Newbie question - Brio Zento and Britax two way

[kingschild]

Hiya, don't know whether anyone on here can help but i am undecided between the Brio Zento and the Britax two way. Both to go rear-facing. i just wandered if anyone can give me the dimensions of the seats including the measurement from the car seat back to the back of the child seat so i can work out how much space is needed in the back. (sorry if that doesn't make much sense)

We are trying to work out if we can fit two seats in our car and still be able to drive and use the front passenger seat. So i need to figure out if one requires less space in the back than the other :)

TIA :thumbsup:

I moved this to the CDN and International forum since I know we have some members there who are familiar with these seats. :thumbsup:

I added the seats in question in the title to get the attention of those familiar to the seats.

We have a Brio Zento, its goes in the middle seat in both of our cars (Honda Civic, Honda Orthia) & there is no trouble with foot room in the front. The length of the seat depends on how you install it, you can install it with the foot up, reclinded slightly which takes up more room or you can install it with the foot down which takes up less room. The length of the seat is approx 45cm at the base & 60cm at the widest part. The seat back is approx 60cm tall. They take up less room than an Australian seat rear facing. They are easy to install once you have done it a few times, we bought a second set of tethers to leave attached in dh's car which makes installs much faster. The only issue we are facing is that my son has a long torso so i think he will grow out of this seat long before he weighs out of it and at the rate he is growing he will be out of it by the middle of next year, making him 2.5.

So anyone answering this question with a Britax Multi Tech could you please let me know the length of the seat back in its highest setting? Thanks:)
