Can two infant seats (a Chicco keyfit and a Graco I think) and a Britax Boulevard 70 cs all fit in the back seat of a 2010 Subaru Outback? I have my sister coming to visit for a few days and she has a 6 month old. I have a newborn and an 18 month old. It looks like the Chicco or Graco may fit in the middle without the base but it would be a tight fit. I want to be safe. Thanks.

Actually the 2010 outback is quite spacious. It would probably be a tight squeeze but I see it being doable. It may be easier to put the two infant seats next to each-other. Also will both infant seats be installed with bases, sans bases or a mix because that could be a deciding factor as well.

I had a rf ca, rf cco and rf radian in my loaner car which was a 2010 outback. Also a rf ca, rf cco and a keyfit. And still had a good 3-4 inches on each side. Much more side to side room than my impreza. However you'll have to be careful with the plastic pieces on the outboard seats as depending on the seat they may get in the way.

Wow, Chryssy that's my car (well almost, I have a 2009) and I would never have thought I could fit that much in there.

I know the KF30 will fit in the center nicely with the base beause it's quite narrow, and the built in lock offs make it really nice and snug. What kind of Graco is it? If it's a SN32/35 the base flairs out quite a bit and is very wide, which may or may not fit next to the KF30, but for sure it will fit baseless (I've done this before). The BLVD might be a problem, but it might not. I can't be sure because I've never had one in my car. I know that Cosco Scenaras are somewhat narrow and they're very affordable, so maybe I would look into getting one of those for your 18 month old just in case the BLVD doesn't fit.

So in short I would do the Britax/Scenera-KF30 with or without the base-Graco baseless. I wouldn't try to put the BLVD in the middle.
