What convertible car seat is best for smaller cars?
We have a small(er) car (Toyota Matrix) that we need to purchase a convertible car seat for. Our other car sear is an Evenflo and fits great in our van, but I doubt the same kind would fit in the Matrix. Anyone have any recommedations for car seats for smaller cars?
eml – We love our Matrix. It’s a great size and the hatchback makes it easy to fit tons of stuff in. We have the 4WD model which is great in weather.

I have a VW Jetta and both my husband and I are tall people. The only car seat we found that fit rear facing in the back seat was the Britax Roundabout 50. The driver seat and passenger seat have to be back pretty far so that my husband and I can both fit. It’s narrower than other seats – yet still comfortable for our son. It was a little more than we wanted to spend, but it fits well and it goes to 50 pounds so we can use it for a long time.
BTW – How do you like the matrix? I need a new car and that is one I was looking at.
try the britax seats….they are coming out with new ones next month that would probably work great….the car seat can be at a greater upright angle if your child is older.
