Best SUV for car seats - need to fit two rear-facing seats
Expecting second child and need to upgrade from compact sedan to fit two rear-facing car seats without front passengers eating the dashboard. Any tall parents have recommendations? I'm 6'2" so front legroom matters.

I'm 6'1" with two rear-facing seats in a CR-V. Key metric is rear legroom, and CR-V has class-leading space here. Rear doors open nearly 90 degrees for easier car seat loading. Other good options: Subaru Outback (surprisingly spacious rear) and VW Atlas if you want third row.
Pro tip: bring car seats to the test drive. Install both rear-facing then get in driver's seat. Don't assume it fits just because specs look good. Some SUVs with great rear legroom on paper have thick front seatbacks that eat space for rear-facing seats.
