hello, i have been going crazy trying to find a convertible car seat for my daughter. i have been told it is very hard to find one to fit in my car, 2006 grand prix. my daughter is 6 months, close to 20 pounds and about 25''. my budget is up to 300. i would like it to be comfortable for her because we do drive a lot. and we are in canada. thanks so much

Hi there, and welcome! I haven't worked with your particular vehicle, but I'm wondering which seat(s) you have tried that didn't work well? What seems to be the issue with your vehicle that makes it difficult? Is it a matter of limited 'front to back' space? Are driver or front passenger very tall?

Here is a list of frequently recommended Canadian seats with their pros and cons that might be useful to take a look at.

well there is not much room from the drivers door to the back seat. i would have to put the car seat behind driver or in the middle ( my back passenger door doesnt work ). and i really want somthing comfortable. i like the diono radian but im thinking it might be too tall to be rear facing, maybe it will touch the driver seat. how do u like the clek fllo. it looks nice but is it comfortable? i hate seeing my daughers head all over the place when she falls asleep.. thanks so much :)

Hello,

Yes, the Radian is a tall seat and can take up a lot of 'front to back' room. However, for babies with complete head control who can sit up unassisted, you can purchase an angle adjuster that makes the seat more upright, and therefore take up less room.

The Fllo's padding is firmer than some other seats. I've helped someone install one, but haven't had my own kids use it. Here's a detailed review: http://vicarseattechs.com/2014/fun-with-fllo-review-giveaway/

The Britax convertibles typically fit nicely in a smaller space, but won't last as long height-wise as the Radian or Fllo. The Evenflo Sureride and Graco MyRide might be others to consider.
