Rear Car Seat and Occupant Safety Question

[C.moore01]

We have a Chicco myfit and myfit in my truck .. rear facing would definitely be tight but I’ll try to get some pictures

I have a rear-facing carseat I can throw in to test for you. However, I no longer have an infant car seat with a removable base, which is by far the worst. Are you after photos of a rear-facing toddler seat like is shown in the above Silverado photo? If so I can help.

I actually have an infant car seat with a removable base, if no one gets to it first, I'll throw it in and take a pic.

Thanks so much for all the positive response! As far as I'm concerned, the more pictures we can get the better. There's so much variability in carseats that having multiple examples of what fits and what doesn't will be of great help to me and others.

Yes, although now that you brought it up I totally forgot we also had that separate car seat for when my son was a wee little infant (that was only a little over a year ago, yesh!!). That one was an Eddie Bauer carrier with the separate car seat base. I believe it took up about as much space as our current Graco toddler car seat that we had rearward facing up until a month ago. I don't believe we had to adjust the front passenger seat when we switched from the infant to the toddler though.

I'm with jsphlynch, it would be nice to see a variety but please don't go out of your guys way to do this if it's too much of a pain.

Very much appreciated everyone,

I took some pictures of the forward facing car seat I have in mine. I have passenger front seat more forward than most others do would be my guess, but I typically don't have anyone riding up front so I give the 4 year old a little more leg room, and less likelihood that he'll rub his dirty shoes all over the back of the seat.

Rear facing Nuna Rava toddler car seat.

For reference the passenger seat is slid all the way back and a full size adult can fit comfortable in the passenger seat. It looks like the car seat is touching the passenger seat but there’s about 1-2 inch gap.

Good to know as this is my current type of car seat. What kind of seat protector is that?

Forgot to post this earlier, Britax B-Safe 35 Elite in the middle seat. Driver's seat is adjusted for me at 6'1".

I have 2, they seem to work well. Still have to put my knees into them to get them tight

Chicco NextFit Zip rear-facing. Should be much more roomy when I get to flip it forward in 6 months but for now the front passenger has plenty of room.

I have a Nuna Pipa infant car seat as well, we’ll see how it fits if kiddo #2 comes into existence.

Same car seat we have .. we also have a Chicco myfit and when the child is old enough it works much better in the ranger .. it sits a lot lower and lets the kids legs fit in the indentions cut into the seat backs .. the next fit has them sitting up much higher and really takes some leg room away

Chicco nextfit and myfit .. will be getting rid of the nextfit for another myfit .. the myfit just works better in a ranger
