not hard at all, me and my GF started off with an Evenflo, the ones you carry with the base stationary in the car

i simply stand outside the door, and with my arm i would snap it into the base while still standing outside! pretty easy

now hes 9 months and were using a front facing seat (hes a big boy for only 9 months) so it doesnt move

we have 2, one for my tc and one for the Wifeys Lexus

good luck and Congrats!

Yep wat chico said, as long as you buy a base with a seat its as simple as snap in and pull out....

I have 2 kids. When i had my youngest one still in his baby carrier i thought it was really a pain in the butt. But once he got in a face forward sitting up car seat it wasn't so bad. But it will still be hard b/c you have to get inside the car in the back seat to unbuckle and carry them out.
This is the type you will Have to get when the baby is 1st born since they can't sit up:

And this is what they will be in when older:

Oh and the one thing that does suck is if you do have the baby in the middle like you're suppose to, even if you have a base, you still will need to practically get in the car to un-clip and get it out. And if you have it on one of the sides behind the driver or passenger seat, it will be cramped and driver or passenger seat will need to be moved forward to accomidate the baby car seat.

^^^what she said...

but make sure, when they get older, not to give thema concussion because you'll hit their head a few times getting out of the tc. lol

p.s...lowered cars are a beotch for an 8 month prego woman to get out of...haha

You'll get really tired of loading that baby into the back seat of a 2-door. OTOH, xBs were _made_ for families with kids, but Scion doesn't want GenXers to know that!
