Two Rear Facing in an Echo?

[milomama]

Does anyone have experience with two rear facing car seats in an Echo?  One would be for a newborn, one for a 2-year-old?  We're looking at our options before baby comes and I want to know if this is possible.  I can turn my two year old FF, but would prefer RF as he's still under the limits of his seat.

It's quite possible :-)

The two year old doesn't need a full 45 degree recline.  Depending on her seat, it's possible that she could be as upright as 30 degrees or even more. 

For the infant who DOES need a full 45 degree recline, the solution is to use a very small seat....like the Combi Coccorro, or the First Years True Fit, or a smaller bucket like the Graco Snugride 22, or a larger bucket installed without the base.   

That way, both children are rear facing, and the driver and front seat passenger still have plenty of room for their legs :)
