UPPAbaby Aria rear facing baby seat in 3rd Gen double cab with 5 ft bed?

Hi folks,

We have our first little one on the way, and we already purchased a UPPAbaby Aria car seat a few months back at a good discounted price. We can still return the seat, but would prefer not to since it fits in the stroller that we also already have and like.

I know the tacos aren’t known for their spacious back seats and I’ve seen some threads here discussing baby seats, but was wondering if anyone has specific experience with the fit of this baby seat?

I have a 3rd gen double cab with a 5ft bed. Just mentioning the bed size since I’m not sure if the backseat area size is different for 5/6 ft beds.

Thanks in advance for any useful i nfo!

 

Here is a good TW discussion on rear facing infant seats. Congratulations on your little one on the way.

We have the Uppababy Mesa V2 for our baby and had to put it in the middle seat to fit nicely

 

I had to do this with as well with other brands. Rear facing only fits well in the middle.

You can put it on the side seats but the front seats will have to be so far forward it’s impractical to sit there.

 

Thanks for the inputs!
