We purchased a Peg Perego Primo Viaggo SIP car seat and are currently using it in our 2007 Lexus IS and 2002 Mazda Protege 5. We have it installed behind the passenger seat in both cars. However, we've run into a problem. Both my husband are slightly tall (I'm 5'10" and he's 6'2") and we are so crunched in the front passenger seat it almost seems unsafe (knees touching the dashboard). We can't place the infant seat behind the driver or in the center since either position would restrict the driver from being positioned safely. It seems crazy that these non-compact cars are unable to accomodate the infant seat. Can you share if this seat takes up more space than most? Or do we need to invest in a bigger car to accomodate our son? I am really anti big cars so am just shocked these two reasonably sized cars are so crunched with the seat installed!

Thanks for any insight you can provide. We're totally baffled on this one.

	Infant Car Seats Infant-only rear-facing seats are for babies up to about 22 to 30 pounds, depending on the specific car seat. You will need a new seat when your child gets bigger. Infant-only seats have handles that allow you to move the seat from the car to the house or other locations. Some have a base that you can leave installed in the car, so you can just click the car seat into place each time you use it.
