This is my first post on this forum so bare with me. lol. We are needing some advice.
My husband and I purchased a 2013 Buick Verano last month. After some recommendations to use an infant seat instead of going straight to a convertible, I purchased a Safety First Onboard 35 infant seat that was on sale. I received it today and we immediately read the manual and did a "test install". Little did we know, fitting an infant seat in our new car would be a challenge. Using the latch system, we installed it in the rear middle seat and ensured that it was at the correct angle. In order for the infant seat and the car seats not to touch, the front car seats had to be moved up a substantial amount. To the point where I would not feel comfortable driving in that position (I am tall).
We also tried installing it in the rear passenger seat. This allowed the driver to be comfortable but the passenger would be crammed. The only concern with this is that the infant seat is not as safe it would be in the middle.
Someone recommended a Chicco Keyfit 30, Maxi Cosi Mico AP, or Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 but these are all WAY out of our price range. I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
Also, am I correct in thinking that the back of the infant seat and back of the car seats cannot come in contact with each other?
