I have ordered a Recaro Signo for my 11 month old DD. She's currently in her Chicco Keyfit and fitting nicely. But, she's not going to make it until August in that seat. I need to find a convertible car seat to use in my car as a "filler" seat. The filler seat will then be moved to either my DH's Saab 9.5 or my MIL's Lincoln Aviator.
The problem is I can't find a convertible car seat that fits tightly in my 2004 Nissan Quest minivan. I even took one of them up (Cosco Scenera) to the fire station and the guy couldn't get it in tight.
I have only tried installing the seats with LATCH because I honestly didn't think about the seat belt option until this morning. :doh:
Seriously though, I drive a Mommy-van. There have got to be convertible car seats that fit snugly.
Any advice/suggestions? Would changing to a seatbelt installation help? Can I tether the seat even if it's not really supposed to be tethered rear-facing?
Thanks!
Amy
