CarSeatFit Vehicle Configurator
A fitment and configuration web app that helps parents accurately predict which car seats will fit in their exact vehicle (trim + seating layout) with realistic constraints like 3rd-row access, seatbelt vs LATCH, and side-by-side configurations. It outputs a ranked shortlist with install notes, space impact, and “family growth” scenarios (e.g., infant + convertible + booster) before they buy.

Target customer
Parents planning 2+ kids, caregivers with 3-row vehicles, and baby-gear retailers who want to reduce returns and improve customer confidence.
Problem-solution fit
The user’s pain comes from discovering after purchase that a premium seat is impractical in a 3-row, multi-kid setup; most product pages don’t translate dimensions into real-world vehicle constraints. This product reduces costly mistakes by converting vehicle + seat specs into actionable configurations and compatibility warnings (especially for 3rd-row loading and multi-seat layouts).
