We have an Audi S4 and we're nervous that this car seat will not fit rear-facing in the back of the car. Does anyone have a car of similar size?

You should be nervous. The thing is huge. We have a 4door accord, and when my bf drives (he's 5'11), his legs can't fit in the space in front. We'll be happy when our soon is too big for rear facing and we'll switch it forward.

I have a mitsubishi lancer evolution and it fits in my car no problem. We also got the same seat for my girlfriend's car and she has an Infiniti g35. Her car is a little more cramped but it still fits

I have a Nissan rogue and it's very tight in my backseat. It blocks my blind spot no matter where I put it. I love the car seat but it's definitely huge!

I have a 2014 Mitsubishi Evolution. The Audi S4 is similar to my car's size, and it fits perfectly. Keep in mind that mine has Ricaro racing seats in it too, and it still fits. There is actual a few inches between the front seats and the car seat itself. (I have the car seat rear facing right now)

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 don't have that car but one problem I've found is when rear facing you have to have the carseat tilted and it makes the front seats have to be moved up a lot. I think it will git much better when I can forward face

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!!

It really is a great car seat. It does recline for the rear facing position.

I have a 2012 Civic sedan and it fits great anywhere. My baby is still in the center backward facing. Its the best seat. He is comfortable and I know he's safe.

I must admit, the seat is quite big. My car is a nissan tiida and it takes up almost 1/2 of the back seat. The front passenger seat 'chucks' the baby seat in place so the passenger seat cannot move once the carseat is set. Yes it will fit, but u have to compromise on availabilty of space in ur car for the baby's safety.

It fits just perfectly in my Prius in rear-facing, and I have to believe that's smaller/tighter than an Impala. It's much smaller than similar Graco models. I used a loaner that took up two seats in the back! With this car seat, grandma and I can still squeeze in the back seat with the baby and let dad and grandpa have the long-leg seats up front.

I think so...I have a regular car seat n it's a little snug...so it should be able to fit the rear facing car seat...

I have a 2006 Pontiac Torrent with a decent slope not much of a bucket but the only struggle I had was to ensure the rear facing strap was taught - but once we got that taken care of it was fine. Took all of 20min - approx 10min of that was trying to get a good place for the rear facing strap. My mom has a 2008 Toyota Avalon which has bucket seats and I find that the same seat fits well :o)

I have a Kia Sorento and it fits rear facing on both sides, though doesn't leave a ton of leg room for front passengers. I've found it fits best in the middle of the backseat as opposed to having it on either side of the car. It's a LARGE seat.

I have a honda fit (same size as a prius) and have had a heck of a time finding a seat to fit this, especially with 3 kids! I had the graco comfortsport, it didnt fit well either rear or forward facing, went with the graco myride 65, same issue and its HUGE! tried a cheap cosco from walmart and it fit fairly well forward and not too bad rear facing but it was so flimsy I didnt feel it was going to hold up in case of a crash. Alot of my friends have the britax marathon or advocate so I decided it was time to try one but our finances dont allow a new seat. I found a used (spare seat that was never actually used) for super cheap from a local mom so I bought that and it fits PERFECTLY in our fit. It was a bit hard to get to fit that way so I had to roll up a towel but he will be forward facing pretty soon so not that major of a problem too me, all our seats have to have rolls. I would recommend this seat in a heartbeat, Im not a fan of the colors of any of the britaxs but you can always find a cover on ebay to custom fit! I also love the velcro to hold the straps so Im not digging around under his butt for the straps. I have a 14 month old who is 25 pounds and 33" tall.

If your trying to know if the seat will fit in a small back seat of a car, it will. My car is a Jetta, not the latest and is pretty small in the back and fits fine.The width it´s aproximately 30 cm.

Probably not in the rear facing position. I have a cts and it barely fits correctly. Go to babys r us and ask to test fit a similar one, they should let you.

It is a large car seat. When it's rear facing it does take up a lot of room. I would recommend measuring the space you have in the back seat to make sure it will fit. I have a large SUV and it fits fine. We haven't switched it between cars but you have to unsnap the buttons on the bottom of the seat cover to install it and when its rear facing its a little difficult to re-snap the buttons. Overall it is a great car seat. My son is very comfortable in it and it's well padded.

I don't know for sure, but my best guess is no. I had one in the back/middle of a mountaineer, which is much bigger and it was right up against the seat and actually pushed into it. I've heard many people say it doesn't fit rear facing in most cars.

This car seat is a little big. I have an older Subaru & have issues with it fitting in the back seat. I just can't have a passenger in the front seat. They have to sit in the back. This is just my commuter car so I don't worry about it too much. I figure that I will put up with the issue since it was one of the higher safety rated car seats that I could find,

The seat back is quite thick. I drive a Volvo S60, and there is limited space in my back seats as well, however, it is not so drastic that I wouldn't use the carseat. I would imagine that the car seat would have to be substantially thicker to pose a safety risk because your child was too close behind the seat. I would say that the safety benefits far outweigh the risks.
