Hello,
I own a 2003 Volvo s40. My daughter is 9.5 months 23lbs 30.5 inches and we need a car seat that will not take up lots of space & can be rear-facing for a good while. Also, my husband drives the most and is very tall. I would like to know of a couple of models if possible in low to moderate price range. Any help you van offer would be greatly appreciated!

Some seats in the low to moderate price range to research include the Evenflo Sureride and the Graco My Ride. The Evenflo has a rear-facing height limit of 40", so it may not provide as much rear-facing time, but it's decently priced and has very tall top slots when used forward-facing several years down the road. The Graco My Ride (depending on the vehicle) can install very upright. My son with a long torso fit in the My Ride rear-facing until he was 3.5 years old, but I've seen parents post about their kids with shorter torsos than my son outgrowing it sooner, so I think it depends on the angle of the install in the car on how much rear-facing time kids can get. I hope someone will be along with more suggestions soon.
