If we put this in our Mercedes C55, will the seats on either side of the car seat be available for an adult to sit and buckle up as well?

Yes, it is a wide seat. From experience with the previous Recaro booster, it is a tight fit in the back seat of a Saab sedan for one booster and two females. It was not a comfortable ride. This current Recaro model seems to be a smidge wider.

Not sure but in our Lexus RX350 I would say we could fit 2 additional adults but I doubt it would be a comfortable ride for very long.

You can place any car seat in the back and it probably wouldn't go anywhere but in order for it to snap into place it has to be a graco classic connect. I use the graco snug ride.

It's definitely a large carseat. I have a Jetta - which is a little bigger than a civic and it fits fine in the middle seat (we have it rear facing still). It could definitely fit in the side seats as well if necessary.

If the back seat has a head rest that the strap can slip over, then yes. However, I do use mine in the front seat. The back seat will NOT allow you, however, to secure the bottom strap which is designed to buckle behind the back of the seat itself keeping the carseat snug against the back of the seat.

It takes some strength in your hands to get both seat belts through the buckle but it can be taken on and off, four instance if an adult needs to use the seatbelt. But it's really better just to order extras and put them in the car or cars that you she will be using.

I would not recommend it because it does not have any sides like the picture on the left shows. It might cover the width of the seat surface but the sides would not be covered so when you open the car door it looks awful. I would also think that as a person tried to get into the seat they would catch the edge of the material and roll it up under themselves.

yeah the seat is big and tall, occupies nearly half of the back seat of car, and doesn't left much space to the top of the car . What you have concerned is very reasonable, I can hardly imagin that a maybe 5 yr old child sit in it. You can choose some simple design and slimer car seat, but it might not as comfortable as this one.

Yes, I have used the LATCH/Isofix system with no problem. It has cut outs to accommodate either this or standard lap/shoulder seat belts.

I have it in a full size truck and a Nissan murano. I don't think it is as bulky as most convertible car seats so it's worth a shot in a sedan. I'm very satisfied with mine, that why I bought another for our second car. It's a five point harness, not a lap/shoulder belt.

As Long as you have access to the back of the seat. It straps into the seat with a second buckle that goes around the backrest

You have the option of either seatbelt or latch.. We really love these car seats!

I would have to say no. They are very tight fitting as is, and I have a Mercedes in which the seats are not that large. Chances are if you do get the cover on the seat it will undoubtably start riding up in one place or another, making it rather uncomfortable to sit. Hope this helps

She can buckle and unbuckle herself in our Porsche Cayenne. However we had to purchase seat belt extenders for our Honda Accord.

I actually made a mistake last time I answered a question here. Someone had switched the cover between cars and I did not see the 2 slots for the seatbelts. It would be a simple fix to use the headrest straps to your advantage and use another twine or cord to extend down behind the seat-backs and attach down below to some steel mount or spring frame. A shoulder strap may work to hold the cover at the corners. A low waist belt may not work but it could hold the base in place. For the price, this has saved a lot of wear in my vehicles.

If u have a straight across front or back seat then probably not; the bottom strap that goes around the seat is adjustable and has length but the strap in the picture does not unless u have a narrow top to attach to ur seat. Or u can place the car seat on ur seat front or back and use ur seatbelt to keep the seat secure my main concern was to attach my puppy to the car seat with her harness so so was secure while I was driving. I love it though Sorry, I hope I was able to answer ur question Happy Holidays L

We have a Mercedes R350, more of a cross over. We opted to not get the center seat but a console instead. There is ample room for a third to fit with room to spare. Our sister cared for our kids for several days while we were away. She has a Mini-Coop, certainly a compact car. Three would fit across her back seat. They are only slightly wider than those cheap booster you can pick-up anywhere. We have 2 of these as well for back-ups. In the Mini Coop with 3 across, I don't think you would be able to use all of the built-in cup holders but you might be able to use one cup holder on each seat if positioned correctly. Hope this helps as they are comfortable and safe seats. The ability to fold them flat when removed makes them great to change between vehicles and for travel.

Depends on the SUV....we drive an Equinox and have one car seat and it is not comfortable to fit two adults in the backrow with the car seat. I can't imagine two carseats plus an adult in that vehicle, which is why we are looking at a bigger car when the second child arrives.
