3 convertibles in a row??

shemmeke55 · Aug 13, 2010

Ok, so I have twins that are 8 months old right now, and I just got them My Ride 65's, which I love. I didn't think to consider the fact that I want to have one more child in the next few years, and now I am worrying I won't be able to get three convertible car seats at once in our 2 cars. I need to have three that fit in my 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor, and my husband has a Mazda 6. I can tell just by looking at the 2 my rides in my Endeavor, that there is NO WAY a third car seat would fit with them. While it's possible we may replace my husband Mazda 6 before having the third child, we can't afford to replace the Edeavor as well. Are there any convertible car seats that can fit 3 across in my 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor?? I rather replace my car seats than have to buy 2 new vehicles! Thanks!

Are you currently installing the myrides with latch or with seatbelt? About what is the distance between the two myrides? Is this about what your backseat looks like? Also, how wide is your center seat? Also, would you expect your twins to still be rear facing or forward facing?

Cryssy asked some very good questions, and we can help you more once you answer those

But I just wanted to note that it's entirely possible to get a third seat between two MyRides in many vehicles; something low-profile like a Radian, Complete Air, or Avenue would work very well because the cupholders of the MyRides could lip over top of the seat in the center. I have a MR and a Radian installed together in a very tight space, so I know it can be done

You also might be able to continue to use one of the MRs, and get two more convertibles (instead of three.)

Plus, who knows what seats will come out between now and when you have #3!
