When you have to use your FR-S for transport what car seats have you found fit better then others?

I tried putting my brothers car seat in the back. It was nearly impossible.

I don't have any pics. As This was all at my parents place. The only way I could get it in there was though the trunk. And even w/ that. The top of the car seat was hitting the rear glass.

I use a generic Safty 1ST seat for my son when he rides. Little tricky to get him in and out, but out works. have to put the seat up a bit. My 17 month old is the size of a 2 year old.

That's one brand I am definitely going to try, any others?

We have a Britax KidFix for my 5year old. Fits very well on the passenger side. Need to put the seat up a bit, but getting in and out is no worse than without the booster seat.

Subscribed. My wife is due in July and i'm curious what people have tried.

StupidCrayon · 12-16-2012, 10:25 AM

Funny enough, thats when my wife is due, and thankfully she is letting me keep this car as of now, keeping my fingers crossed until it comes in.

Here's my wife in the front seat, baby in the back.

My wife is 5-4 and skinny. She says she comfortable, have done trips up to 1.5 hours each way and no complains.

Since this, we have moved up to a front facing seat which fits great.
