If you have the Graco MySize/Graco Size4Me

How much room does it take up rfing?

I'm waiting for the BRU trade in event to buy mine, and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to arrange carseats in a few months. I want the Size4Me so I can keep my 2.5 yo rfing as long as possible. I also have a Safety 1st OnBoard Air for DD3, and DD1 is in a Recaro ProBooster.

I'm trying to puzzle these seats into our minivan. We have two captain seats in the second row and a bench in the 3rd row.

DD2 is currently rfing in a First Years TrueFit. She's behind the passenger seat. I can fit there barely (I'm 5'4"), but DH doesn't fit at all. I'm wondering if the Size4Me takes up less room rfing than the TrueFit. I assume the OnBoard Air will take up the most space since it's an infant seat, but we haven't tried it yet either.

Thoughts? (If my rambling made any sense that is...) We could put two kids in back and take out a captain seat, but that eliminates pretty much all of our cargo space.

I'm not sure how the size 4 me compares size wise to the true fit but it is a pretty narrow seat. We actually just returned ours because it was nearly impossible to get tight while RF. Since the tightening strap was right against the seat, you basically have to pull up which essentially locks the tightening mechanism. You can kind of do it if you pull out, then up but it is really hard. I used it for a week and my wrist is seriously hurting. We liked everything else about the seat though.

I have both seats, but I am not positive which takes up more room. Obviously, the S4M/MS70 takes up a bit of room with the headrest fully extended. I have pics in a fb album. PM me if you want to see them. I don't want to post them here, since they have my kids in them. :)

I want to say that the True Fit can sit more upright taking up less room.
