Two Under 2

Infant carseat that fits behind passenger seat?!

I am about to have 3 under 3.5, and need to put the infant carseat either behind the driver seat or passenger seat in my car.  Problem is that both my husband and I are tall and our last infant car seat (Graco sungride) didn't exactly fit.  I am looking for a new seat that takes up less room... any suggestions!?

  • What kind of car are you driving? Our snugride fits behind the driver and passenger seat and my husband is 6ft.

  • I've had good luck with my combi coccoro, its a convertible but did well in our little mazda..

  • The car seat person at Toys R Us told me (I have to have both kids behind seats, not in the middle due to positioning of the LATCH system in my car) that the Chiccos are distinctly shorter / more upright and sit better behind a seat - I went with the Chicco keyfit and it works fine behind my driver's seat even when DH drives my car.

    This! We bought the Chicco Keyfit to fit into my Scion tC when I got pregnant with my DD. It as small 2 door sports car. It fit perfectly and I only had to move the seat up a small bit. Since then we've had 3 different cars and it's fit awesome in everyone! I specifically went with it because it was made for smaller spaces. I love my Chicco car seat!

  • We have the chicco keyfit too and while it fits behind the passenger seat, the passenger is almost in the dashboard. It's been in my lexus rx, our old explorer, and now our honda pilot. Dh hated sitting in the passenger seat since he's 6'1. It's better in our pilot but you are still pretty close to the dash.

    Once Baby #3 comes, I get the Pilot to drive. We are going to try out two different arrangements: put DS2 behind the driver, DS1 in the middle, and baby behind the passenger OR put DS1 behind driver, baby in the middle, DS2 behind the passenger. I just don't know if I'll be able to get the baby carrier in the middle since I'm 5'1 and have a hard time reaching the middle of the car anyways.
