Default 2008 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab Car Seat Options

Problem/Issue: Looking for the best car seat for our 2-year-old daughter.
We own a 2008 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab and want the best fitting car seat.
The rear seats are extremely upright and our Britax Marathon won't fit properly.Any suggestions on a comparable seat would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How is the Marathon not fitting correctly? If the back of the carseat is flush with the back of the vehicle seat and you have less than 1" of movement from side to side, you should be okay.

You can also post pictures and we will help in anyway that we can.

Default proper fit

The Marathon fits great in our Toyota 4Runner but the rear seats in the chevy are so straight/upright the seat doesn't lay properly. The angle of the Britax is the issue.

I wish there was a way to see pictures.

If the base is sitting flat on the vehicle seat and the back is as flush as can be to the back of the vehicle seat, less than 1" of movement from side to side and no forward/backward movement, it should be okay. Sometimes it can be misinterpreted that a seat doesn't fit correctly a certain way b/c it fits differently in another vehicle, make sense?
