    Has anyone experienced any difficulty with carseats and the prius c? My hubby and I have a 2012 and a Britax B-safe infant carseat and found that the when we installed the base, it was extremely loose. At this time, we've opted using the prius c at all with the baby. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an infant car seat that fits securely and snug? Thank you!

    I have a Britax Chaperone car seat and the base attachment is essentially the same. Basically what the police station or fire station will do is stick their knee into the base while tightening the strap as hard as they can. It compresses the cushioning of the seat a little bit but gets really tight on the brackets.

    Yup, I sit on it when I tighten the straps. When I get up, they are snug.
