Don't know why, but that was the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-2666404 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 09:54:22 +0000 babypugs 2666404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this thread! I need to fit a rear-facing infant carseat PLUS a convertible carseat into a 2008 two door Civic. We have the Britax B-Safe, but could get another if necessary. Any tips? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363451 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:56:11 +0000 Revel 363451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: oh, that is good to hear! I hadn't thought as far ahead as the rear facing convertible... uh oh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363406 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:44:55 +0000 tysonja 363406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: ohhh! we are surviving in our 2 door civic with the carseat! it's not sooooo bad (i got used to it) except when he was first born and I was still recovering. Now that he is 5 months (and 18 lbs) it is getting pretty heavy, but we trudge on. :)<br /> We use the chicco keyfit (not the keyfit 30, which is bigger) and are happy with it!</p> <p>I don't know what to do when it is time to switch him to a rear facing convertible carseat though. I don't know how that will possibly fit. :(</p> <p>ETA: we drive a fair bit and he is in there almost every day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363371 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:08:44 +0000 Revel 363371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: @rachiecakes: Thanks! That is good news. I still have payments on this car and it has such low miles that I am loathe to get rid of it if I can absolutely stand it. I figure if I'm only talking about 1-2 car trips a week most of the time, it will be doable, even if it is a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363367 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:06:05 +0000 rachiecakes 363367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: they do! that's how I found that the Baby Trend was the only one that was going to fit in my 2-door Yaris. It was still a pain in the ass, I couldn't recline the passenger seat at all but at least it fit. </p> <p>I've since bought a 4-door Prius, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363364 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:01:23 +0000 DpeachLu 363364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: They do! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363354 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:54:55 +0000 Revel 363354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the info ladies! It sounds like the Chicco keyfit or Maxi Cosi may be the way to go. Am I correct that Babies R Us lets you try carseats out in your car before buying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363257 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:05:43 +0000 DpeachLu 363257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a 2009 two door civic when DD was born. We were able to fit her Chicco keyfit 30 just fine in the middle with the latch system. Plenty of room up front and also for me to sit in the back with her. @Revel: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363256 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:04:56 +0000 Weagle 363256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a B-Safe, but have only had to put it in DH's 2dr Civic one time. It was a pain. Awful. Hated it. I've read that Maxi-Cosi carseats are good for smaller cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363247 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:01:45 +0000 matador84 363247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a 4 dr 03 civic until I sold it two weeks ago. Hated how small it was but loved it pre baby...I drive it for 9 years. We had a Chicco key fit 30 in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363201 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:40:16 +0000 autumnlove 363201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 4 door Civic and our Britax Boulevard convertible seat is a tight squeeze. We had no issues with our Chicco infant seat and base...I think that would work in your car!</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363196 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:38:24 +0000 loveisstrange 363196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband drives a 2-door Accord and we have used our Graco Snugride in it. Yes, it's a pain but it's do-able. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-363171 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:23:57 +0000 Revel 363171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump - or perhaps I'm the only one who will be suffering with a two door and an infant, hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-car-seat-for-a-two-door-honda-civic#post-362502 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:08:03 +0000 Revel 362502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with surviving with an infant rear facing car seat in a two door Honda Civic (2008)? I know that it is supposed to be a huge pain, but I am curious if it is doable. </p> <p>A few things about our lifestyle. We don't drive much - the civic is the one car that SO and I share. We live in an urban area, so would likely only be using the car for shopping trips, visiting family, drivable vacations and the like. Both of us walk or take public transit to work, and will likely, although not 100%, be using those modes to get the baby to childcare if necessary. We may also have family coming to us to care for the baby when we work, in which case they would have their own cars and car seats.</p> <p>Anyone have an experience in this regard? Also, any suggestions on car seats for smaller cars? I've read that the Graco Snugride is a decent option. </p>
