Fit of car seats in car...

[Heaven]

Ours is going to be mighty squishy too and we're going to get a new car not long after bubs is born. Good thread.

we only have one seat rear facing and is also behind passanger seat, even in the commodore DH is uncomfortable in the passanger seat as cant put seat back he is 6ft 4 approx.

Even in a commodore?? EEEEK!

We're now thinking a Rav4 - my parents have one, it is a good car to drive and should have enough room in the back. We're going round on the weekend to fit our car seat and see what we can see...

I got to the point that I simply made DH drive when there was a rearfacing carseat and he complained about being uncomfortable, however I am short. I am going to put the capsule in may car sometime soon to check how much room it has, I have the middle row seats as far back as possible though.

Well, it's a fair bit bigger, but a Prado. We had DS2 rear facing until around 18 months (he is not big for his age obviously), so it was just as well we had enough leg room. We can still fit a smallish person between the two seats (one Meridian, one Maxi Rider) also.

I am 6 foot and so is DH. We had no problems when DS was rear facing and we have a 2005 RAV 4. Heaps of room, great driving and you sit up in the seats not recline like in most sedans. Lots of head room too.

As you can tell I love my Rav 4

I can't speak from my own car seats but we did have a commodore wagon and had both my sister and my dear friend fit their seats in and there was still plenty of room. I'm 5'9 and DH just over 6'. Always had so much room in the boot too.
