Which capsule/carseat for small car???

[willow5]

Hiya, I have a small Hyundai Getz (4 door) and starting to think about carseat/capsule.

Just wondering if anyone else with a small car has suggestions on a good one that will fit?

Well haven't tried it but have been looking at the Safe n Sound Compaq deluxe. I think its name comes from its size by the looks of it but it was rated really highly in the NRMA safe car seat brochure that I read online which is why I am having a think about it (actually waiting for it to go on sale somewhere!!)

Thanks Katierabbit

I was going to suggest the Safe N Sound Compaq too. It is much narrower and shorter than most car seats, so if you have a small car it won't cause you problems with having to push the front seat to far forward while the baby needs to be rearward faced.

You can take your car to a baby store and ask them if you can try some car seats out.

The baby shop near us let us try different carseats to see which one fit. We got a Safe N Sound as well but it wasnt a compaq, but I didnt have much leg room in the front passenger seat. Only short people could fit in

i have a mazda 323-door & we have a safe n sound compaq deluxe. there's no problem fitting it in the back & the premier (i think that's the name of the model) also fit - i think the compaq is more to do with it being narrower so you can still fit more than one car seat in the back? not sure.

DP is 6' & can still fit in the front seat, but it's a real squeeze & his legs are kind of jammed up against the dash! if only he'd learn how to drive a manual then we'd have no problem at all
