3 across in a ford flex?

Unregistered · Feb 22, 2010

We'll be renting a Flex in the near future to make a short road trip.
We'd like to get 3 across if possible so that our older daughter can sit between the 2 babies to keep them occupied. Obviously if this isn't going to work then we won't do it.
our seats are a Turbobooster, Radian XT(rf'ing), and either a True fit(rf'ing), or a Safe seat. The 3rd seat depends on whether or not our friends baby has come along yet as she'll be using our safe seat.

Thanks!

I don't think there would be a problem doing turbobooster, radian, and safeseat. That bench is pretty big. I don't think the true fit would fit in a three across there, but I could be wrong. Rear facing radians fit beautifully in that second row... it's drool worthy!

Just a reminder to make sure that you confirm that you are getting a 7 passenger Flex if you want to do the three across.
I know phone agents for car rental companies are not always knowledgeable about the cars that are at the location, so it is best to call the actual location you will be renting from.
The base model is usually is what is used for rental cars and the extra seat is considered an option.

I have a 6 passenger so really can't confirm if that seat combo works for a three across but it is very wide and the second row has plenty of space for a RF car seat.
