Hello! My husband and I are expecting our first in February, and I am trading in my tiny convertible for something that will actually fit a car seat. I am not looking for a very large car (We are only planning on having two kids, relatively far apart). A sedan or hatchback would be ideal. I about about $12,000-15,000 to spend.

The car seat we are getting is the Chicco Keyfit 30. We don't have it yet (it is being gifted to us for Christmas), so we can't take it with us to car shop. If you have this car seat, what vehicles does it fit in comfortably? DH and I are both between 5'8" and 5'10".

Thank yoU!

The Chicco Keyfit is a great seat (I loved mine) and also pretty easy to fit in any reasonably sized vehicle. It fit very well in my 1995 Honda Accord (smaller than the current models), and also in a range of rental vehicles (we traveled quite a bit during my daughters first year). I'm fond of Honda vehicles myself, but Hyundai also has some nice cars these days.

The keyfit should fit in just about any sedan without issue.

I can't imagine having a problem fitting the keyfit30 in any sedan. Do you need to sit with the front seats all the way back? That is the only issue I could see.

Our keyfit30 fits with no problem in my husband's 2012 Chevy Cruze

I've never had it be an issue, if it's in the center. In some sedans it's a tight fit behind the driver/passenger, but that's pretty typical for RFing seats. It's an easy install with belt or LATCH.

Honda Civic! I have a honda civic and our key fit, fits perfect even if the seat is almost all the way back. The seat cannot be all the way back though. That being said, when buying a car think of the future! The infant/bucket seats fit pretty much anywhere, but soon as baby gets bigger, convertible car seats wont always fit! So also think of what seat you would want next!

I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger and it fit beautifully. This means it will also fit a Chrysler Sebring as they are the same car.

It's going to fit in pretty much anything. I had it in a 4-door 2002 Hyundai Elantra and I had *TWO* of them in a 2-door Honda Civic. No problems at all.

I installed a keyfit in a 07 elantra and it was way easy. I had 2 elantras an 01 and 07 and really liked both of them.

I have a 4-door '12 VW GTI (same body as the Golf), and there's more room left in it than in our 4Runner once installed.

Fits in a 05 Corolla but you won't fit in front of it. I'm also 5'8 and often rode in the back seat because i couldn't fit in the passenger seat when the keyfit was behind it.
