[hijack] What kind of car seat did he put in the truck? We really need one for hubby’s truck but haven’t found one that fits. [/hijack]

We got the Britax Roundabout. It just fits. It’s a bit higher priced than some of the other ones but by that point we just wanted something that was safe and would work. I have seen it cheaper than at Babies 'R Us. On the plus side it is quite a nice seat.
He had to set it in the middle, and the highest point of the back is wedged between the front 2 seats, so that the front seats are touching the sides of the baby seat. If that makes sense. I have to push on the back of the front passenger seat a little to settle in if I am riding along, and we can’t put the front seats back very far, but it does fit and we got it checked out to make sure it is safe and everything. It works because the back of the child seat is narrower than most, so it can fit between the 2 front seats where the others can’t. In fact the reviews point out that it is narrow (I noticed one person did not like it because it was narrow, but overall the seat got good reviews.) It is kind of a pain to get him in there, but the truck is not the primary vehicle so we deal with it. Once he goes forward facing it should be easier, so it is only for a few months.
His truck is quite small, it does not have the rear doors so I would imagine if it fits in his it should fit in any truck with a rear seat.
