So we just got a 2nd "big girl" carseat because I put the Britax in DH's SUV and it is a beotch to get those big seats in and out! OMG.

I ended up getting a Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL for my car because they are more narrow, I would like to be able to use my backseat again, haha

Anyway I have "heard" that in some vehicles it's okay for the carseat to touch the back of the front seat. How do I find out if that is true for my vehicle and this seat.

I feel like my question is too long and specific for Google, lol

I have a BMW 328i
I linked the seat page too just in case it's right in front of my face and i'm too stupid to see it, lol

Mmmm... hope the carseat board helps. Is it in the middle seat and still touching the front seat?

I thought it was always ok for the seat to touch as long as the carseat is installed correctly in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong so interested to hear an answer.

No, it's not in the middle---from what I have read it's not supposed to (in my car at least) since the seats have airbags in them as well. In some vehicles it's okay.
