Hi there,
We have a 2015 rav 4 and are looking to find a convertible car seat for our six month old once she outgrows the peg perego 4-35 infant seat. She weighs 23 lb already and is also quite tall 28 inches. While the current seat has a 32 inch limit she is longer in the torso so we have an inch and a quarter before we need to switch. Clearly at this age it's hard to tell if she will lean out once she starts crawling making it hard for me to figure out how to buy the car seat however I assume more important is shoulder height as I would like to rear face as soon as possible.
The peg perego fits behind the passenger seat fine- hubby can't sit there- he's a foot taller than me but I'm 5'5. But if I move the seat any more forward my knee hits the curve of the dash which is not good in case of accident.
I've researched higher limit rf and am confused. The clek with the 50lb limit turns out to only have a 40lb limit rf in canada (what the heck!). The diono ranier apparently hogs rear to front space! Argh, so confused!
Does anyone have any suggestions to help me keep my 97 percentile weight/height baby safe in rf? We may be having a second child soon but we will probably have to switch cars then due to hubby's height but we are stuck with this car now.
Also can seats be installed in the middle of a rav 2015 and will this mean both front seats will be unaffected ?
Thanks for all who can help!
