Default IS300 and kids??

I am thinking about purchasing an IS300 and wanted to know your thoughts about having this car with two kids (3 and 5 yr old). Is there enough back seat room, etc? Thanks for your thoughts.....Kurt

Depends on how tall you are. If you are really tall then the back is a real tight. My suggestion is to take your kids to the dealer and all of you sit in the car. That way you would know for sure.

I'm all of 5-7 and I can ride my two in the back w/car seats really well. I guess if your 6ft and over you may have some difficulty but at my height it works out fine.

I'm also in the 5'7" club and put my 3 y.o. in her booster seat behind me. She fits just fine. I also have 17 month old twins but I don't think all 3 will fit in car seats. That's why my wife drives a Honda Odyssey.

I am 6 ft tall and my 5yr old and 7 yr old fit in the back seat, I have the seat all the way back with my 7 yr old behind me, it's tight but not too bad.
