    Level with the ground? If you are installing this in a farm wagon or maybe a school bus, then maybe that's possible, but all car seats are raised at the front edge and have a butt pocket in them. I've noted before that these kid carseat makers are on some kind of bad drugs.

    So much for wondering why Volvo is struggling. Cadillac doesn't need to target families with their entry level sedan. Families are not their #1 audience. But Volvo had been an automaker of choice for families with young children. Yet their mainstream sedan, the S60, doesn't comfortably accommodate a rear-facing seat. Funny that it would be a safety regulation that made Volvo sedans less appealing to families.

    "I think it's pretty safe to assume that if you've got small children to drive around frequently, you're probably not going to lust over a 2013 Cadillac ATS as your daily driver." Why not? It has a back seat and 4 doors, so that's a big upgrade over what I currently have. I don't subscribe to the silly fallacy that you need the biggest Suburbedition XL to fit your family after you have a kid or two. It isn't a surprise that a midsize sedan works more than fine.

    stovt001, a midsize sedan, yes. An ATS, no. See how any midsize sedan (Fusion, Camry, Accord, Passat, etc.) swallows a rear facing car seat. It will look nothing like the ATS picture we see here.
