Convertible for a 2012 Chevy Cruze Can and US

[MammaBear]

I'm on a baby board. Both babies are 4 months old. Both sets of parents have 2012 Chevy Cruzes. Both need a convertible seat. One baby lives in Canada, one in the USA.... So every tech can answer Suggestions? TIA!

Would a MR65 work in Canada?

Oh yikes, that car is small. I rented one last winter, and I'm 5'8" but have the seat a tad closer to drive than most my height. I could JUST squeeze a very upright classic Marathon in behind me. I had to drive the whole trip because even my older forward-facer had no leg room at all behind my tall husband if she was driver's side.

I would try a MyRide, or maybe a Radian in the centre. I had two kids with me and no chance they were going to fit side by side so I didn't try anything in the centre. If they still fit in the infant seat, and it installs well in the centre I'd leave them in that as long as possible so whatever infant/child seat they go into can be more upright than needed for a 4 month old. Good luck in your search.

Both LOs are outgrowing their infant seats. That's why I'm asking.

My mom has a '12 cruze and I have put our radian (with angle adjuster) in the center and behind the passenger. I'm 5'9" with long legs. I can drive ok with it in the center and ride (with knees just at the dash) with it behind the passenger. Even with the radian there is little room for others next to it.

They might need to give up the front seat until the baby is old enough to sit upright. A MyRide or Britax seat would be a good bet, and they'd have to try a Radian without angle adjuster to see if it was reclined enough.

Thx! All 4 parents are under 5'6", so everything might work great
