I went to BRU today and tried the keyfit 30, snug ride and baby trend infant seats to see how they fit in my Jetta behind the driver side with enough room for my tall dh. I brought a cosco scenera that is being used in my spare vehicle and I am thinking of keeping it in there instead of my original plan of using it for my ds more upright and having the baby use the radian. I like the infant seats in the car because it is easier to access the middle seat but they don't fit with a base.
I took pictures of the seats installed in my vehicle. They only fit without the bases. I like how the baby trend fits the best. I read in the manual that the all the way down rocking position is ok or behind the seat. I like it in the rocking position. It fits the other way but I don't know if how it sits on the seat is ok. The keyfit didn't have a manual so I wasn't sure on handle positions. It won't fit if it had to go behind the seat but it does upright.

Cosco Scenera
They were all tight but I never installed a infant seat before and I wasn't sure if the bases were sitting on the seat ok and if the angles are correct. I didn't remove the radian but I think they will be tight when I do so. The cosco was installed independently and checked. I think the picture was before that installation though.
