I didn't see any threads that matched what I needed exactly (most used different carseats) but I am gonna go ahead &amp; ask myself! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-try-out-your-carseat#post-841091 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:02:00 +0000 hilsy85 841091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I recommended that website in the other thread as well!

So I printed that out, highlighted my choices, and went to BRU to test the seat in the back of my Versa. Initially, I wanted a Chicco Keyfit, but that model doesn't fit in my car, according to the document. We bought a Graco SnugRide 35 instead, and I plan on getting a Combi Corroco when we upgrade to a convertible seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-try-out-your-carseat#post-841070 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 20:50:04 +0000 runsyellowlites 841070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: @mrs. bird: I don't think I would find what I'm needing... I need to know about fitting 3 seats across (1 convertible, 1 infant or another convertible, and backless booster) &amp; best way to install them... not so much if said seat will fit in said car.</p> <p>Good to know that I can try it installed though!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-try-out-your-carseat#post-841065 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 20:47:22 +0000 mrs. bird 841065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so when I read the title of this I was thinking you were asking about trying as in sitting in the seats! Haha, fact: when buying carseats for my goddaughter and nanny LO, my mom &amp; I 'tested' the seats by sitting in them :D but also by installing them in the car (bought them at BRU), my mom is a CPST so she checked the fit. </p> <p>If you're worried about how certain seats fit in a vehicle, there is a database of car/carseat install compatibility you can search. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-try-out-your-carseat#post-841064 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 20:46:55 +0000 Kemma 841064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried our convertible seat in the car before purchasing, I know too many people who have bought seats that don't fit!</p> <p>I just had the sales assistant being it out to the car for me, but could you google the carseat and car model for reviews? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-try-out-your-carseat#post-841060 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 20:41:51 +0000 hilsy85 841060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think buy buy baby and babies r us will let you out the carseat in your car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-try-out-your-carseat#post-841051 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 20:38:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 841051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, another carseat post... (you'd think I was a ftm). With our last 2 seats (Chicco Keyfit &amp; Combi Coccoro) I didn't try them in our vehicle pre-purchase, I knew that the Combi would work b/c we needed something small but otherwise it was a shot in the dark.</p> <p>Now that I will have to fit 2 carseats &amp; a backless booster across I'm alot more concerned about our seat choice &amp; fit for our future purchase. We only have a Target &amp; Walmart here and of course they don't sell many options "in store"... I thought maybe we could go out of town but even on the babiesrus site it didn't seem they had alot of options "in store". I know I've seen moms say they tried seats out in their car.... HOW did you ladies do this? </p>
