Small Car & Car Seat Question

Emilia0101 · June 2010

DH has a 2 door Honda Accord. We bought the car back in 2003 long before we had the thought of having a baby now that it is paid off it is hard to think about wanting to sell it. Does anyone know of any good carseat's that would fit in a small backseat? Just looking for a safe second seat for limited riding in. Thanks!

We have a 4 door honda civic and we use Roundabouts. They work well. We are both short though so we can have the front seats closer to the front.

We have a beetle, but are currently trying to sell it as it's our only car and just too small. We've had both a graco comfortsport and a sunshine kids radian RF and interestingly the radian fit better even though it has a much, much higher harness height limit. It's a seat that takes very little extra space in any dimension, so I'm guessing that's why. That said, my front seat passenger is pretty limited on space because of the RF seat. Unfortunately that's usually DH, who's 6 feet tall, which is part of why we're trading to something else (the other reason is cargo space).

Thanks Ladies! The problem we have is I am 5'10 and DH is 6'2 writing this makes me question why we ever thought a sporty 2 door accord was a good idea. Hopefully, when I go back to work we will find something bigger.

I have a two door Sebring. The ceiling in the backseat is so low I can't even sit in the seat without hitting my head. We got the Evenflo Symphony and it fits perfect.
