RX-8 "Fit" Issue

Guest
I have two boys, 5 and 8 (45 and 55 lbs), and own a Mazda RX-8 as well as the obligatory minivan.

The older boy is now using a no-back booster and the younger one is getting to that point too, although he is still using a combo seat.

The RX-8 has a backseat with LATCH and seemingly enough space, but the no-back Graco doesn't fit properly because its width exceeds the space between the molded padding in the rear seats. (The combo fits fine but presents a space issue.)

I know this is a common issue and the best solution is to try a seat out, but I am wondering if anyone is aware of a booster with a narrower base.

I'm not sure I understand the issue you're describing, so it may not really be an issue (see a tech in person for assistance), but if you *do* need a narrower booster, try the Britax Parkway. It's a high backed booster (with side impact protection!), but it fits extremely well in 3-across situations.
