3 Marathons in a Toyota Camry?

I won't have access to my car on Wednesday, but will have access to a camry. I was thinking of trying to get my three Britax Marathon seats to fit across the backseat. Does anyone know if I have any chance of being successful? If I know there might be a chance of success, I will keep trying if I reach any road blocks!

My oldest two kids are forward facing and my youngest is still rear facing. However, if just for the day I could have two rear facing kids (my youngest two) OR I could have my youngest be forward facing since she does meet the minimum requirements and I'd be comfortable putting her forward for just one day.

Any idea if I can find some success with those configurations to get three marathons across in a camry? :confused:

Thanks!

What year Camry? My DH used to have a 1995 and I don't think it would have been possible but I can't say I ever tried. His mom has a newer one, 2003 or 2004, I would guess. I put a Marathon and a Roundabout side by side in there easily, so I would hazard a guess that 3 Marathons would fit, but I am not certain.

Thanks for the information. :)

It's a 2007.

I really don't know if that will work. If you wanted to try I would suggested the rear-facing one in the middle and two forward facing ones outboard. I was able to do that in the back seat of my sienna.

Unlikely. At least, it was impossible in my 03 Camry. I couldn't get 2 MAs side by side in any configuration. It will probably depend on whether it has the annoying foam bolsters on the outboard edge of the vehicle seats, that is what made it impossible in my vehicle.
When you try, make sure to install using seatbelts, and push the outboard MAs as far over as possible while keeping them between the seatbelt attachment points. Also, make sure that the seats are independently secure. So start with the middle seat and once you get the two outboard seats installed, remove the middle one to make sure the two outboard ones are still tightly installed.
Good luck!
