The two main categories of baby and infant car seats are "rear-facing" and "front-facing". Rear facing seats attach to a seat belt at the bottom of the seat, underneath where the baby's feet would be. Front facing seats attach to a seat belt under where the baby's head would be.
The three types of child restraint systems are rear-facing car seats, forward-facing car seats, and booster seats. Rear-facing seats are designed for infants and young toddlers, forward-facing seats are for older toddlers and young children, and booster seats are for older children who have outgrown forward-facing seats but are still too small for the vehicle's seat belt system.

Hi, I have TWO children and I have had TWO pickup trucks.... So, ANY full size pickup with four doors will easily hold two forward facing car seats. Mid-size and smaller pickups with four doors MAY hold two seats but a trial fit would be required to be sure. Pickups with the smaller rear doors (they are about 2/3 the size of a regular rear door) and fold up jump seat will not hold two rear facing car seats. I have a DODGE 2500 MegaCab. This pickup will easily hold three forward facing car seats. Mike
There are several wonderful brands of rear facing car seat. Graco is a big brand name with great ratings for rear facing car seats. You can find all of the good brands at Walmart and Toys R Us.
This would depend on the age of your child. All children should ride rear-facing in back seats until they are 2 years of age or until they reach the height and weight limit of their child restraints. When children reach the height and weight limits of their infant seats, they should be moved to convertible seats, but should continue to ride rear-facing for as long as possible. However, when your child reaches the rear-facing height and weight limit of their child restraint, they should be turned forward-facing in a convertible or another forward-facing child restraint.
Arkansas law requires children under 2 years old or weighing less than 20 pounds to be secured in a rear-facing car seat. It is recommended to keep children in a rear-facing seat for as long as possible for their safety.
The current pediatric recommendations for car seats include using rear-facing seats for infants and toddlers until at least age 2, using forward-facing seats with harnesses for older children, and transitioning to booster seats when children outgrow their forward-facing seats. It is important to follow the specific height and weight guidelines provided by the car seat manufacturer and to always use the seat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Infant car seats are designed for newborns and can only be used rear-facing. They are portable and have a smaller weight limit. Convertible car seats can be used rear-facing for infants and then converted to forward-facing for older children. Parents should consider their child's age, weight, and height, as well as the car seat's safety features and installation requirements when choosing between the two options.
One can buy a rear facing car seat from retail stores like Target, Wall Mart, and Super Store. One can also purchase a rear facing car seat from online sites like eBay and Amazon.

Yes, They made regular a 7 seat regular bus, with forward facing seats (I have one) and version that has two rear facing "jump" seats. I think that one also came with a table. The regular bus (like mine) has a rear seat that folds down into a bed.
