Graco myride?

[beetlemama]

Spinning off my when would you go FF post in a different direction. Does anyone know if a myride 65 would fit RF in a beetle? I know the radian has a taller shell, but how tall is the myride? We're going to need additional carseats this summer anyway (we'll be leaving the city and getting a second car) so maybe a different seat would help keep her RF longer, especially if she picked the cover (her current cover is grey, maybe if she picks something pretty it'll help).

ETA: a banana bribe got measurements! 15" butt to shoulder, 21" butt to top of head, 38" overall height.

It fits RF but this only shows FF http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=148601
The last post in the thread mentions pictures of it RF, she may still have pics somewhere if you'd like them.

Yes a My Ride can fit RFing in a Beetle.I can only get it to fit with the front seat moved all the way up.A little uncomfortable for someone sitting in the front but it defintely works!

Okay, so it looks like it would work RF in the beetle, but the radian fits better (which I figured). Hmmm, decisions. Maybe I'll run out to BRU and see if it fits. It looks cushier than the radian, so maybe it'll help...

I just went to BRU last night and test fit one in my tiny Honds Fit, behind the driver, with the seat all the way back. It fit, but was pretty upright and the high sides + small car door opening made it pretty difficult to get my girl in and out of the seat. That is why we nixed it and went with a Radian. We needed the low profile for access in and out. But, to answer your question about the My Ride, it is a tall seat and is fairly vertical up the back so it fit in a very small space. I was surprised by that after seeing how huge it looked on the shelf.
