majority of the time it is just me in the Camaro.

Wife likes her family car, so I get free reign on what I drive.

Going for groceries, when I could drive the Camaro, I had two boxes in the trunk. I'd fill the two boxes and slid them forward. Then I'd fill the rest of the trunk with no problem and overflow could go forward..
