Roccos and Newborns

[pats16v at columbus.rr.com (Erik)]

Putting a baby seat in a Roc is a little tight but they go in very well,
until my son was about 2 or 3 with everyone in the car. After that we took
the wife's car everywhere.  When it was just he and I there were no
problems.  Let me add that if they grow up riding in the the car they will
be huge fans of VW's long before any of us I'm sure ever realized we were.
Nathan is four (going on 20)  and he nearly refuses to ride in the wife's
Chevy.  I figure I must be doing something right!  And if all else fails get
an A2 Golf.  Tons of room to haul all your baby needs, and then fold down
the back seat and carry 20 bags of mulch when the wife wants to garden.
Plus they can be almost as much fun to drive, almost.
