I have a daughter and have had three car seats in the back for school field trips. No problemo. Like -j- says tho' it's all about the suspension.

i've fit 2 car seats and used the middle seat belt... carried 3 in the back safely. i wouldn't recommend that for long trips though. the wrx is perfect for those looking into performance family sedans. IMO of course.
although i would not recommend that this be your only car. being that my wife has a wrx and i the STi- we sometimes need seating for 5-7 people.. and end up taking 2 cars... for our needs we want a minivan.

My son has a pretty cool car seat, the way it is designed he can kick the back of the seat with his legs though, he is getting some serious dirt ground into the seat back. 
Thinking of putting a seat cover on it until he gets out of the seat....I guess that will be a while as he is only three.
Many people take kids out of the child seat way to early, don't forget that.
Thos RECARO seats are hot, to bad they are just under three hundred dollars or I would pick up one.

I have a 4-year old and a 2-year old. We do okay with the 2 child seats in the back. I have a sedan, so the 3rd (upper) tethers attached pretty easily on the back deck. If you have a wagon and use the 3rd teathers, you may find that the 3rd teathers intrude a little in the hatch area (they attach to the floor in the wagon).
The WRX is mostly used for weekend trips once in a while as it's a bit cramped. Since the kids are pretty young, their legs tend to stick straight out and kick the back of the front seats. Seat covers do help with this though. In all other outings, we take the wife's SUV.
