Jeep Wrangler Car Seat

We have recently purchased a infant rear facing car seat.  It fits in my car, and does not fit in DH's jeep wrangler.  He would like to keep the jeep but he will also need to drop the baby off at daycare from time to time.  Does anyone have any recommendations on car seats that will fit in his jeep??

I hope we won't have to buy a cheap used car, but it may have to be an option.  TIA!

This website compares different brands of car seats in different model cars.  Hopefully it has some useful info for you.

Try the Combi Coccaro.  It is a very compact convertible car seat with excellent ratings.

Is it a 2-door or a 4-door Wrangler?

I ask because DH wanted a 2-door Unlimited, but because it seemed so tough to get a seat in and out of the back, he is most likely getting a 4-door.  And if you are having problems with a 4-door, we may reconsider!

have you tried it in the front passenger seat?  just make sure you turn the airbag off and it should be okay.

We have a 4 door Wrangler and had no problem with our infant seat (Graco Snugride 35) and now our Britax Marathon 55. We use it in the middle of the back seat but you do have to use the seat belt install because they don't offer middle latch.
