Car seat for tall parents?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a car seat for parents that are 5'7" and 6'3"? The closest we've found is the Cybex, but its extremely tight if not impossible.

Please help!

how old is your little one? for newborns in a rear facing seat it really is tough. but my daughter is 3.5 now and I have a Cosco slimline carset that works well.

I am about 6'1" and like to sit pretty far back.

Does your little one sit behind the driver's seat? And even though you need to sit pretty far back, there's still enough leg room for your daughter? TIA.

Yep. She sits behind the driver's seat in my car (not really by choice, but we have kind of a tight garage and I park on the right side so it's easier to load/unload her). She has more than enough leg room, but if she reaches with her feet she can kick my seat so I make her take off her shoes or put a protective pad to keep the seat clean from scuff marks.

Its for a newborn. The smallest we've seen is the cybex now but it's super tight with us both in the car, in any configurations. At a complete loss -

There's a video on YouTube where the guy placed the rear-facing seat in the middle, and this allowed a great deal more front seat room. Of course, this isn't officially the right spot for a child seat, but ...
