HB or backless?

I don't think it does -- think the armrests are too tall -- although on the lower setting it might be a possibility. I'm not completely sure, since the spot where I put a booster next to the MR doesn't fit a Turbo. You can definitely slip a backless Cosco highrise under there, though, if it's a single-time or infrequent need. They're cheap enough.

It's a HB TB. I'll have to play with it when dh gets home with the TB. My family is taking my van tomorrow, and myself and my 2 girls will have to squeeze in the 3rd row.

YES very nicely, I have a myride rear facing next to a high back turbo booster in my passat right now!:thumbsup: very tightly puzzled in that very small back seat.

Cool - thanks! This will be a good chance to extend my ODD's booster training. She's been doing well with 15-20 min rides and this will be 35-40 min with me sitting back there with her.

I was trying to do a 3 across in my G6 and could not for the life of me get the MR and TB to play well together. May have just been my car...but they seemed to hit at the same spots and the MR was just a little bit too wide to puzzle well.

It worked!! Here it is - 3rd row of 04 Chevy Venture. Even have room to squeeze my size 18 @ss next to the MR and just buckle the seatbelt. Armrest just fits under the cupholder of the MR and gives a "pocket" to buckle the TB.

yes, this. IT is a great 3 across for kids of those sizes. It works the same with a Titan RFing in the middle, although of course that seat has a lower shell and weight limits.

Almost twins, we'll say fraternal - it's the Bartlett, which I think looks a lot like the Streamer!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I have a My Ride and a Turbobooster (well, we own one, but we haven't actually used it yet), and it's good to know that they might be able to overlap for us, once I start using the Turbobooster for DD when she outgrows her True Fit. It would be nice to be able to sit in the backseat with her while she's booster training.

Got back from our outing today. I am so proud of my oldest and how amazing well she sat in the booster! Granted, I locked the seatbelt on her, but she still sat very still - even with her annoying 2 yo sister bugging the heck out of her. I found out that I would never want them side-by-side on a permanent basis!!! I'm thinking by this time next year when ODD is just shy of 6 she will be ready for a full-time booster.
