Question Complete Air...few questions

Ok first of all, I will start with my daughter is about 37 1/2 inches tall 32 pounds. She is 3. I decided to turn her rear facing for a while since it is still acceptable until 40 inches. I could not get the seat very upright, I will probably have to play with it, also the seat touches the front seat of my 2000 caravan. There is such little space. Even if I put my daughters babytrend in with no base it touches the seat back. You think being a van it would be a little more spacious.

I can get pics of my Rfing install and post them, I have a pic of ffing install, which were my other ?'s The seat sits over the front seat. Is this ok? I tried everything and that is as far back as it would go.

I have mine RF in an 2001 caravan I can post pictures later. I can tell you that you should try to put it in the middle row in the "center" position so that it offsets with the two front seats, it will help with the install. also I can get mine more upright behind the front seats too.
 
ok here is is RFing. sorry about the stuff in the pics, we just took a trip and when we got back I decided to try RFing my DD. Does this look acceptable?I dont like how the base is partially off of the seat, is this bad?

Oh and I reclined the whole van seat a little. In the ffing I believe the seat was straight up.

That would be great! Thanks! I tweaked the seat a little because my bench isnt a full bench I was able to get it to where not much of the seat touches. I think that I have it reclined to much. It is so hard because I will not be able to put a complete air behind the drivers seat for my 15 month old when she outgrows her infant seat, so I need to find a seat that fits in small spaces, because the complete air pushes on the drivers seat, in that position I have to sort of force it in.

Remove the towel and add weight to the foot area. You don't need the line level to the ground at 3 years or 15 months. That's for a newborn. You can go as upright as 30 degrees (from the driver's side that's 11 o'clock on a clockface, from the passenger side it's 1 o'clock).
