3 across in a midsize sedan

Unregistered · Jan 21, 2007

i need to rent a car this summer and i'd like to find the smallest class (specific examples from personal experience would be appreciated) that can fit:
a britax roundabout (forward facing), a graco turbo booster, and an infant seat with or without base (i haven't purchased it yet, but i'm thinking about the graco snugride. suggestions also appreciated.).
would a car like the mazda 6 (or 626) fit all three? anyone know which cars (personal experience, please) will fit all three? i'm not interested in minivans, suvs, or luxury cars. for that matter, i'm not sure whether fullsize is available where i live.
tia.

We rented a ford focus this fall when visiting family. While we did not need 3 across since we only have 2, we did transport my niece and ended up with 3 across.

We had a radian ffing, safeseat with base and a graco cargo installed 3 across. It took a lot of work, but they were all independently installed. I was unable to fit the turbo in the space the cargo was in. I tried (not that hard since my niece really needed the 5 point) and was unable to fit it in the center of the safeseat and radian. I might have been able to do it if I had tried a bit harder.

Taking the base off the infant seat really makes it easier to get the 3 across.

We rented in the compact class, so if you go up a class, you will most likely have more options.
