Best car seat for 2003 VW Beetle??

[ChiaraRose]

Hi everyone,
does anyone of you have an idea what car seat fits best into my Beetle??
WE also have a Subaru Outback, but because the bug is so much smaller I am trying to find a seat that will fit into it first.
Suggestions?
Thank you!

Gosh, I have no idea...but I wanted to mention that Babies R Us let me try out two carseats in my vehicle a few weeks ago. They had an employee carry the seats I wanted out to the car with me, and when I was done he took them back in. You could decide on your top couple of favorites based on features you want, and go try them out to see which fits best.

The carseatdata.org (http://carseatdata.org/selectseat.asp) website has a handful of reviews for the VW Beetle...none for that year, but some 2002/2004. If the link I gave doesn't work, go to the site, enter database (takes a while to load) and then search by VW. hth!

Just a thought on carseats-
When they are rear facing convertibles it is really hard to take install them properly. The more it is moved around the less safe it will be.
When we had our dd's seat rear facing it was professionally installed and we never moved it.
Also, when they are rear facing they most likely have to go in the middle or else the driver's or passenger seat have to be pushed so far forward it was impossible to sit in the front seat.
