Convertible in 08' Acura RDX

nikoalison · Jun 4, 2013

Hi - My LO is 6mo, 15lbs, 25L - I am starting to research convertible carseats so that when the day comes I am prepared! Currently she is in a graco snugride 30 and it is working well for us.

With our current configuration the convertible seat will be located behind the driver. I was looking at the following and I am concerned about fit:
1) Peg Perego Primo Viaggio
2) Chicco NextFit
3) Britax Boulevard
4) Maxi-Cosi Pria

Does anyone have any experience with these in an RDX RF behind driver? It is really hard to tell dimensions for some of these with the reclining functionality.
Also, is a cup holder necessary? Some seats have them and others dont. Thanks for the advice and feedback!

I don't have experience with the Acura but bumping you up for some answers!

I had an '07 RDX which I'm pretty sure is the same body style. It is not a big back seat! I sold it before some of the seats you listed came out, so I can't help with all of them. But, if you have to put the convertible behind the driver, I can tell you a Britax convertible might be a good bet. They do not take up much space front to back and will install easily there. If your baby was very tall, I'd say to skip it, but it looks like your baby is on the smaller to average range for height.

I was able to flip down the center rear vehicle cup holder and use that instead of one that came with the car seat. But you can buy a cup holder for the Britax as well.
