Are you going to need to install the seat rear facing?

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

I haven't seen the interior of this vehicle & cannot find any pictures online.... If the seats are deep, then Britax is often the easier choice for safe/correct installation & if the adults are tall then you may need a shorter shelled convertible (such as: Roundabout or Diplomat) for Rear Facing, unless it can be installed in the center. Please see page "Newborn -- Preschool" in my website for detailed info on why kids should stay RF until the maximum limits of a convertible seat, even well beyond the minimum 12 months.
