mercrae Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hello all, I have a 2013 Journey R/T and also have 2 children. One is 7 and only needs the booster seat which is no problem, but the other is 8 months and needs a rear facing seat. All of the seats we have tried have been way to big both width and length wise. Has anyone run into this before and if so what seats have you had success with? Thank you! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrae Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Welcome to the forum. There are numerous threads on the forum concerning car seats. Thank you for the welcome! I had hoped that there would be, but am unfortunately not very versed with how forums work so I figured this was the best place to start. Any direction you could point me in would be extremely helpful. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I had one in mine for a couple years and the best place I found for rear facing was behind the front passenger seat. You can move the passenger seat all the forward then once you have baby seat anchored to you satisfaction move the passenger seat back until it helps stabilize the baby seat from wiggling back and forth. jkeaton, rolly and dhh3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have my car seat behind the passenger seat. It probably won't fit in the middle with another car seat next to it. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 One thread on here mentioned putting the booster seat in the third row. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 We have a 5, 3, and almost 1/2 year old. The 5 year old sits in the third row in a booster...he climbs in and out no problem. In front of him (behind the driver seat) is the 5 month old in the infant seat rear facing. We don't have any problem fitting the infant rear facing seat or the clip on base. Behind the passenger is the 3 year old in the convertible car seat forward facing. No problems with her fitting there. The only issue I could see is if you have one of those giant convertible seats rear facing, then it would take up a ton of room. Is that the type of rear facing car seat you have? We like the graco infant seats since you can easily clip/unclip the car seat from the base. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcaliber81 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 My rear facing car seat fit no problems. Getting them in and out was no problems as the rear doors open very wide. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I found it was easier (and less stressful) to just stop having kids. onecrazyfoo4u, dhh3 and jkeaton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I guess I'm in that category too! jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) 3 kids here too. We can fit all of them in the second row with the 15 month old behind the passenger seat and it isn't even all the way forward. He's in a Peg Perego without a base (belt goes over the top in notches designed for that use). My oldest son is in a fairly slim booster seat in the middle and my middle daughter is in a cheap Walmart front facing seat behind the driver. My son sometimes prefers the back. I sure do as they're hard to get buckeled when sitting next to each other. Edited March 12, 2016 by QuarterSwede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
