We had a britax and now have a Graco size4me 65 and they both fit fine in my car. The rear facing one my wife had to sit behind me but with the graco one she has room to sit up front. Granted she's 5'3".
I'm an Ironworker apprentice so I do a lot of welding, only been welding for a little over a year but I love it. Works slow at the mill right now so we have just been making random stuff. Just a few of the things I've made, railroad spike knives and some crosses for my wife.
