My husband and i have a 2006 Ford Focus ZX4. there is no room in the back at all. At the moment i have a Cosco Touriva made in 2006 (bought it may 2006) and a Graco Nautilus 3-1 that i bought last November 2008. My daughter turned 5 years old today but she is tiny for her age. around 39 inches tall and i think 35 lbs and shes the one who uses the Graco. My youngest is 3 years and 3 months old. I think around 37 inches or so and 25lbs i think and uses the cosco one. Im expecting a third child due April 1, 2010 and i was told to buy the Sunshine kids radian 65 which is cheaper then the 80 and that is what i am buying at the end no matter what. My problems are, it does not fit in a ford focus like other woman have told me on this site. i downloaded the pdf file and printed out the measurements right off sunshine kids website. its 17 inches across (Outside Width) and outside depth is 16 inches. the width is killing me because it does not fit in the middle of the back seat at all. I took out a measurement tape and when i measured it, it went past both car seats, and i thought it was supposed to be the thinnest and slimmest LOL it over laps both seat. the outside depth is fine its just the width part. My daughters Graco is freaking massive. I never thought about it until i got pregnant. Its huge, way too huge for any sedan.
My husband hates it but i spent alot of money on it. What are we supposed to do? The cosco one is cheap to me. it doesnt look like it was protect my daughter at all. But she is to me underwear for any booster or other seat.
My other question i have isnt a newborn safest in the middle of the back seat? if not is it okay to put the radian 65 on either side of the door? and if all 3 car seats still dont fit side by side with out it being lop sided what other car seats should i be buying for both my older children?
