Thanks. i will check wify's baby shower list and see if this is the same maxi-cosi, thanks!

 

I will post the info with pictures when I get home. I know our forward facing is bigger/bulkeier than most seats. We just decided to keep it as we already had it from our previous infant. They are not in the seat forever so it's a compromise for the time being.

 

I went with the Britax B-Safe rear facing infant seat... actually, I bought the Britax Travel System which came with the stroller and infant seat. Here's a pic of my daughter when she still was using it:

Check out their website and reviews here: http://www.amazon.com/Britax-B-Agile.../dp/B005JCPKVI

But now, she's forward facing in these puppies

 

I would say our seat leaves about the same amount of leg room as iH8ricerz pictured above.

 

Same here.

 

I think i might grab the Britax system since its on sale right now , where did you bought the Recaro seats?

 

hehehe i have the limited edition recaro proride convertible...make sure to get the seat protectors and isofix or towels to make the seat sit right. use the latch system if its available.

 

Gotta love Amazon!

Evil Teo - Did you use a towel? I only used the seat protector, but it seems like my daughter is reclined more than I'd like in her seat.

 

our forward facing seat is a graco and as mentioned above you have to fold up a towel to place under the base because of the depth of the seat. Our base is adjustable which also helps with the angle of the seat. The booster is a basic Eddie Bauer we purchased years ago at SAMs club.

 

Yes i use the towels to level the car seat correctly. I'm not sure if it will help on yours. I have the proride convertible and you have the proride combination. Try it if yours is not sitting right.

 

I did a lot of research into this and came up with the Cybex Aton 2 as the best option for rear facing. It's the smallest of all the options at 26" installed, and it's the only one that is dead simple to use without the base, so when you travel by plane or in a car you don't own (like a taxi). It uses the LATCH system, so it's dead easy to move the base.I'll post pics when I do the test fit. Oh yeah, it's only 8.8 lbs empty and it fits in any Maxi Cosi compatible stroller. The wife thinks that totally rocks.

 

thanks for the input, not sure why you are researching...
are u expecting a baby soon?
if you are Congratz!!!

 

I've gone through this dilemma recently, but try fitting twins in the back seat of an ISF



The seats I'm using right now are the Cybex Sirona (they're huge but the seats can rotate which makes it easy to take the kids in and out of the car)

The seats in the pic above were the Cybex Aton which are smaller than the Sirona.

 

Atleast you have room to drive your car... I don't think with my britax system installed behind my seat would even allow me to squeeze into the driver seat. Going to have to look into this system with another one on the way

 

Well I can just about fit, but its uncomfortable for long journeys
