Will Britax seats fit in Toyota Corolla?

Will the Britax seats fit in a Toyota Corolla? If anyone was able to fit theirs in their Toyota please let me know! It's a very small car, and I'm worried that they won't fit. I'm thinking about getting either a Marathon or a Boulevard. I'd like to keep the seat in the center of the back seat.

Yup, if you can get an infant seat in there now (and still have room to sit up front), then you can easily do a Marathon/Boulevard. Not sure what year your car is, but you MUST always use the seatbelt, not the LATCH anchors, in the middle of Corollas, just FYI.

Re: Will Britax seats fit in Toyota Corolla?

I know that the MA will fit both RF and FF very well in a 2005 Toyota Corolla. If you want me to take pictures I can, it is my sisters car. The only thing i am not sure about is RF tether anchors, but i am sure you can find a spot.

HTH,

Re: Will Britax seats fit in Toyota Corolla?

We have a 2006 Corolla. DD's RF MA is outboard passenger with LATCH and braced and tethered to front passenger side.

I couldn't get a rock solid install in the center with the lap/shoulder belt (most would probably be OK with the install, but I wasn't) so I moved her outboard with LATCH.

We have 2 rearfacing Marathons in our Echo, which is smaller than a Corolla.

Re: Will Britax seats fit in Toyota Corolla?

I have fit 2 rearfacing and then forward facing marathons in my 03. I have also put 2 regents in it. http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL493.../255147052.jpg

I only have one kid, so when it was/is just him in the car he is center and we havent had any problems.

There is a member on here with a rearfacing marathon, rearfacing boulevard, and a forward facing radian in the middle of an 04(I think) corolla.
Totally doable.
