Baby Seat in an Access Cab?

Okay, no, I don't have a kid, nor is one on the way. But just in case...

Anyone put a rear-facing Child Seat in an Access Cab and how did you do it? Front facing?

I see that the LATCH connectors are behind the front passenger seat, would the seat have to go there or will it fit behind the front passenger?

Check out your owner's manual, there is a lot of info on how to install chaild seats.
I don't have one yet :) I'm still researching - if I can get away with an Access Cab I think I will (instead of DC), but I will have to have the ability to carry a baby seat and mom up front - fortunately my potential mom is 5'3".

If you have any friends with babies or kids ask them to go to the dealer with you (with their baby seat and/or child seat) and let the salesperson put it in the rear of the access cab and in the rear of the Dcab.

Just a warning....those infant carriers are large and the rear facing child seat in my DC hits the back of the front passenger seat (in the position my wife sits in the front and she is 5'5"). I was in the same delema you are in.

I have a 7-month-old daughter, and it is a tight squeeze to fit a rear-facing child seat in the DOUBLE CAB. I really don't see how it could be done in an access cab. I don't think there would be enough room between the seats - or - enough rear seat depth to sit the car seat on. The best positions for me are in the middle of the back seat, or on the passenger side rear seat with the front passenger seat folded down. In the latter position, my wife sits behind me with the baby(usually in the middle).

This first pic is of the front seat in the furthest back position with the child seat.

This is of the front seat mover all the way forward.

This is a pic of the seat depth needed for the child seat. This is a double cab.

Hope this helps.
