Dual Car Seatsin a Double Cab

The wife and I have been talking and we just dont think 2 rear facing car seats will fit in the back seat of my truck, or her FJ...

Does anyone have 2 car seats in the back of there Double cab. .and if so can you post a picture

 

yes, i have a rear facing behind the passenger and a forward behind me.
pics coming.

 

my boss does it in his double cab actually he runs three

 

It can be easily done but you are going to need to move the seats up pretty far. Thy are only in the rear facing for a year, if that is any consolation. I have two forward facing as kids are 5 & 3, but I am also 6'6'' and a rear facing would not of worked for me.

Time to buy the wife a 4runner!

 

We peaked in a 4 runner at Wal-Mart, and they had one in the middle and it looked jsut like my truck.

MY son is one but he doesnt weigh enough to sit in a forward facing seat yet, and the wife was reading something that says to keep kids in rear facing for aslong as possible.. so we are trying to figure it out.. probobly have to put one in middle and one behind the seat im NOT sittin in..

 

Time for a Minivan!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just remember that your going to want your kid facing the rear for as long as possible. It used to be after 1 year you turn them around but the specs have changed recently. Now they go by the weight of the child on when they can face forward. Facing backwards is much safer in a wreck. I know this because my Captain is a child safety seat technician and we are a certified Fire Dept. for installing child seats. I will be taking this week long course next week.

 

Good to know since the wife is talking another one.

 

You are right, I forgot about these new rules. I think the new weight to be able to switch is 25lbs???

 

Yeah.. well the wife willl not drive a mini van.. so either we find a way to make it work in the FJ. or its gonna have to go. .. we got till Jan/Feb to figure it out

 

so does anyone have two "rear" facing car seats??

 

Bump...


Any of the evening TW surfers put two rear facing carseats in the back seat of a Double cab

 

I have a Graco Snug Ride and we are looking at getting a Graco My Ride 65 Car Seat - Bartlett.. it gets really good reviews.. I just wonder if Target will let me take it out in the parking lot and Test fit it

 

Measurements

Graco Snugride we have-
Dimensions: Height: 24.16 "; Width: 17.2 "; Depth: 26.72 "

Graco were looking at getting
Dimensions: Height: 26.0 "; Width: 20.75 "; Depth: 27.0 "

 

I have 3 car seats in the back of my double cab. One is a booster seat but the other two are full on car seats. It's pretty tight back there but I love my truck.

 

I just picked up a Safety First Air Protect Convertable Car seat.. it fits in the FJ.. kinda snug but it fits

 

I have two forward facing seats now but I ran one of each last year.

The rear facing was one of those huge Graco things that snaps into the permanently mounted base. It was behind the passenger seat. When it was in, I couldn't move the passenger seat all the way back but it definitely went most of the way (maybe 2 or 3 clicks from all the way back).

 

yeah, the one i just got start rear facing and switches to forward facing

 

Pickup a 4Runner?
