smallest infant seat, front to back?

My friend drives a Jetta and both she and her dh are tall, so the combination of small backseat and tall parents is hard. Any suggestions for an infant seat that is very small front to back? They do have a convertible that fits. I looked at it and the recline looked good to me, and she's having it checked at the FD today. But she wants to use an infant seat at first.

Thanks for any suggestions--especially something easy to find/quickly orderable online!

So the ones that need the handle down require extra space in front for the handle.. am I interpreting that right? Thanks for the quick reply. A SR22 is quite easy to find, lol.

Right...The Evenflo Embrace might be a bit shorter but with that giant handle, it takes up a huge amount of space.

The SR 22 is shorter than the OA35 or the KF.

I have a Jetta Wagon and I tried out the chicco key fit, the snug ride 22 and the baby trend infant seats in it at BRU. The baby trend took up the least amount of front to back space of the 3 and the keyfit took up the most in the Jetta. The handle can't go up in the baby trend but when it is in the lowest position it doesn't get in the way.
