    How size of your truck is compared to Lada Granta? Because my grandparents drove it with driver + 3 adults + child me + stuff including garbage from dacha.

      Well, for one, I don’t have a truck. Too expensive.

      Second, child care seats in North America were revised recently to be larger so that they can protect children better.

      To put it in context, putting a child seat in my 2013 Jetta makes it so that the front passenger can barely fit. Anyone over 5’ 6" has to srunch their legs to fit.

        The Jetta claim is weird because I fit a 6’ adult comfortably in the passenger seat of my GTI with the car seat in the back.

        How big is your car seat?

          I don’t know the exact dimensions, but it’s big enough that I actually had to get rid of my 2015 golf because the front passenger seat became unusable. And I’m not exaggerating. The car seat barely fit with the front seat pushed all the way forward and leaned forward past vertical.

          I know this is a common complaint with parents in the past few years in Canada. I don’t know if child car seat regulations are different at all in the US. I don’t think they are, I’m just not sure.

            You’ve convinced me, oversized pickup trucks surely should stay around to help fit these oversized car seats.
