I've got two B540's in the back of our '09 Honda Civic. There is about 10-12 inches between the seats. We can fit an adult in the back by shoving one seat to the middle, but it not comfortable and I we only employ this method when family visits. Two fit great; a third might fit but it would have to be smaller than the B540.

It should fit no problem. we have 4 recaro's in our minivan, and 4 in our Honda Pilot. they are large car seats, so we were unable to fit 3 across, but 2 can fit well in a back seat. we had an BMW x5 before and we fit 2 of them with no problems. the are excellent seats and I recommend them to everyone. I purchased two of these for my 4 and 6 year old because I felt the 5 point harness was more secure than a booster. they are well made, solid seats. Hope this helps.

We have the diono radian rxt and it works great in an expedition bucket seat. I'm assuming that's similar to a suburban. The diono footprint is small compared to other seats we've tried and we can fit 2 adults and the carseat across the bench seat in our passat with no problem. Hope that helps!

I wanna used the rear bench seats, but only the bottom not the back. does it come into two pieces say for only where ppl will sit and not there backs. I have a arm rest that comes out in the middle so I don't want to put the ones in the back if it won't allow to pull down for cup holder. I wanna know if I can just split the bottoms on, and if there is access to seat belts.

Our 2 1/2 year old fits great, same weight. He has been in it for months now. Our 7 year old used a Recaro as well. Best seat on the market in my opinion. Good luck!

If your car manufacturer specifies differing lengths, then check the sides in the manual (usually the longer length is on the driver side, shorter on passenger...unless you have a rear wiper then it gets fun with the one that is really short on the back!). If there is no specific info, then it doesn't matter. You can also check with the Bosch database on their page to determine which size is appropriate for your car.

I will fit but the seat in front of the car seat will not be to conferrable. When the car seat is in the rear facing position it takes up room. We have a BMW and a Scion and the passenger literally has to sit all the way to the front so the diono seat will have enough room. If i could go back in time i would get this seat once the baby was able to face forward!!

It's a pain to get situated properly, especially if you have to accommodate a shoulder strap. It fits fine backwards in my 4-door Altima, though it does press against the front seats if they are slid or leaned back much. A small car would be a tight fit.

If you buy the angle adjuster ($10) it definitely helps with the rear facing position. Any convertible car seat will be bigger than a carrier but the Diono is slimmer than other convertibles.

I don't know. It's not made for full size seats. Full height back it stood out about 7-8" when you put stuff on it it went down but made me uncomfortable to where the the cloth was comming from. Must have been from the bottom because I really didn't see If it was pulling from the top. But I was worried about the elastic tucks and head rest areas speaking of the head rests. The are not evenly spaced. Two one drivers side and one on passanger side. I mean right next to one another. Nothing like pictured. I think I'll buy the ones for dogs and see if that will fit deeper. My opinion, I wouldn't buy it though Dickies is a good name, I have no clue where they got this cut. I don't know. It's not made for full size seats.

I have a honda fit (same size as a prius) and have had a heck of a time finding a seat to fit this, especially with 3 kids! I had the graco comfortsport, it didnt fit well either rear or forward facing, went with the graco myride 65, same issue and its HUGE! tried a cheap cosco from walmart and it fit fairly well forward and not too bad rear facing but it was so flimsy I didnt feel it was going to hold up in case of a crash. Alot of my friends have the britax marathon or advocate so I decided it was time to try one but our finances dont allow a new seat. I found a used (spare seat that was never actually used) for super cheap from a local mom so I bought that and it fits PERFECTLY in our fit. It was a bit hard to get to fit that way so I had to roll up a towel but he will be forward facing pretty soon so not that major of a problem too me, all our seats have to have rolls. I would recommend this seat in a heartbeat, Im not a fan of the colors of any of the britaxs but you can always find a cover on ebay to custom fit! I also love the velcro to hold the straps so Im not digging around under his butt for the straps. I have a 14 month old who is 25 pounds and 33" tall.

That's a good question. I have a 1978 Yahmaha (2 seater) and my sense is that I don't really have room to spare in the back when I put the cover on. Check with the manufacturer and inquire if they have a four-seater. Good luck.

Good question. You might look at Toyota seats and see how they compare with yours.

I still haven't worked how to use it correctly. I have A Nissan Patrol and the seats seem to be too wide. I think it only suits very small doge (toy poodle etc). Sorry I am not much help!

Jon, The Narrow part is about 4.7". It is very good to save the back from sweating while driving for long hours.

Depends on the SUV....we drive an Equinox and have one car seat and it is not comfortable to fit two adults in the backrow with the car seat. I can't imagine two carseats plus an adult in that vehicle, which is why we are looking at a bigger car when the second child arrives.

I found that my 5yr old grandson had more room to grow in the Diono. The Britax fit too snug - I felt it couldn't accomodate him as well now or when he's 6 or 7. Hope this helps you.
