Hi,
I drive a 2012 Nissan Leaf. I love it, and would really like to keep it, especially given the extremely low cost of keeping it on the road (under $200 in electricity for 15,000 km driven in a year). I have a large toddler who is currently rear facing in a Britax Boulevard, behind the passenger seat. My husband and I are both tall and need the front seats placed all the way back. I do think the passenger seat had to be clicked forward a notch or two to accommodate the Britax. We had a Peg Perego Primo Viaggio infant car seat in the middle seat previously.
But I'm expecting twins! I've seen posts and picture of the Leaf with three forward facing Radians, but where should we start with rear facing? I'm not sure a rear facing Radian will fit with the front seats where they need to be to safely accommodate the adults. I think we tried one when we bought the Britax. And I do wonder if by the time the twins arrive in the spring my toddler will have grown too tall or heavy to be rear facing. He will be over 2 years old by then, but I'd like to keep him rear facing as long as possible.
I'd like to do infant seats because the twins are likely to be smaller and use those seats longer, plus the convenience of snapping the seat in and out of the car and on to the stroller or carrying a sleeping baby in to the house.
Any suggestions for a starting place for a toddler (both RF and FF) and two infants? And then, in a year or so, two RF toddlers and a FF preschooler?
PS. I'm in Canada and the car has LATCH on the two outboard seats.
