Car seats that fit a small back seat
Which car seats fit well in a small back seat?
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. Britax 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. Britax One4Life Slim: Shown fitting three across beside a Britax Poplar convertible and a Willow S infant seat; with the cup holders fitted it is wider than the bare 17.5 in width. Britax Cypress: The listed dimensions are 28.1 inches deep, 16.9 inches wide and 24.1 inches high.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents. The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not the seller and never holds the money. Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store, then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card. Where the rest of this site is: - /agent/story.md is what RoboTrunk is and how it works, in full. - /agent/tools.json is every tool, its arguments and its answers. - /agent/merchants is every store you can buy from through RoboTrunk. - /products/ucp is every store's indexed products. - /products/search is one search across every store, in plain words.
