I'm getting a GRANDbaby!! Time for seat advice

Daughter drives a 2004 Ford Escape. Are there any particular situations we should know about with any particular seat(s)? Something that doesn't work well.

Not a lot of worry about back to front space, as daughter and son in law are both rather short, so they don't need to put the front seats back very far

I dont have any real advice except that if the backseats are in any way the same as the Explorers, you are going to need rolled towels to get a decent install, had to do that for mine every time. Congrats!!

Edit: Just wanted to clarify that I get great installs in my Explorer, but I have to use a towel to get the proper angle (it was especially so with the Graco infant bucket) because of the sloped seats. In case the Escapes are the same I just wanted to mention that!

Thanks :) :) I am TOTALLY 'over the MOON'

Oh joy, I hope they don't have to have a rotten install time. At least she knows I'll 'kill her' if she doesn't do it right lol

Her friend told her there was a cute seat/stroller combo at the thrift store,, (and it IS a cute pattern) She told her friend, are you CRAZY? Mom would KILL me

By the time they got this car, my chick had already moved to the Monterey and never even THOUGHT to install my old Radian in it

In our 2002 most convertibles do need noddles or towels. It is very tight with a three across I know not and issue right now but just letting You know.
I think from looks of our unless in center a radian with it's crazy recline may not fit for a newborn.

I am just saying since our scenera barely fit but I fit.
