Any recommendations from this list for a compact rear seat? (Mazda CX-5)
@ Seth, how old is the child? If they are 9+ months and you don’t mind having them seated in a more upright position (but still rear-facing), the Britax One4Life and Nuna Rava are both good options that take up less front-to-back space. The One4Life is wider than the Rava but will also last much longer before being outgrown. HTH!
Thank you so much for this.
The chicco nextfit only goes upto 40lbs rear facing
Correct. The NextFit Max, which is listed, goes to 50 lbs. RF. I see the links were leading to the regular NextFit and I changed those to take you to the NextFit Max.
This could use an update to add the City Turn. 🙂
