2012 Buick Verano -- 48" Back seat
Britax Marathon G3 base JUST FITS in the center seat
Ideally I will have a RFing seat behind the driver and one in the center. I have tried the Scenera and Marathon side by side and can not get a good install.
2006 GMC Sierra EXT Cab
Wide across, very very tight front to back.
I currently have a Cosco Scenera in the center, but it's about 6" too big to fit outboard. I have installed the Marathon outboard but it does not fit front to back without the passenger being extremely uncomfortable.
So my son is currently 2y8m and very petite. I would like to avoid putting him forward facing in our truck if possible. New baby will be here (we are shooting for) next November. I want to start with a convertible, I'm thinking the newborn could use the Scenera RFing in the center in our truck ---- and we could get a new (hopefully convertible) for my will be 3.5 year old.
Am I being crazy? Should I just bite the bullet and get a combination seat for him when the time comes? Is there a seat more compact front to back than the marathon? I wouldn't be opposed to getting a Coccoro ---- but would it be feasible to just get one and move it back and forth? I wouldn't even be able to count on my almost 4 year old fitting RFing anymore, would I?
Is a guide 65 good for us? I'm not wanting to break the bank. Would a Coccoro (for baby) in the center of the Buick with a Guide 65 next to it? Then maybe the Marathon outboard in the GMC (as close to 30deg as I can get) with the Scenera in the center for baby?
I expect our future child to be 5-6lbs but not premature.
