Default Need opinions on infant seats.

Any feedback positive or negative on the infant seats you are using in 2nd row? I know when the baby grows older I will have to remove the headrest to accommodate a toddler safety seat, but wasn't sure if there were any issues with infant seats. We are currently looking at Chicco keyfit30, Graco or Peg Perego. Also, are you putting them in the middle without latch, or on the side with latch? Thanks for your help!

We have the Peg Perego for our infant and the Britax Marathon for our toddler and have no issues with headrest. The key is to slightly recline the rear seatback a notch or two and the top of the Britax fits right below the bottom of the headrest and flush against the seatback.

With one seat, we placed it in the middle and used the inside two latches. Works perfect. Now that we have two, they are on the sides with the latch.

we also have the peg perego placed in the middle seat using the the latch system.

we went to the circus with another couple and their kids, we decided to take one car and I was also able to fit a britax toddler car seat in the 3rd row but it was a bit snug.

Peg here too.

When it comes time for convertible, if your kid isn't super-sized, take a look at the sunshine kids radian 80. We had one for our toddler before he moved to a booster. Liked it because it was built like a tank and wasn't 3' wide like the britax.

I think that puting them in the third row is the best option as the 2nd row gets totally used up by quality ISO seats like maxi-cosi. Or you can swap out when you need the extra space if you have a full load of passengers.

We have the same britax - and completely agree with the slight recline comment - it works perfectly!

I use a recaro for my 3 years old daughter and a peg perego for my two month old son, one in each side in the second row using the latch system
