The kids love the car and never cry. They love the engine noise as much as I do.
Much as some might not think so, there's plenty of space for both of them and we all get to have fun together. It's a great family car.
My son knows that it's a special car and often asks to ride in it. In fact, he often gets upset if I go to drive it without taking him along.

Good looking kids Wayne and thanks for posting the pics!
In the photos, do you have the horizontal rear seat cushions in or out? How about the vertical seat cushions? I see the one behind the rear facing seat is intact but I can't tell if the other one is there or not?

All the seat cushions are there. I normally just put a towel in between the cushions and the child seats to help prevent wear and tear.

Well, if you take out the bottom seat cushions you don't gain much - maybe 3/4 of an inch in height, but the problem is that the seat narrows further, so it's actually best to leave those in with some seats like the Recaro (which is already a tight fit).
In the case of the back cushions you would probably gain an inch, maybe a little more.
It didn't seem worth it to me, and the seats already fit fine, so I left them in.

I actually thought that you might have been commenting on your wife, but wasn't sure.
My daughter is actually a very happy baby. We had three months of colic hell, but one day she woke up all smiles and has been very happy since then... she's a real change from my son who is on the "sensitive" side.

We were impressed at how well that seat traveled. We strapped it (with my son in the seat) onto a foldable luggage cart and wheeled him around the airport in it - everyone got a kick out of seeing him speeding through the airport in his seat. We got that recommendation from a US Airways flight attendant - one of the best travel tips I've ever gotten.
In order to get it to fit in the 996 you have to remove the pitch adjustment bar from the base.

I don't have time to read the whole thread but just want to quickly share, so sorry for a repost.
These are current seats that you can still buy in 2009 that we are using in the 996:
Recaro Young Sport
20-80 lbs, they say 1year old but we werent comfortable until 2years
Recaro Vivo Booster
30-100 pounds and 3-12 years of age
Sorry, never carried the kids as infants in the 996. Didn't have the car then.
