Re: Car seat questions
I have a 2006 tacoma access cab and have had a terrible experience with car seats in general in that truck (which is why I came to this site). After having my son, the person at the hospital barely let me leave b/c he did not feel comfortable with the install in the access cab. For the first year, there was only room for my son and I in the car (unless you wanted to sit behind the drivers side) because the passenger seat had to be slid all the way up. When I've finally moved him forward facing, the car seat does not feel secure even with the latch system (it slides). Also, when my son falls asleep while I drive, his head falls forward b/c of the 45 degree angle of the seats. I've taken to tying his head back with my sweatshirt, which actually takes an amusing picture (he looks like mini-Rocky). It's a bear on long car rides, b/c he never gets good sleep and is very cranky. I am almost at the point where I trade this in, but I love my truck! Does anyone have a carseat reccommendation that allows the child to ride comfortable and stable in the back? I would NOT reccommend buying an access cab if you are expecting or have kids and I feel it is bad practice for Toyota to market this model that way. When I called them, they had no suggestions or advice for me and said it was a problem for the dealer. What the heck!?! Any help?
