Hi! First time poster here
I am newly pregnant and trying to plan ahead for the possibility of 3 carseats in my little old 96 Subaru Impreza Outback. I'm asking as a shot in the dark if anyone has any experience. I know it's an old car but it's worth a shot, right?
By the time the baby comes in July-ish,
DD will be 5. She is currently a waif of a kid, 32 pounds, 40 inches. Still fits her Cosco Scenera.
DS will be 2.5. He is 25 pounds, 34 inches. He's also in a Cosco Scenera.
We used to use a Graco Snugride (RF obv) and the Cosco Scenera FF and they barely fit together -- little tilt. As far as I remember, they did NOT fit both RF unless they were both outboard, then my husband couldn't drive
The Cosco Sceneras fit RF/FF as a pair next to each other, but not RF/RF or FF/FF next to one another, without tilt/not solid fit.
I'm wondering what you guys think, try a new narrower infant seat? Upgrade daughter to some kind of a booster even though she's shrimp-y? Upgrade all seats to something? I'm open to all your ideas! (except buy a new car, lol, we're working on that as fast as we can. I hope we'll avoid this problem completely...but....)
Thanks in advance!
