Come to my carseat playdate!

I really wish I could get both of the older kids in a HB. I could just scream because I know that an old style parkway would probably fit easily. :(

Can the 3 yr old go back rf? I would do 3 yr old rf in the r100 for a few more lbs. TB for 5 yr old and literider for 7 yr old. I would think the TB would fit next to the r100 rf or ff.

Because of the contouring of the bench seats at each end, it is the hip room that is giving me grief. I am hoping that the radian and TB will puzzle well otherwise its going to be a toss up on if there is enough room for both. There is just barely enough for the literiders with their narrow bottoms.

I am not sure how DS would fit the R100 RFing or even if I could get an acceptable install in the middle and it would have to be the middle. Its a possibility.

I would try radian outboard, tb center (or can you get a harmony dream time?), lbb outboard. With the boosters on the side where the two buckles are (no accidental unbuckling).

I wish the literider was highback. The shape of the bottom is perfect. I am assuming the Dreamtime HB's base is a completely different shape?

Also, the terrain is not the most carseat friendly car. Besides the whole 3-across problems, the fixed headrests make it impossible for some seats to be installed correctly. The marathon doest even come close to touching the back of the seat at all FFing. I would hate to see what a FFing Myride looked like. Also, per the manual, top tethers in the outboard position must go around the headrest and not under it or over it.

Could you get a different HBB? It's been my personal experience that the TB is wider for 3 across than I'd like, despite the actual measurements. (for instance, I can get a Rodi and ProBooster to play nice in my 3 across in my Prius but never could the TB or PWSG.) Although they were always next to RF seats...

I never liked how the rn fit for me ffing for a 3 across :/ It doesn't have the back cutouts most seats have that make buckling boosters next to easy.

I had lr, rn, lr in my Impala. I now have lr, fr, lr and have the same amount of buckling room ;)

I'm trying to find hbb's for my kids that will puzzle well with our fr. My seats also have that end slope that tilts anything besides the lr. I think I may try a vivo because it sits on a small 2 track base. I need to find out how wide it is first ;) I want to try a psgl too but I know it will probably end up tilted.

I think we're in the same boat so if I find something that some what works I'll let you know!

Fta: I would definitely put the harness seat outboard if at all possible. That way you can smoosh down the seat slant and have at least one flat spot for a booster. You can also slide it closer to the door than you can a booster to possibly get an extra much needed inch.

I have center latch so I don't have to worry about accidental buckling, but having the boosters next to each other with the buckles on the same side will prevent that. It will also make it easier on you if you need to help them buckle as you can reach them from the same side ;)

Thanks! The Rodi is very close to the same shape as the OS PW that was so awesome for 3-across.

What about the Harmony V6 Highback booster? I think it's specially designed for 3-across. We also had better luck in our 3-across with an Evenflo Amp Highback rather than a Turbo.

Thanks! I will look into this one.

Try the dreamtime!! It is shaped perfectly for contoured seats.

Ok, first off, I cannot get over C's hair! Holy long hair! LOL Beautiful! :love:

I vote for the maestro and 2 literiders (or the highback).

Thanks :D It has really grown and gotten much curlier in the last year. :love:

Yeah, I am leaning that way myself.
