Will a Safe n Sound Platinum AHR fit in our hatchback?

[*Belle*]

We have a Mazda 3 which is similar to a Corolla and the only carseat that would fit in our car rear facing for newborns was the SNS Compaq, I got ours fitted at Royal North Shore Hospital, my hospital gave me the details when I went for our classes, if you call North Shore Private hospital maternity or even RNS hospital maternity they should be able to tell you what day the fitters are at the hospital and you can call them direct and leave a message and they will call you back when free, if you do need it fitted which they do recommend in Sydney we had to wait a week to get fitted.

Hopefully babies galore will let you switch carseats if needed? the other option you have is to keep the carseat and hire a capsule until the baby can sit up forward facing and then use the current carseat you have purchased when the baby can sit upright unsupported and weighs the appropriate weight to sit forward facing.

Hope this helps.

I have a toyota corolla seca, 2003 model
we had a SnS Meridian AHR in our car with little issue, rear and forward facing.
We did have to move the front seats a little bit closer to the front than normal, but I'm 6ft tall and didnt have an issue driving with them in that position.
Technically the child restraint is not allowed to be touching either of the front seats.

Thanks Belle, those are great tips.

I will give our hospital a call or check when we attend the next class.

If the SnS Platinum doesn't fit, a capsule is will be for the first few months...
