Sedans with room for two rear-facing carseats?

DJKai529

Hey all, can anyone recommend a sedan that will comfortably fit two rear-facing car seats? We'll have two under two and will need leg room in the front as well. Trying to avoid an SUV/minivan if possible. Thanks!

Honda Accord, we have a 2008 and they are very roomy. I'm tall but I never had to adjust my seat to accommodate the pumpkin seat behind me.

We have a '13 VW Passat TDI. Lots of room plus awesome mpg. Bluetooth for hands free calling and connect to music on my phone.

I googled this, compare rear leg room. I think the Honda Accord, the Hyundai Sonata and one other were really good.

I just bought a 2005 Chevy Impala, and it is sooooon spacious inside. My husband and I are both tall, and we could fit with our little nephew's rear-facing seat comfortably.

We actually fit three rear facing large car seats in our Nissan Leaf. We used two diono RX convertible (infant - forever), and one infant Chicco when I was carpooling my friends' kids and my daughter.

Oh, and hubby is 6ft and has long legs, and he was always fine. We still had room in the trunk for the stroller.

We have a 2006 Ford Fusion. We had our daughter's and our nephew's rear facing car seat in there with no problem. It's also great on gas and a nice ride. But with this being #3 for us we're going to have to trade in our beloved sedan for something that'll fit a booster, front facing car seat and new baby..... I wish I could find an alternative to a minivan or the gas guzzling suburban but I think I'm outta luck *cringe*.

@dani7237 My sister just sent me a carseat recommendation that may also help you avoid a minivan or gas guzzler- a Diono Radian RXT. It fits three across in most mid-sized vehicles. It's a little more spendy than just an average carseat, but it converts from rear facing, to forward facing, to a booster. So potentially you can use this single seat until baby is 120lbs!

@lanaloulittle Thank you so much for posting that. I will definitely consider that seat, avoiding the "minivan mafia" would be a dream. Thanks again.

How do you like the Nissan Leaf? I'm considering switching to electric once we buy a house (we're renting now).

I think it depends on the seat. I have maxi cosi Pria 70s in both vehicles. They are super rear facing friendly for smaller cars.

So I know this is an older post, however  I Currently drive a 2012 chevy cruze 1LT and I'm not sure if i'll have enough space for all my army gear, and baby gear plus a rear facing seat.. should I be thinking about moving up to an Equinox?
