Toyota Tacoma King Cab & car seats
I have a 1999 Tacoma. The back seats are big enough for older people but car seats don't fit on them properly. The depth of the seats are shorter than the car seats. I Hve problems with the car seats "sliding" down because the car seats are angled instead of 90 degreed in the "butt". The other problem that I have is that they "sit" up to high. My boys' feet get "quished" by the front seats because the car seats sit up so high. I have one boy that is 3 1/2, 35 lbs & is in a booster seat. My other boy is 2 1/2, 27 lbs & is in a regular car seat. I have a 10 yr old daughter that gets "quished" between the 2 car seats. My question is, Is there any car seats out on the market that are made for trucks that have "less" depth seats. It would be ideal if I could just take some wood, pad it, put harness belts for them & bolt it all down. But that is not possible or legal. Looking for something that is slimline. I have gone through all the postings & didn't see anything on this problem. I can't believe that 'no one else has this problem'. I can't afford a minivan (definitely need one) & can't afford to pay 100's of dollars for a car seat. Any solutions other than just dealing with the problem?
Thanks, Michelle
