Chase vs Maestro

I am looking for a couple of seats for my van for daycare kiddos. I am buying a My Ride for my big 2yo, but I need 2 seats for my older kiddos.

I know the Chase is narrow, but does anyone know how much wider the Maestro is? I would like to be able to use them in a 3 across situation. If it would fit next to a RF MR, it would be wonderful. I am having to completely reconfigure my van and it is proving to be difficult. :(

Any information about these seats next to other seats would be much appreciated. :thumbsup:

They will actually be used for a variety of different kiddos. I harness them as long as possible, so that is why I was interested in the Maestro. I don't have a lot of money to spend on Nautis. I already have 3 RF seats, and will be getting the MR, but I need to replace my Cargos that expired this year. I am sure the Chase will fit the space, but would like to get the higher harness height from the Maestro. I just wondered if it was considered a narrow seat also, or if I was setting myself up for a hard fit when I need to do a 3 across.

Oh wow, I hadn't seen that. I thought someone had a picture of the new Chase with the new labeling.

It does have new labeling. It's on the box, and the paper attached to the seat. How could that be Target's error???

ETA: When I first saw the CHase LX at Target, I swear it said 40 pounds. But then the newer ones I saw say 50.

I checked my Target's Chase thoroughly after the linked thread. The Target labels on the shelf say 50, but the seat itself and boxes say 40.

Not sure if this info helps but 3 Maestros fit across on a bench seat in a 15 passenger van.

This helps a lot.

I will need at least 1 row with a 3 across. The other row, I am hoping that I can puzzle a MR next to a Maestro to help get a little more space. I have a Regent to put in there too, but I really don't think there is any 3 across that will work with that one. :(

Seat and box say 40 :(

Guess it will the the Maestro for sure then. :( 40 pounds just wont be versatile enough
