3 in Honda Accord? Anyone help?

[mykidsmylife]

My sis has a 2008 Honda Accord 4-door. She has her son in a FPSVD rf. Seth will be in the BLVD rf. Johnathon will either be in the Regent (if we get it in time) or the Apex 65. Is it possible for all 3 car seats to fit in the back seat?

Have you checked the three across thread (http://car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=33226)?

I don't want to flat out say no, not with those seats, but probably not. I know Jewels has made it work with two radians and a MA (all ff) and it was a pretty tight squeeze with the shell of the MA overlapping the Radians.

Here's my similarly sized back seat with two Britax convertibles (rf RA, 28 lb 3 yo in a fat coat, ff MA). There's no way a Regent, Apex or even Radian would fit there.

Great... I might have to buy a booster for Johnathon to use for this trip. Ugh! We will see though.

If anyone else knows or has advice that would be great!

i've tried two MA on the sides and radian in the middle and they work fine. the blvd is the same size as the MA. tho all 3 were FF. what's PFSVD?

PFSVD? I think you've mixed up the acronym for the FPSVD, which is the discontinued Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe (http://www.albeebaby.com/fiprsavodeco1.html) convertible, made by Britax from approx. early 2006 until last year, and very similar in size to the Britax Marathon/Decathlon. :)

sorry... i registered. i have a 2002 accord. i tried the combo at the right start store b/c they have radians there. the MA will fit rear facing (or forward) with the radian80 in the middle and another MA on the side. i put the radian80 in the middle b/c i figure my oldest would be able to buckle himself in. i didn't buckle seatbelt in but the spacing seems ok tho you do have to use the seatbelt and move the MA way close to the side. i don't know how big the apex 65 would be.

The 2002 and 2008 Accords are vastly different, though.

My mom has a 2003 (or is it 2004? I can't remember right now) Accord and I can fit all kinds of three-across groupings in there. My friend has a 2008 Accord and cannot fit very many three-across groupings.

Hi, Not sure if this is helpful or not, I have an '06 4 dr Accord (never tried 3 car seats across),but w/ a Regent & SS1 in the back there was just enough room to bring down the center cup holder / arm rest console. The best I could get was a Nautilus ob, rf Radian ctr & me as a passenger.

So I just ordered the FPSVB! I am nervous but I know he will be fine!
I will most likely just re-sale it when I am done b/c he will be in the Regent in Germany and with me most times. Also it will exp in 4 years...
Anyways thanks for all your help on this.
