Is the Chicco Keyfit the narrowest infant seat?

Holly · Feb 25, 2008

We're planning baby#3 very soon, but we won't be able to get a van before the baby comes, so we'll be squishing 3 kids into our 2007 Toyota Camry backseat.

I have the Radian now, and will have a Nautilus too (99% sure we are getting it). Our infant seat is a Graco Snugride. If it doesnt fit in the center between the 2 seats, do you think a Keyfit would?
I have heard that they are the narrowest infant seats, but I dont remember where I heard that, and if it's true or not.

I want a Keyfit anyway, I really love the infant head and body support, but as long as we have a perfectly good snugride, dh wouldnt let me get a new seat. If we had to get a Keyfit because the Snugride would not fit, then that would be ok because it's cheaper than getting a new car

The keyfit is pretty narrow - I don't have it anymore to measure, but it fit in my little back row between two highback turbos. I

the keyfit. Why don't you try your snugride on the side of your radian and see if it fits? If it does, you won't have to worry about getting a new one. Would a 2nd radian as opposed to a nautilus help? Then you can get a nautilus when baby needs the radian. Just a thought.

I don't think so...the foot area is way wider than the snugride...I think I had better luck with my SS1 than my KF when I crammed them all into the car (base might be about the same, but that extra wide foot area was the dealbreaker for fitting my other seats in...)

The baby trend is narrow.
