Infant Car Seat? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Carbinebbq · 07-28-2017, 12:51 AM

Yes, I searched the forum and many of the recommendations were for toddler seats. I'm looking for a rear facing infant seat that will allow a passenger of 5'4" to sit comfortably. Been looking at the Chico KeyFit, but I'm open to suggestions/Experiences. Thank you.

I've installed the keyfit chicco base and rear facing infant car seat. Sorry to say but you will not have enough room for the front passenger. My wife is 5' and she would not been able to fit.

The rear facing is a pain. It just won't fit, fit the seat on the passenger front seat and have your wife sitting in the back.. I switched to a Recaro front facing seat after 9 months, that fits great.

front facing at 9 months old?

Yeah? Not sure about the legislation in the US, but we have these 'group 1' seats, front facing from 9 kg. At 9 months my little girl was 9 kg. She's now 1,5 years and loves to drive in the GT86 (actually drove 3100 km during a roadtrip last week). I know legislation is going to change here though to only Isofix and front facing from 15 months, but it differs per region.

It's based on weight not age
