Convertible (Rear Facing) Car Seats

[kput]

Hello all, my little guy has just about reached the height limit for his infant car seat (been using one of the Nuna seats and love it) so I need to make the move over to a convertible style seat. Obviously loading a 1 year old into a rear facing seat in these cars is an absolute nightmare, so I'm looking at some of the 360 degree rotating seats on the market.

I think I've narrowed it down to the Evenflo Revolve 360, but have also seen the Nuna REVV, and Cybex Sirona X.


Just looking to see if anyone has installed and used one of these seats before, would mostly like to make sure they fit, be installed correctly with the steep angle of our rear seats, and can still leave room for a front-seat passenger.


Thanks for your help! Little guy is going to love going for rides as he gets older

Sorry, I can't help you. However, do you have photos of the infant car seat installed???

I ask because I had a Focus ST, and we barely (ie didn't, my wife's knees touched the dash, or we had to put the baby seat in the middle) fit in the Focus with an infant seat. I couldn't imagine how much less room we would have had with a full size car seat.

I have 2 Graco forever deluxe forward face(had them rear facing as well before) had no issues. Wife is a little shorter(I am 6 ft tall) so having the seat moved up is not an issue. We actually prefer taking the mustang over our suv as you can reach back to them easier.

As for "love going for rides" when they get older, the sooner you can get them out of a child seat the better. Riding in the back seat of a convertible gets old fast when you are sitting on an elevated seat. My grandkids much rather not ride in my convertible now, as a result.

There is no way you are a member for two years, and this is your first post. LOL
