The missus and I are expecting our first kid this summer. Not wanting to wait until the last minute to research and buy things I got to looking at car seats and realized I know absolutely zero about what I need. My plan is to buy one for her car, a 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman and one for mine, a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Is it ok to just install the car seat in each car and not worry about taking it out until the kid has outgrown it? Putting a kid in the Mini doesn't look like it will be that big of a issue, the Clubman has a third door on the passenger side for easy access to the back seat areas. My Jeep has the fold and flip front seats but to be honest it looks like a royal PITA to constantly install and remove a car seat. Anyone have any experience with this? Are there "safer" car seats to purchase or do they have meet the same standards? Should I be worried about the rear seat flipping up with the car seat installed (don't know if this is possible but it crossed my mind so I figured I'd ask).
Thanks!
