First off, congratulations on your baby girl. Second, your too vague on what you want. Do you want to go for looks? Performance? Suspension? What is your budget? Etc. I hope you can be more clear on what you want.

Hey congrats! I have two boys at home, 7 and 10. When they were wee, I just used a large towel or blanket under their child seats to help keep flying milk, snacks, barf, etc. off my upholstery. I hope that is what you meant.

If you want to mod your car, consider a quality child care seat for infants!!! Congrats dad, as they grow the smell changes...

Congratulations bro. Use ozium in the ac vents to freshen the car up. Let it air out a little too, the smell will still be there. Don't use any of those other types of air fresheners. If your kid has allergies which you are unaware of, it can cause problems. I found that out the hard way after a few doctor visits with my 1 yr old. Otherwise, as marklevinson1 said, keep a relatively thin towel under the seat to protect from barf, etc. If you use one that is too thick, it will slide around and not stay under the seat very well.

Congrats and like everyone said above family>car. However both can be concidered at the same time. Since you have a baby girl the mom I assume will be riding in the back for a while to keep an eye on her. So maybe get one of those orginizers that you can put stuff in for the back of the passenger side seat. Ohh and research your baby bottles that you plan on using. I recommend getting the drop in bottles because they are cleaner and keep air out which is important to keep in mind so the baby doesn't get gas. Less gas=less spitup/crying. Ohh stay away from Binkies. Once you introduce them it's hard to get them away. Ohh also those backseat wideview mirrors are nice.

Congratulations. When my kids were babies and older I had matching colored towels on my seats to preserve the seats, from barf, baby seats and other seat-destroying things. Also, I never allowed food in the car, only drinks with lids. Baby bottles were fine too. So, that plus maintenance like Zaino will keep your car looking good through the child years and beyond.

Congrats on the new baby. Try not to worry about her being born so early, I am sure that she will turn out fine. I too was born premature (3 months premature weighing in at a hefty 1lb 3oz) in the late 70's and I turned out just fine. Technology and medicine have come a long way since then. Keep your faith and hope.

Back to the car stuff - get lots of terry cloth or microfiber towels and natural cleaning products for the spills.

With the birth of your daughter, you have now an even more sacred responsibility than taking care of your Maxima. Good luck and enjoy her (and don't forget about the wife in the process!)

don't forget to pick up a car seat protector. the car seat will leave marks on your leather. my wife and i have one in our cars. it will also collect any snacks that will fall out once your daughter starts eating on her own. everytime i pull my son's car seat out, there's a bunch of cheerios, goldfish, etc. that collect under the car seat.

good luck!
