Can't help you with car seats, but we have a new Subaru Forester and it is a fact that there is not a lot of room in the back seat. You can tell by looking at it. That might be why the seat isn't fitting properly. do you have another car you could try it in. Thanks for letting me know as I want to buy the safest seat and it might be a problem in our Subaru as well.

Where did you hear that it is the safest car seat jordie?
thanks
