Thanks Carrie!
That was my sister, all of my family thinks Im too overprotective/crazy about car seats, so she was just giving me a hard time. I found a tech and am going to her house today to get everything checked out. It should be fun!

Do you think the radian will fit in the Pacifica ok? They look kinda big from the pictures Ive seen.

I have an 06 Pacifica and the Radian will fit in it! Mine also has the 3rd row. I have had 2 True Fits Rfing back there (accessed them through the hatch). I had to use rolled towels to get the angle right, it was WAY too upright without. I also had the scoot the 2nd row all the way up. This was last year:

I've also had the Nautilus in the 3rd row (driver side, with TT) and as far as I remember the base fit. My 3rd row belts (and 2nd row) have locking latchplates. The 3rd row belt stalks are a total PITA for installing car seats though. If you have any questions I'd be happy to help you!

Thanks! I took them to a Tech yesterday and I think we were out there for an hour trying to get the Nautilus' to fit 3rd row, but they wouldn't no matter how hard we tried. I was wrong about the 1/2 inch hanging off, she said it was about 2-3 inches off. How did you get yours to fit? Also in the manual for the Nautilus it says it has to be all the way on for booster mode, but doesn't say that anywhere for harnessed mode. We were gonna call monday and find out why it is so important to have the whole base on. Right now we have the infant seat and True Fit RF in the back and the two Nautilus' in the 2nd row, but it is a pain to get the babies in the back, and the little one just screams the entire time he's back there and there is no way to get to him while the car is moving.
We also found out he is quickly becoming too big for the harness on the Baby Trend. I think I have it all the way out, and it is still really hard to buckle because it is so tight on him. I might get a Marathon from a friend here (girly pattern but better than him being squished in his baby seat.)
The tech said I might have to get new seats for my older kids if I want to put them in the 3rd row, unless Graco says it's ok for some hangover to occur. That would really suck because I just got these at the beginning of the year and had to wait until tax time to do so, there really isnt a way to get them new seats like that again without my husband getting mad.
