  "question": "Which car seats are narrow enough to fit in a small back seat?",
  "answer": "Britax Emblem: Parents quoted on the page say it takes roughly 31 inches front to back when rear-facing and that two rear-facing seats fit side by side in a Prius. In one small car the seat fitted well and left the front passenger seat further back than an infant carrier did, and two adults could sit beside it.\nBritax Poplar: A good choice for a small back seat because the most upright rear-facing recline is one of the most compact convertible setups available.\nBritax Cypress: The listed dimensions are 28.1 inches deep, 16.9 inches wide and 24.1 inches high.\nBritax Poplar S Convertible Car Seat: The seat measures 17 inches wide, 23.5 inches high and 20.5 inches deep.",
