How does the Radian Puzzle with the GN? A 3 across puzzle.

We are road tripping and in theory we would like to get all the kids 3 across the back of the 2009 (maybe 2010?) Town and Country. We have two (DS - 16 months and C - 8 months) RFers and one FFer (DD - 4.5). The FFer could ride RF in the Radian.

Here are the seats that we have:

Radian XT - (DD does fit RF and would ride that way if we needed her to, even though she is primarily FF)
3 Marathon Classic's (DD can fit with a smidge of room FF but is not very comfortable)
FPSVD - not sure if that would make a difference?
Truefit
Nautilus (DD only)
Frontier 85 (DD only)

I worked on it a little bit today and successfully got a RF MA, RF Radian, RF MA. This works, but I worry about how we are going to load all three in the car? I am SHORT and would have to climb into the hatch to get them in. The Radian fits really well RF between the two.

I can also get a FF MA, RF Radian, and RF MA. The issue with this one is that the FF MA is for DD and its not really a comfortable seat for her to be in for a long time. She would live, but I don't really want to listen to her whine the whole way there and back.

The Frontier and the RF MA did not puzzle together. I didn't try the GN at all, but I am wondering how the RF Radian and the GN Puzzle together? What about the GN and a RF MA?

Anyone have any other thoughts? Do I need another Radian?

The only way I can get them next to each other in my car is if the gn is on the passenger side. The radian rf hits right where the cup holder would be otherwise.

They work well in our Kia, too, but I have three captains chairs across (may be roomier than usual for two seats side-by-side).

Cryssy it looks like your radians are way more upright than mine, which would solve the cup holder issue. :)

A Radian was where the keyfit was right before this pic, and fit also.

true true. Radians naturally install pretty upright in my car. I did notice the more
Upright the less the cup holders got in the way. That being said I do feel that a rf rn puzzles better with a fr

The center seating position in my 98 CRV is very small, but fwiw I tried to put a Nautilus in the center next to my outboard RF Radian and there's no way they would fit, the sides of the Nauti are just too wide and didn't fit with the Radian. A RF MyRide or FF Marathon do fit though.
