Will A Triumph Advance fit my tiny '92 Corolla?

[Ellie1912]

Hi,
I was looking on here and couldn't find any info on older cars like mine... (I have a '92 Toyota Corolla)

My baby is nearly 9 months old, 27 inches long and 20 pounds, and he rides in a Snug Ride, but I was planning on buying a Evenflo Triumph Advance very soon, as he is nearing the limit on the infant car seat. We have the Snug Ride in the center of the back seat (no other option, as this is such a small car!)... my husband thinks a convertible seat will fit better because they are taller and not as wide as the infant seats... Will the Triumph fit okay?

Thanks! ~K~

	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.

	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.

	Graco SnugRide - Click for more info The Graco SnugRide with EPS infant car seat is a highly popular and top-rated infant car seat that provides first-rate transportation safety for your baby, plus convenient mobility options for you. Even with its relatively low price, the Graco SnugRide with EPS receives unmatched praise for its safety by leading consumer magazines and websites.

The older Evenflo Triumph should fit without any problems, but kiddo will outgrow it much sooner than the new Triumph Advance -- not sure how that will fit your vehicle.... Just make sure to contact your local CPST to have your seat checked & keep posting here with all questions/concerns

Could you recommend a back up seat? (Something under $100?) My Mom comes to visit monthly, for a few days and I'd like to find a seat to use in her car and not take mine out each time she visits... Thanks!

I have the triumph Advance in my '94 volvo 940 and it fits great. I am not sure if your car is smaller or not. I have a cosco scenera (the one with a 5 pt harness) in my mom's car that my son rides to daycare in everyday. It was only $45 at Kmart. It rearfaces to 35lbs and forward faces to 40 lbs. My son is 15 1/2 months and is 20 lbs 6 oz and still rf in both. The cosco seat would be a great spare seat.

	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.
