Removable car seat?
I have a small car (Toyota Yaris) that I use to transport people and stuff like bicycles, big boxes, and so forth.
I'm expecting a new grandchild and I would like to buy a car seat that I can remove completely so I can fold down the back seats and fill up with cargo.
Any suggestions?

Most car seats seem pretty similar these days. The infant ones can usually be installed with the seatbelt or with a base that stays in your car, and are designed to be removed every time so they can also be used with a stroller base. The convertible ones, some of which are designed to accommodate infants as well, are generally more bulky and harder to install and remove. One of the easiest convertible carseats to install, and one of the safest, is the Nuna Rava, which also happens to be smaller and thus fits in most cars. Uppababy is coming out with it's first convertible car seat this summer, and it looks really similar to the Rava. We have the Rava in a Toyota Pruis behind the passenger seat, and my husband uninstalls it every time his tall friends ride in the car, and it's not a big deal to uninstall and reinstall it. If you want professional help, you could go to Tot Tank in Alameda and they will help you fit a seat for your particular car and needs, and the staff know all the details about everything they sell.
Pretty much all car seats are removable. Just look for one at any baby store or big box store (target etc) and find one in your budget.
