My wife works from home with the exception of meetings that requires her to go in. I work 1.5 miles from home and daycare is 2.5 miles from home. I literally would only use the Z to transport baby when she has to go into the office or I have to pick up the baby from daycare in an emergency. I can go buy an old Volvo for $4K, but the car would just sit and take up driveway space as I rarely drive the Z or the SUV as is. What is the point of sinking all the money into cars that you don't get to drive?
Regardless, I really am trying to see if anyone can think of any reasons why you shouldn't have a rear facing child seat WITH THE AIRBAG OFF. The curtain airbag and side airbags are deemed to be safe based on all research. On my SUV, they actually recommend the rear seat that has the airbag over the middle seat for proper LATCH mount.
