Default Infant Car Seat (Rear Facing)

Can anyone here share their experiences and reccomendations for infant car seats for the S4 (I have '05 S4 Cab, little less space but still close). I tried a couple in the back at the store and found that the Snugfit made the front passenger seat sit way too forward. Found that the Combi Connection had the best fit, among our favorites, in terms of leaving space for front passenger, but have seen some safety issues about it. Also will be looking into Britax Companion. I need to find a good one that will also not make it necessary to push up the front passenger seat too far forward. Please share.

So what have you found to be good product but take up little rear-to-front space?

Thanks much!

Default We have used the Britax Roundabout and had great success.

Its been in a sedan though. Once the graduate to the forward facing booster style the recaro is the way to go. Have one and will be buying a second soon.

Default I'll get the name when I go home, but I found the base/carrier system the best....

Since the child is generally in my wife's car, I leave the base attached because it takes up virtually no space. Even with the carrier mounted, the seat can almost fully go back.

#2 on the way this week for me....we'll see how this works with 2 seats back there now.

Default I use the roundabout in my S4 also, we have the Britax Marathon in the Touareg...

It was just a little too big for the backseat of the S so we went with the roundabout and have nothing but great things to say about it.
