Hi, I'm having a hard time finding a great car seat to fit rear facing in my back seat. I'd have to put it in the middle, with the top sort of between the two front seats. My Safe Seat is already in this position, and I can't fit anything much larger than that. I'm tall, so I can't put my seat forward anf when the passenger seat is forward I can't see out the window! Yikes!
Can anybody help me find a seat that will fit? I am interested in the small Combi one, Recaro if it'll fit, anything Britax, but I'm totally open 100% to suggestions. I know whats very safe, but not what'll fit in my car, and I realize I may have to to pay more for a seat that'll fit, and safety is soooo worth it :)
Thanks so much in advance.

A Britax convertible will fit pretty much anywhere a SafeSeat will fit, because it can be installed more upright. Recaros are a little trickier.

Can I ask why you are interested in Britaxes and Recaros? You write that you "know what's very safe" -- they are indeed safe, they pass all the tests that they need to pass, but there is no reason to believe they are safeR than other seats on the market.

I know that the Recaro won't fit, it sits up on a huge base so seeing out the back window wouldn't happen ;) But on that note, I would strongly suggest you learn how to use your side mirrors so that you don't have to see out the back window in order to drive safely :) When I got my CDL for driving the fire trucks I couldn't use my back window and I had to learn how to use my side mirrors.
What is the age, weight and height of your baby?
