Anyone Using Car Seats?

Planning on ordering a G87 to replace our G20 as our second car so it would need to occasionally transport my 4 and 2 year old kids. Anyone using front-facing car seats in their G42? How tight is the room in the front with a car seat behind you? How hard is it to get the kids buckled in? I would appreciate any feedback, am I pushing my luck by downsizing from the 3 Series to 2 Series?

I have a car seat on the passenger side for my 6 year old. There is enough room for him when my wife sits in the front, but she is only 5'3". I think for short trips you will be fine as long as your family are of average height.

The one thing I was worried about was room in the back, but now that I have my car, there really is plenty. I have both my kids in the back very comfortable, every day. 3 year old in front facing seat in the back and 11 years old in the back. Fit no problem... And they enjoy it back there. No worries...

I am going to have a 7 year old and 10 year old in the back seat. We had a clek booster which we tried in the back but these are a very wide design so for my youngest to clip the seat belt it was hard. I am going to pick up a smaller booster for her but she is almost out of them now as well.
