Question about convertible seats

Hi there,
By husband drives a chev Silverado extended cab. There is not much room for a car seat. Right now we are using the Britax b safe, but she's getting closer to the weight limit. Do you have any recommendations for a seat that would fit front to back well without me having to sit with my knees pushed into the dash?

How tall and heavy is she, and how old, and what is your budget?

You will get better recommendations with the info Wendy asked for but I thought this might also help you: http://carseatblog.com/22818/the-ul...ertible-space-comparison-review-size-matters/

Not knowing the additional details, the best recommendation that I have would be to look for seats that allow for multiple recline angles depending on the size of your kiddo. If she is reaching the weight limit on the B-Safe, I would assume that she is a bit older and can sit unassisted. In those cases, a seat with a more upright install is going to be huge for you.

In order of budget, my recommendations to try as you get started would be: Chicco NextFit, Graco Size4Me (and similar seats), Safety 1st Guide 65. or the Cosco Scenera NEXT. I know the Britax seats fit pretty well too, but I actually like Chicco and Graco better.

In my personal compact vehicle experience, we found that the Guide served our purposes. It actually gave us a little more room than we had with a Chicco Keyfit infant seat. I will say there are a few factors that lead to that decision that may not be as important to you: It is not the easiest seat to install, so not recommended if you are taking the seat in and out. The straps can be a bit twisty. It's also not my favorite forward facing seat, but it is nice and padded for a budget seat and has great height and weight limits. We were on a strict budget at the time, so I would review the link that the PP provided to see what fits for you.

We have a Guide 65 as a travel seat and it works pretty well in tight situations. It can be a little tricky to install, but still a lot easier than the Combi Cocorro that was our old travel seat, so I still think it's not too bad!
