I'm looking for suggestions on a convertible carseat for my 9 month old that will fit well in my 2011 Ford Fusion. My son is currently 29.5 inches and 19lbs. I am currently trying to decide between the Recaro PRORIDE and either the Britax Boulevard or Pavilion. If anyone has experience trying to fit these in a similar size sedan, which did you like better?

Welcome! That should be a fairly easy car to work with, but here's a nifty guide to seats that fit with more or less room when installed rearfacing http://carseatblog.com/22818/the-ul...ertible-space-comparison-review-size-matters/
As for the seat itself, see if you can try it out in store, see if the harness adjustments and height adjustments are easy, and maybe check for legroom for the kiddo... the two seats you are looking at are notorious for being cramped when it comes to getting kids to the bare minimum age of 2 rearfacing (ideally age four, for optimal spinal and head protection in more types of crashes), and other seats like the Graco My Size or Diono Radian have rather more room, so it's easier to load kids into seats.
