Golf mk4 car seat for 2Yr old

[jaro2211]

Hi, im looking for a new car seat for my vw golf. the problem with the current seat is that it takes up heaps of room. This results in my knees getting quashed against the glovebox as i cant get my seat back. anyone had this problem? if so any reccommendations on which seat to buy? my daughter is only 2 but she is quite tall

The recommendation is that the child sit rear facing until the upper limits of the seat rear facing, but in this case (I know the car is extremely small), I would turn her around forward facing or keep her rear facing and put the seat behind the passenger seat. That way the passenger seat can be moved forward and a rider and possibly sit behind you. I believe the better solution would be to turn her forward facing. That way you will not have an issue with leg room. What seat do you currently have? If it is a convertible seat, then you will not need to get a new one. You can use the one you currently have. Let me know what you have now and I will be able to help you further.

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

	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. Ready to buy a Convertible car seat?
