Answer 2

Contact you local fire department. They normally will know which seats are the safest to use in which vehicle. I hate to say it this way.... because they cut a lot of people out of cars with the jaws of life.

You can also contact the manufacturer of the baby seats to see what they would recommend.

Answer 3

Which Graco seat did you buy? Graco Snugride or Graco SafeSeat 1? The SafeSeat is significantly bigger than the snugride, so if you bought the SafeSeat return it and get the snugride. Keep the handle up - that will give you an extra inch or two of space, but remember that not every infant carrier allows this. Graco does. You could also attempt to install the seat in the middle of the back seat, which might allow the child seat to jut out in between the front seats instead of pressing on the front seat. Just remember you can NOT use LATCH in the middle position, you must install with the seatbelt. (Assuming the vehicle has a middle position.)
