i recently joined the board since I am looking to get rid of the Xterra and get a Frontier. But, I was curious if a baby seat will fit in a crew cab and still give the passenger room to sit comfortably. The X had plenty of room so I am assuming the Frontier will be the same. Is that a safe assumption? Does anyone have any pics of a baby seat in one? I tried searching but didnt find anything.

thanks,

i have two in the truck right now. when they're rear facing its a little tight, passenger seat was up a couple of clicks, but still fit just fine.

When I purchased my 2010 CC it looked like the room in the back would be too tight having the child seats in the back, but the room was just fine (1 seat for my 4 yr old & 1 seat for my 1 year old). My wife and I sat still sat comfortably in our seats.

I picked up an '06 CC a few months before my daughter was born. We've had a baby carrier back there from the beginning and now a convertible child seat in there. IMO there's still plenty of room back there. The convertible is wider than the baby carrier so there is less room now, but 2 full sized adults can still sit comfortably back there for a 300+ mile trip, no complaints. By comparison, we also had an '02 Sentra, which now the grandparents own and it has a convertible in the rear, two full sized adults could ride in the back of the Sentra but they are touching the convertible, where in our Fronty they are not w/ a little room to spare.

Same here, 08 Crew Cab, my son's seat fits just fine. My wife has an 06 Accord, and the Frontier has more room back there than her car does. When people come over and we go out, we always take the Frontier, 4 adults and my son in his car seat are comfortable in the Fronty, better than the Accord which is the stereotypical family car.

I have a 2010 CC.. and my little one fits easily, in his Graco Snugride 35, in the middle position. Its rear facing... It will *fit* behind the drivers or passengers side seats, however i am 6'1" and it puts the drivers' seat too far forward. My child seat may be bigger than yours so... When i test drove the truck, i took it to a friends house who happened to own the car seat we were gonna get and tried it out in the truck.. maybe you could go buy one from your favorite kid/baby store and take it to the dealer and try it out???

Hope this helps..
good luck and congratulations!

I had to get rid of my king cab because of the child seat issue. Rear facing absolutely eliminated the front passenger. Forward facing was doable, but the baby and the person in front were uncomfortable.

Now, put the baby seat in the crew cab and the situation is much better. There are only two issues: one, the backrest of the second row is bolt upright. When the baby falls asleep, her head falls forward instead of resting against the headrest. You can place towels behind the lower portion of the car seat to recline it a bit more--which leads me to the second issue. The back of a frontier first row seat sticks out at the top, behind the shoulder area. It's right where her feet are. I've slid my seat up to give some space for now, but I know she's going to drive me nuts kicking the seat when her legs get a little longer.

All things considered though, these are small issues that can be easily dealt with. I'd buy the truck again in a heartbeat.

I went from a 2008 cc to a 2010 X miss the truck somedays but the X is more friendly for the baby and cargo and now I dont mind sitting in the back because the seat is reclined unlike the frontier.

Think alot of this depends on how far back you keep your front seats.
