I played around with getting 3 across the back of a windstar for someone, and I was proceeding on a hunch that using a titan in the middle would buy a LOT of room, because even though the shell flares out to about 18 inches, the base and shell portion on the sidees is a mere 10.25 inches wide. IF you trry to puzzle it with seats that overlap in such a way as to make use of that very narrow part of the shell underneath, you can do some really tight 3-acrosses.
Anyway, I had limited seats to play with, but was able to get a booster/RF titan/booster combo in there nicely, with TONS of room to buckle in between. I *think* you probably could have substituted a narrow FFing harness seat like the radian in place of one of the boosters... maybe even a scenera, tribute or cargo...almost definitely a cocorro..any seat with a 17ish inch or less width, basically.
I only had a turbo and highrise to play with, but I think you could substitute a PWSG, evenflo big kid, or any other narrow booster in there for the boosters.
Here is the pic of the 3 across.
And here you can see the amount of space in between the boosters and the titan - lots of room..about the width of a pop can, which is the only measuring device i had with me, LOL. I am HORRIBLE at buckling boosters in tight 3-acrosses, but I could easily fit my hands in the spaces available.
Now this pic..I want to be very clear..the middle position has ONLY a lap belt...BUT...I was using the turbo in place of a radian, since they have essentially the same width. There is a molded out part on the side of the windstar back row with a built in cupholder (you can see it in my first pic, it has a coffee cup in it) ..well, the titan flare-out fits over that, so again, you are taking advantage of overlap although only on that one side - BUT, it is enough to buy you enough room to still get a 3 across. So, this picture shows that you could get a RF titan, FF radian, booster. Or alternatively, you could almost certainly put a CCO in place of either the radian and/or booster.
