So, if a scenera fits, a Radian doesn't and a marathon doesn't what else will?

It's kind of like a puzzle LOL! Help me figure it out.

Marathon doesn't fit rear facing- too big width wise, and it touches the front seat.

Radian doesn't fit rear facing because it's too long.
The scenera fits both width wise and front to back, BUT it's only at a 30 degree angle.

What are the options? LOL!
I'm thinking a coccoro.

What vehicle are you trying to fit this seat in, and in what position? What is the age of the child? Are there any other issues - 3 across, tall driver/passenger, etc.?

This isn't an issue at the moment, but will be in about a year LOL!
2008 Subaru Tribeca
3rd row IS available, but not easily accessed:rolleyes:
Yes, it has to be 3 across (or we have to use the third row and give up cargo space).

DS will be 7, out of his Radian and probably in a Parkway.
DD will be almost 5 and still in her Radian.
The newbie will be almost 1 and outgrowing the keyfit.

Right now, I can get 2 RNXT FF and the scenera RFing (scenera is being used by a child car kiddo). I also know I can get the keyfit in for the newbie when she arrives.
The problem arises when DS outgrows his Radian and the newbie outgrows the keyfit (and this will probably happen about the same time, so I'm starting to save up now, which is why I'm trying to figure out my options now)
I'd love to pass the Radian down to the newbie (RFing) and put the parkway in the center for DS, but the RN takes up too much front to back space. Unfortunately, it's going to have to be a FF only seat in this car. :(
Something I haven't tried is the marathon RFing center, but it will expire by the time she could use it.
I'm considering the myride center as well, since I could actually play with it and see if it works or not. I was just hoping to put the kid in the booster in the center but it may not be possible. My options locally are pretty pathetic. I've got Wal-mart, Target and a boutique that carries combi products.

ETA: I make tiny kids, so a coccoro would probably get the newbie RFing to about 3 YO.
