Question

Do you think it is possible for me to fit a toddler car seat and an infant car seat in a dodge neon?

Answer 1

It will work but you have just increased the risk of danger too the children.

Answer 2

Yes there's plenty of room

Answer 3

Yes, but be sure to put one in the center and one behind the driver.  The passenger side is statistically proven to be a death trap - the passengers side is more likely to get hit in an accident than the drivers side.  Safest place is center and drivers side

Answer 4

Yes, but you won't be able to push the front seats very far back.

Answer 5

Yes.  My sister had a 2000 neon.  Her back seat was bigger than mine in my regular ol' car.  It will fit.

Answer 6

yeah i do believe so that you can .

Answer 7

Yes, you should be able to with no problem.

Answer 8

It shouldnt depending on how you place them. I have a little honda civic & have fit a toddler,infant, & two adults in my car

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

Yes my friend had a 2000 dodge neon and did it all the time, so def.

Answer 11

sure, one on the passenger side back and the other on the driver side back.  they won't fit side by side though

Answer 12

Yeah I would think so!

Answer 13

Yes - with no problems. Put the infant seat behind the shortest rider, since it takes up more space front to back than a toddler seat, so the front seat won't be able to be pushed as far back.

Also - the passenger seat is NOT 'statistically proven to be a deathtrap'. What utter nonsense!!!! Yes, ideally, every child could ride in the middle, but once you have more than one that just isn't happening. Besides, the middle is only safe if the car seat installs well there, and in many smaller vehicles, car seats do not install well in the middle position b/c of its shape. Outboard (driver and passenger) is not unsafe, middle is just safest if it fits right.

Also - remember to keep both your baby and toddler rear facing for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!! Turning kids forward at 20lbs/1year is an outdated practice that could cost you your child's life! American Academy of Pediatrics says to keep kids rear facing to the limit of their convertible car seat. All current models go to at least 30lbs, many higher.

A forward-facing child under 2 years old is 4 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a crash than a rear-facing child of the same age. A child's vertabrae do not fully fuse until 3-6 years old, before then, she is at great risk for internal decapitation. The spinal column can stretch up to 2 inches in a crash BUT the spinal cord can only stretch up to 1/4 inch before it snaps and baby is gone.

In the age of the internet its amazing so much misinformation exists! Please please do not listen to people telling you to turn your child forward facing 'at your judgement' or when her legs touch the seat. In truth, most children LIKE resting their feet on the back of the seat in front of them. Check out this photo album exclusively of rear facing kids, many of them much older than 12 months: http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/RFAlbum... It is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (see sources) that ALL babies stay rear facing as long as possible, up to the weight/height limits of their seat. Most seats go to 30lbs rear facing, some go higher, check your manual. They are too tall for an infant carrier when the head is within an inch of the top of the shell. Too tall for most convertible seats when their ears reach the top of the seat. Has nothing to do with how long their legs are! There isn't a single documented case of a child breaking their legs b/c they were rear facing in an accident. There are, however, lots of cases where children have been killed and seriously injured where a rear facing seat would have protected them better. They are safest rear facing b/c their bones have not yet completed the ossification process that bonds/hardens them like adults. They need the bracing support that a rear facing seat offers to withstand a crash. 20lbs AND 1 year is the bare minimum as far as the law is concerned, but the law is the bare minimum of safety, and who wants to do the bare minimum for their child?

I have a 2 door Honda Civic coupe, and it fits 2 seats in it just fine.

Answer 14

YUP...I had a cabrio which is a way smaller car, and had both in the back.
