Best Convertible carseat for SUV?

hilsy85 · May 2013

We're purchasing an Acura MDX in the next month or so and will be getting LO a convertible carseat at the same time. We're between a Britax marathon or boulevard, diono radian, or combi cocorro. Does anyone have that car, or a car that size, and can give input on the carseat that would fit the best? Thanks!

I don't have an mdx, but I do have a mid sized SUV. The radian will fit your child the longest and will rear face longer if you want to do that. I would also look at the chicco nextfit, it is supposed to be really easy to install and fit in cars.

Those are some good suggestions. I have a Santa Fe (with leather seats) and had no problem installing our Safety 1st Complete Air 65-rear facing behind me (we have to use both sides because we are expecting LO 2) at the right angle for him. It has extended RF (40 inches/40 lbs) and was really easy to install. I've also had no problem putting LO RF in his seat at 18 months-even though I'm 9 months pregnant right now. It also has the air protect feature that actually keep his head from slumping when he naps.

Thanks ladies! Will check out those suggestions!

We had no issues with an Evenflo Triumph DLX in an Equinox ('08). Huge carseat and medium sized SUV, so I would imagine you would be more than set. Evenflo is about the size of a Britax.

My parents have an Acura truck and I recently switched them from a Maxi Cosi Pria 70 to a Clek Foonf. Both fit well.

We have a Radian in our MDX. It fits well with the angle adjuster. We have a Graco MySize/Size4Me in our mini-van, and that would fit as well in the MDX.
