Having trouble with my 2008 saturn vue. LATCH system is on the sides only so the seat is safest on the sides. I have a graco safeseat travel system now and I have to pull the front passenger seat all the way up to fit the infant seat in the back. It is not comfortable to have someone ride in the front passenger when the seat in in the back. I am looking for the smallest available. Please let me know if you have had this problem and what seat you ended up with.

We just bought a Britax Decathalon last weekend. I like the car seat, but the thing tilts forward way too much. My poor son looks so uncomfortable. We are using the latch system in our car (We have a new Saturn Vue) and it appears that the latch straps are so short (they barely reach to our latch system in our car) that the base of it is pulled so tight against the back of the seat of the car that it angles forward. He is uncomfortable and doesn’t like it. My mom has a Graco in her car and he’s happy as a cat in that one, but the Britax one, he doesn’t like it. He’s angled forward way too much! Has anyone had this problem? Is there any way to fix it? We have the adjustable straps as long as they will go. Help!

My wife and I are expecting twins and already have a 9 year old and have a Nissan Altima and a Toyota Tacoma. We need to get rid of the Tacoma (5 people aren’t going to fit) and get a roomier vehicle that can also tow a boat yet hopefully get decent MPG (and that won’t cost an arm and leg). Things we’re considering: Saturn Vue (6cylinder), Toyota RAV4 (newer with 6 cylinder and tow package), Toyota Highlander (6 cylinder), Nissan Xterra (weak on mpg, but cheap and can tow), and possible a Ford Escape or Jeep Liberty. We’re shooting for "gently used", though there’s not much price difference with the Toyotas (new or gently used). We’d like some suggestions on what vehicle(s) we should look at.
Thanks!
