A new three across!

We are going to a wedding 2 hours away this weekend. My parents are riding with us, so I wanted all three kids in the back row. I have a 3 across back there that works great with Madeline's (7 years old) booster, but since we are going to be traveling home late at night, I wanted her to be harnessed so she could sleep.

I got the Myride FF, Radian RF, and Coccoro RF to fit with room to spare! Now I just have to hope that Madeline fits in the Myride or else I have to put her booster back in.

Van is 2000 Ford Windstar

If she doesn't fit, could you do RF MR, FF Radian, RF Coccoro? Then the FF seat gets a tether too. I know the FF Radian fits great in the center (mine goes in super easy FF & RF center).
The Caravan is thankfully, a lot easier to work with than others (like Windstars).

Yes, I bet she fits in the Radian, so that's an option. I can't put my 2 year old in the Myride though because he can undo the chest strap! I do have an avenue that he can ride in. The Avenue, FF Radian, Coccoro would probably fit.

What did you mean about the FF seat getting a top tether too? The Myride is tethered. I have tether anchors in 6 seating positions in my van. (The front passenger seat has an anchor too. I don't put a ff seat there, but it's great for my rearfacing radian which is usually right behind the front passenger seat!)

Awesome! Totally jealous though, I could never get the FF MR next to RF Radian in that rear bench seat of my 2000 Ford Windstar...but I also had a slightly wider seat that CCO as my third seat, so bet that made a difference.

Ah! You must have the lucky 2001 that had anchors. Mine's a 2003 with only 1 in the back.
I'm glad she fits! That's great to know on that 3 across. Drive safe :)

The MR has to be on the passenger side because it fits right over the wheel base there. First I put the Coccoro on the passenger side, radian in the middle, and the Myride didn't fit at all.

If your Windstar is designed the same, the Myride takes up very little room on that passenger side, because it fits over that wheel base and can press up all the way to the side of the van. I can also fit, Myride, and 2 Avenues rearfacing back there. Or Myride, Avenue, Turbobooster.
