  2. You probably want to look for cars/suvs/vans with 2 rows. Britax doesn't make particularly narrow car seats, for good reason. As kids get bigger, narrow car seats aren't big enough for the kids!

    Sunshine Kids makes the narrowest car seat around: Sunshine Kids Radian65/Radian80. Both are the exact same seat, just one was tested to 65lbs, and the other to 80lbs.

    Whether the 3 seats you have will fit depends upon the vehicle and the third seat. Puzzling can help them fit - putting different brand seats facing different directions next to each other. Like, one Britax outboard, another brand in the middle facing a different direction, and the other Britax, again, back the other direction on the other side. But whether that will work depends upon which way your kids are facing. Remember that rear facing is safest until at least 2 years old.  A narrow booster, like Fisher Price Safey Voyage booster should fit between 2 marathons. If you have a Britax Regent among those seats, you're not likely at all to get 3 across in anything!!

    A great car to check out - Mazda5. Its a car but it has THREE rows of seats - seats 6, 2 in each row. Doors open like a minivan's for easy access to rear row. ILOVE that car. :)

  3. One of our associates who is a young dad with three children, including two toddlers, said  you probably can put three car seats in the back of most compact crossovers in addition to larger midsize sedans. He was able to squeeze three of these seats into of a  5-passenger Saturn Vue, for example. If you are interested in more specs, quality ratings, reviews and photos of cars and some 20 crossovers that likely will fit three child car seats, as well as articles on child safety seats and  and car-related blogs, please visit JDPower.com.

  4. something with 7 seats like a vauxhall zafira
