Has anyone installed this in a smaller auto? I have a 4 door jeep wrangler so am a bit limited on space in the back seat.

I put in in a SUV.I can tell you that the car seat is very big and there is a limit on how far you can put back your front seat. I am 5'9" and it's not a problem but if I were six feet tall, there might be.As I said in my review, the customer service team is terrific. I am sure if you called them, they would give you an honest opinion.Additionally, I have Amazon Prime so return shipping is always free for any reason.

It fits fairly well. We've had it in my husband's Ford Focus (forward facing) and it fits. You might have to move the front seat up a little, but it will fit. It does take up more room rear facing because it has to be reclined farther, but it should fit.

I have a 2002 4 door Jeep Grande Cherokee and it worked just fine. The way theses particular seats are designed in the Jeep, we had to put the Britax car seat behind the passenger seat and not in the middle. We did have to move the passenger seat up a tad, but there was still room up front. This was done with the Britax car seat turned facing backwards. We have since move the car seat forward facing. I hope this helps.

My husband works for Enterprise Rent-a-Car and we have installed this in everything from a compact car to a suburban. In a jeep wrangler, I-the one sitting in front of the car seat-had plenty of room with my son rear-facing. You should be able to go to babies r us and try one out even if you buy from amazon :)

I have had mine three in a row, with one of those an infant seat, in a Dodge Dakota, which would be comparable to a small SUV. The infant seat has a wider base, so I think it is definitely doable, though it might be a tight fit and difficult to install the seats three in a row. HTH.

Box is about 5'x2'x1'......it should fit in the Jeep. Might take some arranging but you can get it in there. Suggest taking out the back seat. It is heavy though. Truck would be better but Jeep will work.

My husband has a 2012 Jeep Liberty and I have 2012 Ford Escape. We use this car seat rear-facing in both of those, and we put it in the center. We have to use the angle adjuster purchased separately for there to be enough room. Also, if we wanted to install it behind one of the front seats instead of in the center, the front seat would have to be moved up significantly. Not sure that it would fit in a compact car, but alot of it has to do with the shape of the front seats. I would suggest finding a store that sells them locally where you can actually try it out.

This car seat is rather big. I imagine it would be pretty tight in a smaller car especially rear facing. We have it in a Hyundai sante fe crossover and decided to put it forward facing because of the leg room for or daughter

My seats are currently out of my 2-door 2014 Wrangler Sport but when I put the organizer in the back it looks like it would fit with the back door closed. There is about 6 inches of clearance from the organizer to the anchors for the back seats. The organizer is also flexible so even if it came up a smidge short the organizer would give against the pressure from the seats. Of note, I haven't actually used my organizer in a while because it isn't as durable as I'd like and it slides around if heavy things aren't in it (maybe consider velcroing it onto the floor).

Hi Matt, I used the supplied Velcro to install it under the driver's seat of my 2014 Cherokee; then I used a couple of foam pieces to keep it secured and to stop any metal under the seat from vibrations. The guy who did the install for me has a 2008 Wrangler with two of the Kicker Hideaway Compact Powered Subs; he installed one under each front seat as they didn't fit under his rear seat. I'm not sure what year yours is but the newer Wranglers may have more clearance under the rear seat.

I have an 02 Jetta and if fit pretty well in the back. I was even able to put down the 60 side of the split back seat to use for cargo.

Define small? I have a 2003 Honda Accord 4 door and this fits fine in the trunk with room to spare. You may want to go to the bob website and watch some of the videos or perhaps youtube? They show the stroller being folded up and being put into a trunk, perhaps it would help you seeing it done to know if it may fit in your car?

Same here. It fit's barely, however, the box was too tall and hit the rear trim piece behind the seats. The armrest hits the sub completely when you put it up so you could never use the middle as a seat anymore. I honestly didn't like it and didnt install in in my truck (2000 Silverado regular cab).

I drive a Hyundai Elantra and it fits in there. It is almost up against the front seat (my daughter is still facing backwards) so it is snug but it fits. My husband has a Toyota Tacoma truck and it fits fine in there as it is a little roomier. It doesn't seem like a huge seat- smaller than others I looked at, but it still takes up a decent amount of space in my sedan.

I have it on the Mini Cooper Countryman and it is just slightly bigger. but i just fold the bottom and it looks from the outside that its perfects! if you want to look at it. here's a few of my pictures http://instagram.com/p/L8g-_sJ9pZ/ http://instagram.com/p/LtgBBiJ9on/

I only carry autos, but have had no problem, regardless of size. I think it will fit with no problem.

After reading below comments, I also have a medium sized car and its a perfect fit for my back seat. If you had a large 4wd it might not fit as well. :) but I think fine for a small or medium car.

Works great in the back of my 2012 Wrangler Unlimited (4-door). Might be too big for 2-door.

Some vehicles have a different configuration to fit in smaller spaces. Also there are three sizes of thread chasers. My suggestion would be to Google the make and vin and order the part No. suggested. Or take a chance on that one.

I installed it in a 87 jeep wrangler behind back seat and it just fits between the back seat and tailgate. If you look around you can get the exact dimensions from the net.
