  2. Short answer: yes.

    Long answer: not EVERY rear facing seat for every child will fit in a mustang. Is it for a newborn or an older baby? Newborns require a 45 degree recline angle, which means the seat will take up a lot of room, just plan on likely not being able to use the passenger seat in front of it. I would suggest putting it in the middle so the back of the child seat could poke in between the 2 front seats, allowing more space, but if memeory serves me right it seems like mustangs don't have a middle seatbelt.  Best best for small cars: Evenflo Triumph Advance or Cosco Scenera. The Cosco Scenera makes a great rear facing seat, especially at only $45, but it does not make a great forward facing seat, so plan on needing to get another harnessed seat when the child is 2-3 years old. But it will fit. Evenflo Triumph Advance is a great seat all around. The Evenflo Triumph Advance (not the original Triumph, make sure it says Advance) is a great seat. $150 version at Babies R Us has padding similar to Britax seats, top slots of 17", harnesses to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs forward facing. $120 Walmart version just has little less plush padding. Wide open belt path, easy to install, though it doesn't have built in lockoffs. The harness adjusts at the front of the car seat, you don't have to take the car seat out of the car just to raise/lower the straps. It's one of only 2 seats that does this (The Britax Boulevard is the other, I believE), and it has infinite harness adjustment so the harness always fits perfectly until its outgrown. No more tugging straps to tighten them either. You tighten and loosen the harness using k***s on the side of the seat. As a major bonus, it can be used in a recline position even in forward facing mode. Awesome for kids who still sleep in the car. I LOVE THIS SEAT! LOL My son, who is too big for every other car seat at Walmart has the same amount of room in this as the Britax Marathon.

    You can get a rear facing car seat in almost any car: a car seat tech got a rear facing Marathon (one of the bigger ones) into her husband's Porsche911. If it can fit in there, it can fit in a Mustang. If the baby is older, 6+ months, the seat can be put at a lesser angle, 30-45 degrees, giving more room.

  3. It depends on which rear facing carseat you're talking about.  Some of them take up less space than others.

    If you take the car to babies r us they'll help you try out carseats to see which one is the best fit!

  4. Probably not
