Anticipating a new car....

Wish82 · January 2013

I currently drive a Chevy HHR, which is a POS. Our first baby is due early June. We hope to have a new car by then, but we also had hoped to have it done by now, too, and that obviously aren't happened. My plan into find a carseat that works in our current vehicle, but also seems to work in our new, anticipated vehicle. We are hoping for a new Subaru Outback or Forrester, but are also considering the Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav-4. Any thoughts, either on car seats or my method for finding one? I've been searching car-seat.org for info. FWIW, we think we like the Chicco Keyfit

Honestly, if you can't find the info you're looking for post your question there. But the Keyfit is a good bet. Have you looked at The Car Seat Lady? She has pics of the infant seats and how hey fit compared to each other. It's on her FB page.

Thanks-that is helpful. I feel like what we have is so small, compared to what we're looking at, so we should be ok.

I have a Honda CRV and have no problems with a Graco Snugride or Britax Marathon in it.

Also, some BRU (mine did) will let you take seats out to your car to try them out so you could get the idea of what the fit is like.

Go to the store and try it out! See what fits in your car and what you can easily get in and out.

Hell, test drive the car you are going to buy to the store and d it that way. Wink

I loved my Chicco Keyfit with DD! It was so easy to use and a great harness fit for us. It fit perfect in my little Chevy Cobalt and I'm about average height and DH is tall and we rode comfortably with it placed in the middle.

If you buy a Subaru, what year would you be getting? I have a 2003 Outback LL Bean and the Graco Snugride fit fine in my car - we used it comfortably for 10 months. The newer models are roomier so I think just about any infant seat you'll get will be fine.
