Those of you with little kids. How does the ct fair? I have a 16 month old and will prob have another little person along the way in 6 months so I've seen a review by Alex on YouTube and the ct did well for front facing seats...I'd go for a SUV but at 1000 down 299 I don't think I'll get a better lease deal than this.

 

I have a 6 year old and a 15 month old and I fit both their car seats in there with some room to spare while still being comfortable up front and not feeling cramped. Imo, with 2 kids it's a good car. Maybe 3 kids will be a bit much for this car though

 

I can vouch for 1 kid and 1 stroller. As long as you dont have a rear facing seat behind the driver, it'll work. HOWEVER, I doubt you can do a double stroller in the trunk.

 

1 month old baby here, the rear facing pushes the front seat really forward that makes the mom a bit uncomfortable for long ride, we use the baby hauler for that

it is however fine if she's driving the car herself + 1 stroller in the trunk and whatever bags she needs

I would not really recommend this car for 2 kids, just simply too small

 

hmmm, what to do... had my mind on the ct or possibly the new acura rdx...but you can't beat the ct's mpgs..

 

I originally wanted to buy a CT, but have the same issues so putting that thought on hold for now.

 

it's tough trying to have a daily driver with excellent mpgs and that it's roomy...

guess for now i'll be looking at the kia sorento, acura rdx, lexus nx, toyota highlander

 

You dont have the baby seat in the middle?

 

the LATCH system does not allow to be mounted in the center seat of the CT

 

It doesn't? What about just using the inner latches on the right and left seat?

 

CT's LATCH was not designed to be used like that so I wouldn't risk it

 

I tried this already and it doesn't work. There's too much play. If you try it out yourself, you'll see the designers must of purposely designed it for right or left seat placement. This is not unique to the CT. My Mercedes is like this as well, but on the Acura before these it worked.

 

for your safety and your kids' safety

read here on why you should not do that on cars with LATCH anchor not designed for center seat use

yes you should never use the inners of the latch system for the middle....i've been to the CHP before to get an seat inspection and that was a question they covered..

with that being said i'm still thinking about getting the CT....i do alot of city driving and currently pumping once or twice a week...

 

What's the middle rear anchor point for? Behind the seats in the back, is it for a different way of hooking up a car seat to the middle position then?
