Smaller Carseat?

there *are* some smaller car seats - the Combi Coccoro comes to mind, but it's a bit pricey and its small size means it'd be outgrown sooner than the MyRide, not what you'd want for an occasional use seat for the grandparents! I second what BeckyW said about finding a local CPST to help you with the install - you can also try posting at the forums of http://www.car-seat.org - many of the regulars there are certified techs and I'm confident that at least one of them has experience installing convertible seats in a '95 Windstar. Good luck!

Try calling your local firestation-one that does car seat checks. I bet they can make a rec.

Sunshine Kids Radian car seat is the slimmest they make (highly rated too), but they cost around $200!!!!!

Find a CPST at www.safekids.org to help you install the car seat in their car. The MyRide is an average sized seat and it should fit, you may just need help with some things that are allowed and you don't know. Like for a 2yr old rear facing the seat can be as upright at 30 degrees, not a deep recline.

Maybe go by your local fire station and see if they can install it properly

When we asked the techs for recommendations on a smaller seat, the answers were to go with either the Radian or the Cosco Scenera. It amazed me that the answers were either the $200 seat or the $40 seat. We needed a smaller one and didn't have $200 to spend, so we went with the Cosco Scenera. LOVE it. And it's ratings are great!

Cosco and Graco has some smaller car seats.
