Question Desperate for 3 across help!!!!!!

I am really really needing to get a 3 across figured out in my 2007 Toyota Corolla!! It will be a temporary deal, maybe 6mo, because plan is to get a van, but finances make it better to wait.

S is 3.5yr, 32lb, 41" and just turned FF. he currently rides in a CA65 or a meastro (spare). Haven't measured torso in a while. My guess is 15-16"

C is 19mo, 22lb, 31" and in a RF CA65 or a Titan (spare). Have never measured his torso, but has maybe 1" of growth room left in the Titan and head is perfectly within the head wings of his CA65 on the bottom click.

I prefer to have an infant seat for baby coming, but am willing to do whatever will fit. But we live in snow country and have to climb flights of stairs to get to our door. I feel an infant carrier will be safer to transport baby during the winter.

I got a VERY tight successful install with RF CA65, RF Titan (but not appropriate NB recline), and FF CA65 (all seatbelts of course) But I didn't feel comfortable with how tight it was.

I did a trial with my RF CA65, a KF30 (with base), and couldn't get either the meastro or a FF CA65 in there.

My next attempt will be a Radian. Or 2. But hoping to get a RF radian (S will hopefully still have RF room in November, has about 1" room), KF30 and one of my CA65. If the Radian fits better FF, I'm okay with S FF. Howver I can get it.

Any other options? I really don't want to have buy 3 seats if I can avoid it!! I want to get a FN85 for S when we get the van. So if I can manage buying only 1 or 2 seats, that would be awesome!!

Thanks in advance for all your help!


(we had the 2 RF CA65 both outboard for 19mo, even with 6'0" DH. Space is not an issue for us. We both have gotten used to smaller spaces for us to keep he boys safe!

Try 2 Radians and a Keyfit. I know someone has gotten them into a Prius, so it should be a lot less irritating in a Corolla

I would think the titan might fit with radian center, too, but I've never tried it.

I more or less just tried the Titan to see what type of room o was dealing with. I really don't want to use it for the baby. I have no insert for it, and it just seems too "big" for a NB with no support. I don't even think rolled blankets would give me the support I want for a NB.

I also would like to keep it as a spare for DH car. He would never be able to take all 3 kids at once in his car, but having the Titan installed and ready for a quick run with either of the younger two, would be ideal.

I'd use the Titan in my 3 across as a last resort =\

KetchupQueen had a Corolla and did a 3 across with a few combos of seats. I'd private message her.
