Help! I need a rear facing car seat that will fit in my 2015 R/T. I currently have a Graco 4Ever and an Evenflo Symphony DLX; neither fit behind the passenger or drivers seat unless we eat the dashboard. The middle is super tight and the passenger seat still needs to be pulled all the way forward for the car seat to fit in its up most position. At this point I can't have a passenger in my front seat when the baby is in the car... so much for using this as our family car :(

Using the 3rd row for the car seat really isn't in option as most of the time that is down for my two big dogs.

If the DVD screens weren't in the back of the seats, this probably wouldn't be an issue. Hell, both of these seats fit just fine in a 1992 Ford Ranger, regular cab!

There has to be others out there that have a 2015 R/T and use a rear facing car set... what seat do you have?

I had the same problem. Even without the base those rear facing seats are huge. I couldn’t sit in my passenger seat because I’d be at such an awkward angle.

They fit much better in a minivan. Wish we would have bought one sooner.

The infant rear facing seat with the base actually fit in the middle of the second row without an issue. It’s the convertible rear facing seat that is an issue right now. Little one needs to stay rear facing until two and has grown out of that infant seat so we are onto a convertible seat and they are all huge!!

There has to be a seat out there that isn’t so bulky when rear facing...

Until I find it I guess we’ll just have to do for the next year and half until Little One can forward face.

i have the britax marathon click tight currently rear facing behind the passenger seat. wife's 5'5" with no issues of leg room. im 6'1'' and if i sit in the passenger seat i have to change the recline of the seat so my head touches ceiling with hat on so i can make for more leg room.

I have used two different Diono models rear facing in our Durango with little issue. The passenger seat has to move forward a bit, but it still provides a functional seat. Happen to really like the Diono Radian XT. My oldest now uses it as a booster.

Agreed britax marathon is a good choice. My youngest is using it now and we had no issues. Honestly nothing is going to be perfect but they're only in that position for so long.

Also have the Diono Radian rear facing behind the passenger without issue. They also have a foam base that can be installed under the seat to change the angle and allow more room for the passenger seat to go back.

I have a 2011, and I assume the interior dimensions between second row and front row are similar. I have used both Britax Marathon Click Tight and the Britax Advocate 70-G3 rear-facing with little to no issues, including long roadtrips. I don't have the rear entertainment system, so that might still be a factor.

I have two Graco contender seats. One front facing, one rear, in my 2015 RT with the tv's. I am 5'11" and I have plenty of room. The seats themselves arent that great though. I had Britax advocate click tight and they were great seats and fit well.

I assume it's the DVD screens causing the issue. I use the Graco 4ever rear facing behind my passenger seat. I'm 5'11" and there is plenty of room. Diono does make slimmer seats though, always see them recommended when using three car seats in one row.
