Nauti in 3 across?

[MaggieQ]

I have a 2001 focus sedan. I didn't see any in the 3 across thres with small cars. Any one have experience with the GN in a 3 across in a tiny car?? I have an RN 80, Touriva, and an AO, The RN and Touriva are really narrow seats but I can't get it to work:(. I'm pretty sure they would all fit if my RN was FF, but My nephew is only 29 ish pounds and 2.75 yrs...oh yeah both convertibles are RF. Maybe I just need to try harder.

I can fit a FF Radian, RF Radian, Nautilus in my Pontiac G6. It was tight, but I could still shut my doors easily :p

How often do you need three across? I'd be tempted to try FF Radian, RF AO, Nautilus. The AO is really wide FF, but I've had luck a couple times with three across when it is RF.

I couldn't get a 3-across with the GN in my truck, Maggie, so good luck! I found the armrests to be too big. I've seen them puzzled nicely with the RN though, so maybe put it outboard, the RN in the middle, and one of the other seats on the other side ?

I've found the tribute to be very thin. You could likely do rfing tibute, ffing radian, and rfing touriva. Never mind. The tribute has a 30 pound rfing limit. Maybe the scenera instead?

I'm pretty sure that Scatterbunny has gotten a 3-across in a Focus, but not with the seats you have. :o She had a Nautilus, a Starriser booster in the middle (backless, but I'm pretty sure it would fit with the back), and a RF Scenera.

I haven't attempted a 3-across yet myself. (I also have a Focus.)

My god son stays with me a lot. He usually just sits in the HBTB but he is very thin and I dont like the way he fits in it. He is just 6, 35 lbs, 16 in torso(really leggy). he is too tall for every other seat I have...:thumbsdown:

I don't think I was actually able to get the Nautilus in three-across yet. :confused: Gah, I really need to remember to write all the combinations down that I try. :rolleyes: What ended up working was the Futura (17 inches wide at the widest point), RF Scenera, and Britax Bodyguard (slightly narrower at the base than the Britax Parkway, but wider than the FPSV booster). It also worked with the RF Evenflo Tribute in place of the Scenera, but using the Scenera made it easier to buckle the booster, because of the Scenera's base (the Tribute is more boxy and solid at the base).

I will have my FPSV booster (highback) by Monday, according to the tracking information, and Andie has already promised to come play with carseats (her Nautilus, Tribute, and Scenera). I also have a (crashed) TurboBooster and Alpha Omega I can play with, but I don't have high hopes that they will work in a three-across in the Focus.

I am dying to get my hands on a Radian to play with. Based on how the Scenera worked, I am convinced I could use a RF Radian and end up with enough room to use the Nautilus in place of the Futura and gain a little bit more room to buckle the booster.

I could get RF RN, Nautilus, RF RN in the 3rd row of our Montana. (48" seat width)
I didn't try it with the Radians FF though... I'll try it later if you want.

Jenny, I have the Radian back now, if you want to use it.

[scatterbunny]

Definitely! Maybe Andie and I can make a trip over there together (so I'll have her Nauti and Scenera).

[BW1426]

Maybe I missed it, but what vehicle and year are we talking about?

Sounds like fun! :love:

FWIW, in my Mazda Protege I get a 3 across install using a MA, RN, and GN.

2001 Ford Focus sedan per the OP. ;)

Hmmm.. maybe I need another radian... I pretty sure mine is 47" across.

I just got 3 across with 2 RNs and a GN in a kia spectra. It was tight but doable.
