Car Seat Help Needed

ally2011

Hi Ladies,

We looked at car seats last night and I have been worried that my car is pretty short...but it is shorter than I thought.  I have a 2002 RAV4.  We only tried the Graco Snugride 30, but the base did not fit all the way on the seat and I am not sure if we can even install in the center since it is really 2 removable seats that form a bench.  If we have to put on passenger side, the passenger seat will have to be moved up more than is ideal I think.

Any tips?

Is it ok for the base not to fit fully on the seat?

I don't think I have latch and really have no idea how to install it, but I know there will be a manual.

Any recommendations on car seats that will work better in a smaller car?  I don't know how we will ever have a convertible rear facing in there.

Thanks for any help you have!  I am a little overwhelmed.
