Default Rear facing Child Seat?

Anyone have recommendations on convertible child seats that can be positioned rear facing and fit in the back of the 991?

I'm not sure you'll find this. At least not a rear facing seat that will work.

I put my son in the back of my 991 C4S when he was barely a week old. The rear seat accommodated our Nuna rear facing seat just fine, but the front seat was all the way forward. Nobody is going to be sitting there if that infant seat is in place behind it.

We bought the Nuna because it was one of the most compact rear facing seats on the market. Still, it doesn't work.

There are a few threads on this from what I've been able to find - long story short confirming that rear facing seat not working in any reasonable fashion

Or stay with the rear facing seat theme, but go big (retro or modern):

The rear facing seat struggle is real. Even my 2013 Raptor Supercab is a little cramped with it.

So today my wife did this.



Works much better.

For rear facing convertible, I picked up a Cosco Scenera. Small for the category, safe and surprisingly cheap.
