Rearfacing seats with 30lb weight limit.

[Corynn]

I've been plowing through my options for a three accross scenario, two radian ff side and middle install no problem. So now I have the passenger side rear face to deal with. So far this is what I've come up with.

Evenflo triumph much to wide but a good fit front to back.
Radian would fit width wise but is much to large front to back.
Graco Snugride do-able but I am worried about the lower weight limit.
SS1 I don't think an install with the base is possible.
I have yet to try a roundabout, it may puzzle a bit better but I'm guessing it will be too large.

What am I missing? That is on the smaller side of course?

The Scenera might work- it's reported to be relatively narrow and short.

I'm pretty sure someone has done a Marathon (same deal with the Roundabout) and 2 Radians. The Radian is low down and the Marathon/Roundabout is higher up, so they puzzle well together. But that might be Radian, Marathon/Roundabout, Radian

What vehicle is this? How old is the RF child?

In my Accord I got a FF MA (pass), FF Radian (middle) and a RF SS1 (dirvers). I got a picture but it isn't great, the seats are all straight it is just the angle I took the picture.

Is that safeseat intalled behind the Radian?? My problem is that the wings of the SS1 base aren't puzzling well into the side. I wonder if I install the outboard SS1 first if I can still get a good centre install with the radian, It looks good in your photo. If I wasn't already 36 weeks and as big as a house I'm sure this would be much easier!:rolleyes:

The SS1 is installed beside the Radian. I installed the Radian and then the SS1 and then the MA on the other side. The SS1 was a breeze (I just pushed it down with my hand and then tightened) to install and I had no problems fitting it in beside the Radian.

I know how you feel about being as big as a house :rolleyes: I was as big at 30 weeks as I was when I was 38 weeks the first time. I so can't wait for May! This picture was taken just for the fun of it and the SS1 isn't even in there anymore. I just put the MA in today but it will be coming out right away. It is so much easier to get ds in when his is the only seat in there unless I need the extra one.

What are you trying to do 3 across?

[Corynn]

Well this is my third, and my mat clothes no longer even fit! Yes I'm trying to get three across and honestly I thought I was home free when I got that centre radian installed, when the snugride seemed to fit I was ecstatic! Call it hormones but this carseat thing is driving me round the bend! I suppose it doesn't help when DH curses me up and down each time he has to play with an install. And he just doesn't give it his best shot KWIM? I just wish this belly would get out of the way and I know I could do it! (at least I hope.)

Anyway my options a getting as few as my weeks left (DS1 came at 37 weeks!)
And I'm getting more than a little frusrated!:o
