3 seats across in Suburban Middle seat?

[GenevieveK]

We are expecting our third in November and all three kids will be in the middle seat (rear seat has forward of the bight belts and we cannot install a seat there). DS (3 1/2 then) will be in a Britax Regent we are thinking, DD (1 1/2) is in a Comfort Sport, and then we will have the infant seat (then another Comfort Sport when he outgrows that). Anyone have any experience installing three seats across?? We do not live anywhere near a place to try out the Britax and so we have to order it and I would like to know if it will work before we order it. I'm not incredibly thrilled with the look/reviews from the Cosco Apex which looks like the only alternative to the Regent, but it it doesn't fit I guess that would be our only option (sorry about the rambling...7 month pregnancy brain working here:)).

I can't access it right now, but I have a picture of a Marathon, Husky and Parkway installed three across the 2nd row bench seat of my '93 Suburban. Easy as pie! And I could have used another convertible seat instead of the PW with no problem I'm sure.

Well that makes me feel better! I know that people get three across in cars so I didn't think it would be a problem--thanks!

My sister drives a 2007 Yukon, which I believe is close to the same width. I've helped her with installs and she easily fits a Triumph, FPSVD, and Compass B510. The passenger side outboard can still flip forward for access to the third row when they remove the booster. I don't think you'll have trouble installing the three seats you mentioned.

Thanks! I just ordered the Regent from Elitecarseats and it should be here early next week. I am hoping that I can get the LBP to work in the back seat too (DH tried it once at a store and couldn't get it, but he isn't a mom on a mission so I might have more luck!!). That would solve all of our problems. Thanks again.
