Small Car owners, which car seat are you using?

DS is about to hit the limit on his infant car seat.  I'm looking at getting him a new one today but just about every review I read says that "This car seat is only good if you have an SUV because it is so big"

Which car seat are you successfully using in a car?

    DH has a Prius and we just got a second car seat for it. It's a Britax Roundabout Classic, and it fits well. It's definitely slimmer than the Marathon (which we have in my car). I think any convertible is probably going to be a snug fit in the rear-facing position, but it seems to work well.

    We got this carseat and LOVE it.

    also there is the Combi https://www.amazon.com/Combi-Cocorro-Lightweight-Convertible-Licorice/dp/B00261RQYY

    These are the only two I was able to find for my small car. Everything else was too big.

    I think I need a new car.  I bought the Britax Boulevard CS at the FAO sale last year and there's no way it's going to fit in my car.  I have an Infiniti G20 and the infant seat barely fits in there.  Right now I don't have the passenger seat moved all the way up, but I know I will have to with the convertible seat. :(

    I'd buy a smaller convertible car seat, but I don't think that's a great solution because he'd grow out of it sooner and I'd have to buy another one anyway.  Right?

    I used to be a big deal.  Now I'm just old.

    I have a camry and this is what is in my car.  ITA that just about any convertible is going to be snug in the rear facing position.  :(  Luckily, I don't have people in my passenger seat all that often.

    I'm going to take a look at the Britax Roundabout Classic..  Our car isn't super small, we drive a Ford Focus so I'm hoping that the Britax one will fit.
    The other two smaller seats are probably not going to work with Ari, he is already 23 lbs I also know that I can get Britax Carseats but I haven't seen any Maxi Cosi or Combi seats here in Vancovuer.  I'm going to go out with my sister today to find one that fits.

    we just got the evenflo momentum 65, and it fits alright in our Prius. i think all the seats are gonna be a little snug because they are pretty big, but this one got the best pick by consumer reports and the reviews on amazon were very favorable.
