Can I Fit 3 Cars Seats in My Backseat?

So, I’ve had this question for a while, and since I will be dealing with it sometime later this year, I thought I would let you in on a little secret….YES!!  You probably can!  

You just have to find the narrow type.  Yep, they do make narrow car seats! The best ones, and really only ones marketed for “3 across” that I’ve found are Sunshine Kids Radians.  They have great safety ratings as well.  There are two different seats available. The Radian65  is for a child 5-65 lbs. and the Radian 80 is for a child 5-80 lbs. You can read all the great ratings on Amazon.  Both of the Radians have  4.5 stars!  While these seats are a little pricey, they are definitely cheaper than a new car.

If you’re looking for a narrow infant carrier seat, Baby Cheapskate did some research and recommends the Baby Trend Flex-Loc. If you’d like to read their article on the infant carriers, search for “infant car seat guide” and choose the January 2009 article.

I hope this helps somebody out there!  It really wasn’t that easy for me to find information about fitting 3 car seats in a backseat.  Hopefully I did a little research for some of you out there!
