How does this fit rear facing in a smaller SUV? My current Graco Snugride 35 is too big, but the Chicco 35 is fine....

I can't help you with this as I don't have an SUV. It doesn't fit in my Mercedes E350, it's too big. Sorry I wasn't much help....

Hmm? I don't know. I have a minivan so mine fit easily and well, but when it was in my hubby's Navigator (he's tall so has to push seat back), it was snug backwards.

You have to buy a separate carseat adapter - there is a special for Chicco car seats. My son is over 37" and fits fine! I have the canopy in the lowest position, too, so my daughter can see over his seat better from the back seat (I use it as a double with two seats facing forward usually). No complaints about room, but there is still more room for him to grow since we can put the canopy higher!

Yes. You shouldn't have a problem. It is not very wide. I have 3 across the back of my car with this graco in the middle because its narrow. It has the best safety rating for the size and price. I think it's a perfect option for you!!

There will be no issue with the rear door -- and while I have mine on a Suburban -- there is plenty of room. I put 2 bicks between the rear door and the stow-Away. On the causious side, I like my Tule rack on top of the car better bc the car definitly felt "loose" with the extra weight on the back. I only use it when we need to on very long trips. Serves its purpose -- but not easy to drive.

We bought this model and the Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat and could not find any way for them to fit securely, even after watching the video posted in the above comment. There just simply isn't enough room for both carseats to fit securely. I also found the instruction manual for the 1305TW and if you scroll down to Bar Location Chart Chicco is not even on the list.The manual: http://www.babytrend.com/pdf/1305TW_EN_0608c.pdf

Hi, we actually returned this stroller because it was enormous after we assembled it. I have an infinity SUV, and it barely fit in my trunk! Hope this helped...

My Britax B-Safe fit in my friends Infiniti G-35 coupe. It was a day I just really did not feel like driving. If you are really tall and need to push your front seat all the way back that may pose a problem with fitting the seat properly, as well as people that recline their seats during a car ride. Other than those situations I see this car seat being able to fit in the back of a Mustang.

Smallest car I have tried it in was a 2006 VW Jetta, two of them fit with room to spare in the back. The driver and passanger seats did have to be moved forward a bit as with any rear facing car seat.

I would think so. I have a chicco keyfit 30, but the cover has elastic on the edge so it's expandable....I would think the Graco carseat would be comparable in size to the chicco and that it would work for both. In fact, I would be shocked if it didn't fit it. I really loved this for keeping sunlight out and the bugs off!

Yes... I have the graco smart seat which is both rear facing and front. I had plenty of room and its a BIG car seat.

I use it with my graco 35 it's tight fit! But it won't fall out! And I would buy it again;)

We have ours rear-facing in a VW Tiguan (a smaller SUV), and it doesn't obstruct our view, but we put it on the left side of the car, not the middle seat, for this very reason. The seat is very tall and quite large. That being said, it's the best on the market and we love it.

So, it's a bit deceptive, in that the Graco seat has to be in recline mode in order to be rear-facing. Basically, you pull out these "feet" from the underside of the seat in order to put the car seat into recline position when you install to face backwards, and it can't be adjusted into an upright position unless the seat is facing forward, which is one of the drawbacks of the seat and one of the pluses of the Britax Marathon. That said, my daughter loves this seat. She's a year and a half, but on the smaller side, and she has been riding (and napping) in this seat comfortably since she was a little over a year old.

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...

I would like to register for the Snugride 35- has anyone tried it with this seat? It says that it is compatible with the Snugride 32, which shares the same car base, so in theory it should work, right?

Just purchased this and it fits rear-facing in my two door with both front seats all the way back. It's pretty much impossible for my 6'2" broad shouldered husband to get our son in and out of the seat in my car but I don't have any issues. This is a non-issue since my husband doesn't usually drive my two door without me. Go to a store that carries the seat and install the floor model, you aren't required to purchase it there.

I drive a relatively small sedan. There is plenty of extra cover left that I try to wedge in my car... To be honest. I don't even use it much. An f150 is large, and my guess is it may be too small.
