Question Convertible car seats for twins? Boulevard vs. Radian?

I have twins almost 1 year old and thinking about which convertible car seats to get. I am planning to have another baby soon and need all three car seats to fit together. Is it possible to fit two convertibles and one infant seat in one row in the back seat of a sedan, or do I need an SUV or minivan-type vehicle with multiple back rows? We live in New York City and don't own a car, but we do take long road trips with rental cars. Our current infant seats are Britax Chaperones, would love to use this with next baby. Was thinking Britax Boulevard 70s for the convertibles, but I'm reading that Radians are smaller but just as safe. Any advice? Many thanks!

All carseats pass the same testing. So the Radians, the Scenera, the Tribute, everything is as safe as your Britaxes.

If you want three across a sedan, and hope to use your Chaperones (quite possibly the biggest infant seat front to back and side to side), you will need Radians, and even then you're going to have to hope for the best and pick a wide sedan. Would you be willing to get a smaller infant seat, or just use three Radians? Or maybe two Radians and a Coccoro, since it doesn't sound like you use the carrier feature of an infant seat like most people do. You can get the Flash frame for the Coccoro, and you can use it from birth. The Radians fit newborns as well.
