DH and I have been having a heck of a time trying to find an infant car seat that fits in his 2007 Subaru Legacy. The biggest challenge is that I am tall (5'11", DH is 5'9") and we have a 5 y.o. who sits in a booster. We went to BRU, tried a whole bunch and the Chicco Keyfit 30 *seems* to fit the best, but not without us pushing our seats up and cutting into our legroom. The Chicco Nextfit coming out in late March seems promising, but not sure since we can't try it out till it's released. Anyone have any recommendations? Why are infant car seats so darn big? TIA!
Re: Which infant car seat best fits an '07 Subaru Legacy?
You know the Nextfit is a convertible, right? Here, this is from the Car Seat Lady.
You might look into the Radian with angle adjuster or Graco Headwise/Size4Me/MySize when it's time for a convertible, in that car, given your stats. I'm sure the Foonf would work too, but that's a sticker shock.
Infant seats are big because of the base and the necessary recline. If you want to go straight to a RF convertible, most of them actually take up less space than an infant seat.
