My son rode around in the back of my car. I have a 00 GSR with leather. We had no problems with the rear facing or forward facing baby seats. Just make sure to tighten the belt as much as you can and once it is tight pull the belt all the way out and then let it back in to lock it so there wont be any slipping. Now with twins you will be a little cramped in the back but they should both still fit no problem. Congrats on becoming a father and good luck with the baby's. It is a great experience and is a wonderful feeling when you get home from work and you hear "hi hi hi, daddy's home" It makes me smile everyday. If you have any more questions let me know or PM me.

The base makes it really easy to get it in and out. So much less time.

They change the designs all the time!! LOL! make sure you try them out throroughly in the store before you buy it. Some of them can be difficult to operate especially in a smaller car where space is limited. Speaking from experience with two kids of my own...I sold the Honda and bought a bmw wagon to alleviate my space issues and safety was also a factor, a 4dr will be a little easier...trust me!!! But, I still have my CRX and my CBR

4drs + Kids = If you won't be using the Integra as the main transportation for your kids then you are fine. Most of them will adapt or leave deep creases in your seats! LOL! Put a towel down first...it helps a tad. Congrats on the twins bro!

Do NOT put a baby seat in the front passenger seat of an Integra. They do not have any sort of mechanism to cut off the passenger side airbag. If you have a wreck and the airbags pop, your baby will most likely be dead. Your baby MUST go in the back seat. If you can't get the seats properly into the back, then don't drive them in the Integra at all.

Please stay safe, because their little lives cannot be replaced.

You were asking about baby seats that fit in the bucket seats. I assumed you were talking about the front passenger seat? You should never, ever put a baby seat in the front passenger seat of an Integra.

Also, I'm not a father yet so I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure that newborn kids MUST be in a REAR-facing seat, until they are about 20 lbs, I think.

This is true. After they hit 20lbs they can sit in a front facing seat. I don't know what the average age is on 20 lbs but my son was in a front facing seat at about 3 1/2-4 months. But my son is a giant and is a whole nother story on it's own.

yeah they have to be rear facing but honestly i think they will ride in the wifes car until they can be front facing,around3-6 months approx.

and yeah they are expensive but you have to think about how expensive the property riding in the car seat is,priceless.that should be a commercial,lol

Yeah but you should also conisder how much of that price is just the name, when other less costly seats will no doubt be just as safe.

My wife had me pick up some sort of kid seat and it was a pain in the *** to get out. I had the seat pushed all the way open and the thing barley fit between the seat and the door jamb. Doing that one time sold me on getting a roll bar with plenty of cross bracing so nothing can go in my back seat.
