I don't put the car seat in the Supra unless its absolutely necessary. He likes to kick the climate control knob and turn off traction control, lol

I have a high back Graco booster (nothing fancy, just a basic seat) and my 5 year old seems to be fine with it in the Supra. He is mature enough to where he is not touching or grabbing the knobs or door. (Let's hope it stays that way!) I did remove the side cup holder on the seat to fit.

No issues with dents in the seat, about a month in of owning. The Supra is my daily so I have the carseat (with the kids weight) in there about 30% of my driving time.

I live near a fire/rescue station with a child seat check program and he said he didn't see any issues with the car seat or how my little one fits.

I was nervous about buying the Supra because I have the little one. It's fine with one kid but I couldn't see myself keeping the car if I had more kids. I selfishly didn't want to give up something I love to be more practical. ??

I got a Graco Slim Fit LX Convertible seat, it has the smallest base I could find (under 12') and the whole seat fits on the bottom part without touching the sides. Also, got this car seat protector from Amazon. Works fine, don't see anything on the seat so far. I also unfasten the seat belt when not using it.

Another option with a slightly bigger base will be a Clek car seat or if you don't plan to use much a portable WAYB Pico.

I used to take my kid in the Supra all the time but he has been very bad lately (terrible 3s). He has pulled the ebrake on me while doing 45mph, opened the door while driving, always messes with the window switch, doesnt stop playing with the menu knob, turns the ac on with his feet.... and so on. Due to that, he is no longer going for any more rides in the Supra. I trust the car, just not him.

Is he still under warranty?

The supra is how I put my daughter to sleep from like 4 - 9 months

blanket in the seat, strap her in. The airbags don't activate because they don't weigh enough

That's barely enough time for him to enjoy! At least you're not embarrassing him with a clown car :)
Maybe a 0-60 would wake him up faster ? I definitely need that these days

Good choice of convertible seat Nuna Rava. I'm in the market for an all-in-one. Thinking about Evenflo Revolve360 Extend.

We just bought Revolve 360’s for both my wife’s Edge and my F150. Absolutely game changing being able to turn the seat to face the door. We’re really impressed with it. Let me know if you have any questions.

That is great! Yes, we're hoping that 360 turn will ease things for sure. I guess it's a little bulkier, but worth it. I actually just ordered it. Missed the labor day discounts, but Honey found a great coupon saved me $129 of "Revolve360 Extend All-in-One Rotational Car Seat with SensorSafe × 1, Moonstone Gray"
Originally intent was Cybex Sirona S, but read more about it, despite being great, it doesn't turn into booster seat and load leg does take up space. Afaik, they're under the same umbrella of "Goodbaby International Holdings Limited" Korean company.

Hope it's easy to clean :)
