Best convertible car seat for Subaru Tribeca?

[Raz@NOLA]

Currently we are looking for a convertible car seat for our Subaru Tribeca. The second row space is limited especially with my tall husband. Our baby still needs to sit rear facing for a few more months. We have been looking at the Britax and the Maxi-Cosi convertibles. Any suggestions. Thanks.

	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.

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.
