Car seat Qs for small cars

I have a Honda Civic. I'm looking for a convertible car seat for DD. I need to find a narrow seat. I've searched LIF and so far, everyone has been raving about the Graco Comfortsport, but I can't find it in stores Chat Icon

1. What car seat do you have?

2. Where is it placed?

3. Can you fit anyone else in the car along with the seat?

We have 2 car seats already- for DH and 1 spare. We have an alpha omega elite and an evenflo of some sort. We had no idea that finding one for my car would be so difficult.

Thanks!

We got the Britax Roundabout for DH's car, he has a mazda3 hatchback and it fits great!

We actually brought it up to NY this week and used it in my mom's honda civic and it fits perfectly in there too... we placed it on the passenger side and the front passenger seat has tons of room in the front. We fit 4 people in the car with the car seat.

I have the Evenflo Symphony 65 (as does my DH who has a mitsubishi lancer). Its smaller than the Brtiax and coverts to a booster seat too. We have it on our passanger sides and someone can always fit into the backseat driver side of our car. We tried the middle position with the infant seat and it was always coming loose and was unsteady...it wasn't any safer in the middle position because of that. So, we moved the seats to the passanger side so we could use the latch system and our seats are both safe and secure.
