Hi,
I have 3 kids seats in my `65 Bug! One baby seat and 2 booster seats. It`s a bit of a squeeze but they fit!
I take it you`ll be putting your newborn baby in a capsule type seat (or rearward facing maybe), you have to remember that this type protrude forwards heaps an can hit the back of the front seats.
Maybe you could find out the dimensions of a capsule and take a tape measure when you go and look at a New Beetle.
Hope this helps.
Graham.

Here`s a pic of my kids, Sam, Maycie and Ollie trying out thier seats! They do get strapped in by the way, they are just kind of having a trial fit in this pic!

When you buy a NB you will get a special fitted Baby Seat for your NB. So you win both ways, a new car and a baby seat to fit thown in (don't let them try to sell it to you, it comes with all NB's)
