I don't see what lifting a vehicle would have to do with a baby seat. As long as you can lift the kid into the car, I think you're golden! And you know, maybe start the kid on jeeping early

I have a three year old in a car seat and a five year old in a booster. No problems at all after four years. My sons love it and don't like riding in my wife's car.

I'm on my third kid. I got the 4 door with kids in mind in 07. Lets just say we now have a sienna for family stuff. The jeep, 4" lift and 35s was fine with the first kid, but no good once the wife was pregnant and I was deployed. She couldn't get the car seat into the jeep and even when tried two car seats it was a lot of leaning in and climbing up. Well take the three kids for rides in the jeep, all in car seats, buts its a pain.

We have a 4 1/2 and a 1 1/2 year old and no problems with a lifted Jeep. I have a 2" OME HD lift which netted me closer to 3". They love it. The only problem is how difficult it can be for my wife to get my youngest in the middle seat.

I have 3 car seats in the back of our 4-door. Diono R100s. They seat my 4-year old twins and my 1 year old. The 1 year old sits in the middle, and he's the hardest to buckle in. Have a Teraflex 3" lift, but I think it's actually 4.5 inches higher as TF run tall.
