here's my Pass seat ALL THE WAY BACK with my spare car seat setting in there to take this pic for ya.
Here's how much room is in my FULL SIZE BUICK
To give you an idea on the overall size of my Buick compared to the Truck.
I realize it's a different car seat, but to prove that they have the same Front clearance, here is a pic of both(yes my driver seat is further back, I am merely compariung the front distance of the 2 carseats to show they are the same dimensionsback-front)
As you can see, my Truck has more room than my 2003 Buick LeSabre which is a fullsize car.

Nice carseat dirty dog. Costco? I have the same one. How did you get it to sit so upright? looks like there is a gap on the bottom in the back. Mine sits much more incline than that and you definately have more room there than I do. Whats your trick? Thx

ahh, see, we got the carseat that had separate bases. We got 2 bases, one for each car. Seat would just set right down onto the base and clip into the locking mech. Took 2 sec to install and 2sec to remove. This only required one infant car seat because it mounted to the bases in each car. The seat fit our stroller too! Clipped and locked right in. Made going places super easy. Well worth the money IMO.
We still have that infant seat, 2 bases and stroller if you were interested. Top of the line components. We dont use them anymore. Still have the boxes too..lol
When we went to forward facing, different story. Those are permanent. We dont remove them.

The nicer one in the Buick is a Chicco from BuyBuy Baby . I used a couple coupons we got in the mail for a nice discount. It has hefty side impact protection but the seatbelt tightn is a PITFA. Very stiff.
Anyways, the gap. yeah, thats how I mounted it. I put a heavy bath towel folded up behind the back of the base. Otherwise, it pushes forward and then it creates a much larger gap in the lower back and then doesnt allow the level marker to be correct. The towel corrects it. I strapped that sucker using the latches and seatbelt. Doesnt move at all. I put that car seat in 6 different cars, not one did it fit properly. All had that gap and never sat level like it should. Towel was a perfect fix.
2011Black Ram, do you now want the seat next to the door? I know my wife put our son in the middle in her Forester. She had the same reach problem and that's basically a 4wd car.
I would recc'd going through the pass side to make it easier as I'm sure the pass seat isn't as far back.
