I have a 5 month old daughter who will soon be progressing to a car seat (not part of the travel system) and wondered what people on here use?

It will go behind my wife's chair but she isn't small at 5 foot 7.

When my kids were little we had Recaro's in both our cars. Great car seat.

Any issues with front passenger leg room?

That was when I had my STi. I'm 6'5" so that was always an issue for me.

We used Britax when our kids graduated from the infant carriers. I can't comment on fit in the IS-F, but as far as ease of use & quality, I thought they were nice.

Challenge on the ISF is finding a seat that is not too wide. My kids (9 and 6 years old) are in booster seats that don't fit in the bucket part of the seat bottom.

Britax Marathon. Fits perfectly and still plenty of passenger room.

then don't get safety 1st air. i like it and use it - but no one can comfortably sit in the front seat.

i only got it because it offers so much side protection for a good price - and i can't put my little one in the middle for the F and another car we use.

Didn't make the cut for me. Way too heavy to use with LATCH. See http://www.edmunds.com/car-safety/wh...tch-rules.html

Getting Recaro Performance RIDE this week. My 6 month old is just a tad short of 30" and is squeezing into the Cybex Aton 2 I expected (hoped) to last a year. Love the Cybex, hope the Recaro is as easy to use. and http://www.albeebaby.com/ seem to have the best prices with warranties.

Heard the recaros material make babies sweat more???

I'll check out britax.

Difficulty seems to be finding an isofix seat that is quite low so my daughters legs make the most of the isf front seat design where is scoops in.

I currently have two Graco Nautilus car seats in the back of my IS-F. I would highly recommend these as they are really sturdy, have tons of adjustments and the kids have been very comfortable in them over the years. It's also nice that you can remove the back and it becomes a booster seat when your child gets older.



Here's a pic of one of the Graco seats in the car when I was rocking the rear facing setup on the driver side. Thankfully the shoe marks on the back of the seat wipe right off. Oh, and I have the rare, but desirable IS-F - MINIVAN EDITION!

My wife has the kids in her Highlander 95% of the time, and that's the vehicle of choice when we go out as a family. When I have the kids or on that rare occasion that we take the ISF out as a family, I have two forward facing Graco seats (my kids are 4 & 2.5) that fit perfectly. Fitment in the ISF is much easier with forward facing seats than rear facing infant seats.
