Does the back seat fit a tall child comfortably? One of the pictures shows that the child in the back has to lean forward to fit on the seat without hitting the front sun shield.

My daughter is 3 years old and 43inches and she sits comfortably. (not sure how tall your child is) The sun shield is adjustable, so its not a huge issue. Honestly though, most of the time, when we use the stroller, my daughter is in and out very often to explore and check things out. So its not like she is sitting on the bench for long periods of time. Hope that helps!

It doesn't fit a tall child my son is 28 months and he is tall for his age he does not fit and then sunshade is small it hits his head. It is very bulky I don't recommend this product

When I bought this car because my son was two years, I can not confirm that serves a baby, though the backrest is fully reclining, I'd say no problem but I'm not sure

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.

We used a different seat when our child was rear facing. We turned this seat forward facing from the beginning and also put the head rest on at that time. I can't really answer what age and height, but the book does reference when the child's head is within an inch of the top of the seat.

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.

Yes the seat adjusts and should be fine on the back seat. I'd recommend the bigger person in the front.

I am measuring the seat back at a little over 18.5 inches and seat to canopy at 25 inches. My average height 5 year old still fits in the stroller just fine for the occasional ride. The head bumper piece can not be removed. It can be unsnapped and pushed behind the seat. We just keep ours snapped and my older children use it as a "pillow".

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.

My LO does look pretty comfortable in this seat. It seems to naturally contour his body, not pin him in. We are so happy with this seat we bought two more for our second car and Grandma. Hope that helps.

My son is 3 (and pretty tall) and he fits in it fine. The sun shade is adjustable to two different heights, or you can just remove it all together.

Yes this car seat is wondeful! I did two hours of research and found this one to be one of the best! My son is pretty tall for his age and this rear facing was great for him bc it allows for taller children to still be rear facing!!

My daughter is almost 15 months and is still rear facing in my SUV. I believe it is high enough for her to see out - she can at least see trucks/trees/buildings. I know the seat reclines at various points- so depending on how far reclined they are- could make the difference...

I think it really depends on the height proportions of the child. We haven't had his height measured lately, but we have an 11.5 month-old child who is about 23 lbs in size 4 diapers and wearing 18-month sized clothing. If I were to take a guess, he's probably in the 30-32 inch height range. He's still sitting comfortably in the rear-facing position with 4 to 5 inches to spare before his feet touch the backrest of the vehicle's bench seat. One thing to keep in mind is that growth in overall height doesn't necessarily translate proportionally between torso and and legs. Our baby's torso seems to be growing at the same pace as his legs (about evenly distributed in length), so even a 5 inch growing spurt might only translate to a 2 or 3 inch growth from the feet to the groin. Based upon his current growth rate, I'm suspecting we will keep our child in rear-facing mode until at least 18 months of age.

we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against. My son had no problems with comfort in this seat. HOWEVER if your child is tall, I would highly recommend not getting a Britax seat because the headrest is not reinforced, meaning that when your child's head is 1" from the top of the SHELL of the seat (NOT including the headrest), he/she is too tall to ride rear-facing. This typically happens when the child is wearing size 3T. Just wanted to mention that in case it saves you the trouble we went through. we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against.

We got it when she was 6 months old - it did recline in the rear position - she loved it! It sits very high so she can actually see out . It has a few options when forward facing - no problems. I feel it is extremely safe and while some of he car seats have more recline options - it is definitely worth the peace of mind for the safety aspect.

A Chicco car seat wouldn't fit in the front. It does fit (loosely) in the back. Our son sat up front until the baby could sit independently. Now he happily sits in the back.

No, it doesn't. When my boy was little, I just used my jacket or a little blanket to put behind his back/head. Once he became older, probably around 1, he was tall enough so his head didn't hit the back of the cart. Either way, I prefer no padding over some of the other covers which don't actually cover everything.
