Sorry, I forgot to mention that the car seat I saw was in rear facing position.

That's a pretty small car. ...I think this seat might be a little big. It was a fairly tight squeeze in my Subaru sedan.

If your using if front facing I think it will be fine. But I would not recommend it for a small car if your using it rear facing. My wife has a 2012 Buick lacrosse which is a pretty big car and rear facing the car seat is snug up against the driver seat

The seat is a really phenomenal seat, just so comfortable. It is really big though, but I think all of the seats these days are. I think you will be able to get it in to a small car, but the problem is the front passenger seat will be moved up all the way as far as possible, so nobody would really be able to sit there. So, I guess it depends on how important that is. I think any baby seat in a very small car would have the same problem.

Hi! I have a SUV however, I saw a very old and small car with this car seat in the middle of the rear seats and it looked great! Good luck

sorry Melissa - i don't know about Chicco - i have had peg and graco seats and it seems universal i would take the chance - this is the best item!

Thanks for your reply stephanie. The reason I was asking this Q was also because I was hoping to find a compatible Stroller for my baby with the Roundabout. But it appears that they dont make a stroller where you can just detach the car seat and fit it into a stroller, like they have for the Graco Snugride. What did you do in terms of having a convertible stroller...any Recommendations? Thanks

Hey! I have this carseat cover its amazing! it looks great my sons carseat was a graco but no matter te type I think it could fit any infant seat. I may even try it on her toddler seat when we switch. It is big but the excess fabric I just pull down the outside of the carseat more. One concern for me is how the fabric would wash because of the fur.... It washes great, looks as good as new... plus never looks dingy or look like it needs washed.... Great buy! Expensive but great buy! Oh always getting compliments too!!! Makes me fill my daughter is original and has something no one else has. Well a select few!! :) good luck! See what their return policy is if it doesn't fit, it's defiantly worth it! Hey!

I loved the seat, but only had it for one, and didn't use it for her as a newborn. It's certainly one of the smallest footprint seats I've seen. It would not allow you to pop the seat in and out of the car with the baby in it, which one big advantage of the other sort of seat.

The Chicco Key Fit 30 carseats DO FIT. I use mine all the time with two of these car seats. They are very secure as well. I suggest watching the you tube video for help.TIP: Be sure the first seat is completely strapped in before inserting the second one. Seat the car seat closest to you first.

I drive a Hyundai Elantra and it fits in there. It is almost up against the front seat (my daughter is still facing backwards) so it is snug but it fits. My husband has a Toyota Tacoma truck and it fits fine in there as it is a little roomier. It doesn't seem like a huge seat- smaller than others I looked at, but it still takes up a decent amount of space in my sedan.

It's kind of too big for my Chevy Cruze front bucket seat. Sits on the edges so a quick shift or tight turn may make the seat itself shift from being level if that makes any sense to who reads this. I'm going to try the small and maybe keep the larger one for long trips so he can lay down which was my whole purpose in getting the large.

We have a Kia sorento which I think I is comparable and I have enought room being 5'5 but for my husband who is 6'4 it is a snug fit for him to ride in the passanger seat. Most convertible car seats we have seem are similar though.

It fits my Hyundai Accent, which is also a small car. It's comes in "accordion" fold, so the last 2 folds on each side comes out. It runs a little big, but it still looks awesome.

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:)

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!

It fits just perfectly in my Prius in rear-facing, and I have to believe that's smaller/tighter than an Impala. It's much smaller than similar Graco models. I used a loaner that took up two seats in the back! With this car seat, grandma and I can still squeeze in the back seat with the baby and let dad and grandpa have the long-leg seats up front.

The instruction manual says that it fits all Peg Perego car seats. And, for other seats, they have adapters. I think you're good to go!

Perhaps some types of carseats don't fit in as well as Chicco Keyfit 30....but our Keyfit definately snapped into the adapter. Perhaps they have redesigned this adapter over the past year (this original question was posted a year ago). The straps came with the adapter, but you can put them on or take them off, as you see fit. When our carseat snapped into place, if you try to lift the car seat --- the entire stroller is lifted off the ground. Very secure. In fact, we never even used the straps.

This car seat is a little big. I have an older Subaru & have issues with it fitting in the back seat. I just can't have a passenger in the front seat. They have to sit in the back. This is just my commuter car so I don't worry about it too much. I figure that I will put up with the issue since it was one of the higher safety rated car seats that I could find,
