Help! Car seat for my mustang!?!

Hey there,

My boyfriend and I are expecting our first child together and we both drive the exact same car- 2010 Ford Mustangs (Totally by coincidence). The car does have the car seat latch things in the back but the back seat is very small. Getting a new car isn't really a option for either of us as we're both is grad school living off of student loans and stipends. So does anyone have any experience with a similar situation or any suggestions on car seats to look for. I was hoping to get one of the travel systems where the seat hooks into the stroller but idk! Help please!!

    The travel systems where the seat hooks into the stroller are really good for smaller back seats, actually. The backseat in my car isn't as small as yours, but I do drive a coupe. Now that DD has outgrown the snap-in car seat, I miss it badly! It used to be that I could grab the release from the front seat and just swing the whole seat out no problem. Now I practically have to climb in the back seat with her to undo all the bells and whistles keeping her belted into her "big girl" car seat. The "grow-with-me" car seats also tend to take up more room and sit taller than the infant latch-ins so they'd be less practical for your particular back seat. Unfortunately, I think one of you will probably have to bite the bullet in the next couple of years when your LO outgrows the infant seat, but until then I think you've got the right plan.

    We have a smaller car and have chosen the Cybex Aton for our carseat because it is a lot shorter front to back than most other brands (and it's also lighter!). I'm not sure if it's small enough for your backseat, but the odds are better at least!

    I know babies r us let's try out the car seat in the parking lot to see if it fits. Maybe try that or another store that allows it?

    One of my friends drives a very tiny car and the Graco snug ride travel system fits perfectly in her back seat. It's worth a look.

    I have a grace travel system and it fit perfectly in my giant truck and my fiances tiny car :3 and it's nice because we didn't have to get two car seats or worry about transferring them since it's a detachable-from-base kind we just had to get an extra base and the carrier pops right in and out!
