3-Across Pictures and Question

I just installed carseats for my girls in my sister's car. She frequently has my girls in her car. With the turbobooster and 2 infant seats, I could get them to overlap one another and fit very well 3-across. But now that they are no longer in their infant seats, it was a little tricky getting the sceneras and the turbobooster in there. The carseats are rock solid! I installed the driver's side carseat first, then removed it and installed the center carseat, then put the driver's side carseat back in. Then I put the turbobooster in. I'm confident the install on the carseats is fine, I'm just not sure if it is okay having the turbobooster so close to the edge of the seat. Despite the way it looks in the pictures, it, nor the driver's side carseat, do NOT touch the door. There's about an inch between the seats and the doors. How does it look? The seatbelt fits my DD perfectly, so being near the edge did not alter that.

Also, do you think if I got a radian 80 that I could fit it in place of the turbobooster? I really do not feel comfortable having DD in a booster seat, but her marathon won't fit along with the sceneras. How wide is the radian 80 compared to the turbobooster?

Oh, and I know about the sunshades. I bought those ones you cut and stick to the window to replace them.





Ignore the towel under the carseat. I removed it after taking these pictures and re-installed it without it. I realized that I didn't need it to get the correct angle.


Driver's side


Passenger side


The carseat is about 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the seat

Well they look good to me. As far as the Radian, it should fit along side the Scenaras. I have been able to fit 2 RF Mas and a FF Radian in the back of my focus, so I think you would be able to fit them as well. The only thing I would recommend it you tried that, would be to put the RF seats outboard and the Radian in the center. The seats puzzle together really well this way. HTH!

Looks good to me
I am pretty sure you could fit a radian right there...,it just the question of would you get a good install with the seatbelt...

There is a thread though of good installs http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=18235

Hopefully that will help

The Radian is 14" wide across the bum/hip area (outside measurement) and 17" wide across the shoulder area (widest outside measurement).

If you can get a good seatbelt install, it should fit well where the TB currently is.

Looks good! Remember, the Radian 80 is the same shell as the Radian 65.

Looks good, and I love the painting on the baby's 'helmet'. If I had known back when oldest dd was a baby, we would've been doing that too. Now she just has a funny-looking head.

What cute lil babies!!
What is the helmet for?
I think the Radian would fit fine in place of the booster, prob right around the same size.

Thanks ladies!!!

I think I will be getting the Radian then! Once I check that thread to see if it fits in my sister's car of-course...

I will be putting the radian in the middle if I can. I know it would be easier that way, I just couldn't do it with the TB because the middle seatbelt is a lap only belt.

Sydney's helmet is to shape her head. It was horribly mis-shaped when she was born because Riley was "squishing" her in my womb. Her head was pretty much all to one side. She's had the helmet on for 3 months, and actually just got it off yesterday They said it can't do any more correction so she doesn't need it. Her head isn't perfect, but it's SOOO much better than it was!

Oh, what SWEET babies!!

Oh wow, I had no idea that could happen. I am so glad she is all done with the helmet I am sure that makes you happy.
