Hello -
My daughter is 10 months and about 19-20 pounds and ALMOST 30 INCHES TALL (wow!). We currently have her in a Chicco KeyFit 30, which has been quite nice, but now we need to switch to a convertible since I plan to have her rear facing for as long as possible. We currently have a 2007 Prius and a 2003 Forester. The KeyFit has been in the rear passenger position in both and fits "OK" in the Prius, but barely in the Forester. The problem is that both my spouse and I are quite tall (our daughter comes by her height honestly!) and both have the front seats back all the way. We don't fit otherwise!
We're in a somewhat rural area, so trying out car seats is tricky at best. I've been looking around and have been searching here and elsewhere and am leaning towards the First Years True Fit or one of the Britax (which one?). I've seen the Sunshine Radians and I'm sure they'd be lovely FF, but there is no way they'd fit RF (I tried my sister's - ain't happening!).
Does anyone have any input on convertible carseats that fit well RF in both a Forester and a Prius? They don't have to be the same model (different for each car), but we do need two. At this point, we only have one child, but hopefully will have more soon. But that will be a different question, I'm sure!
