HELP....what do you think

[charlie_the_tuna]

hey cy, i too like the extended cab, but i think the way to go would be a 4 door pickup.
i cant imagine its going to be easy to get a baby into a car seat in the back of that little cab.

i'm kinda looking for the 4 door because the 2 stooges need some room back there and they each want their own door.

cant afford a 4 door, and i like the look of the extended cab better but it is going to be difficult to to get that dam car seat in there

Cy, You will not fit a car seat in that truck. If I were you I would tell the wifey that you need a bigger truck because of the car seat. Its the perfect reason for a bigger, safer vehicle.

BR.....would love to have that one, but dont have the cash for it till I sell this dam JEEP.

Mulv....the child seat will spend most of the time in the minivan, but on rare occasions i might need to take the kid with me.

I already have a bigger safer truck.



but i have to get rid of it cause the payments and gas is killing me. I got laid off 1 day (8 hours) a week, and money is tight. (dam housing market)

the truck is getting traded in on a used minivan, and want to get some equity out of the jeep to put in the bank. then buy a used truck with cash and still have some left to leave in the bank.

That is the goal anyway.

So on the rare occasion can i put the child seat sideways in the back of the tacoma?????

Cy, I feel your pain about the Ram. I too have the Hemi and a payment and its getting ridiculous to put $100 a week in gas alone into the truck.

As far as the sideways facing carseat. I would go to your local firehouse and ask their opinion or if you have one yet your Pediatrician. The firehouses in Phila. have at least one firefighter who is trained in proper child seat installation and can give you advice to insure proper fit. Your area may have a similar set up. Also your pediatrician will know the safest way to transport the baby in a small truck. It may be in the front seat with the airbag off, if equipped.
