Which cars have three sets of latch in a row that you can use all at one time?

Off the top of my head, Impala. I'm sure more do too.

You wouldn't actually want to install 3 seats with LATCH at the same time though, you get more room to work with when you install with all seat belts. We'll be more than glad to help you install with seat belts if it's tricky for you and we have a list of CPSTs if you'd prefer hands on help.

07+ Acura MDX.

ETA: made the assumption you were using car as a generic term including other vehicles

Is a seatbelt install just as safe as a latch install (if done correctly)?

Can three seats fit across the middle row of a sienna fairly easily? We were looking at a minivan, but my daughter doesn't want to sit in the backseat by herself and our 4 year old can't unbuckle by herself yet so I won't put her back there yet. So, I was considering a big sedan that will do three or maybe one of the 8 seater siennas. It would be nice to have the extra cargo and seating space.

Seatbelt installs are just as safe as LATCH installs, assuming both are done correctly.

My '05 (so 2nd generation) Expedition has 3 dedicated sets of LATCH.

Yep. Looking at all options right now from large sedans to suv to van. I just don't really even know where to begin. I;d prefer new for the warranty (burned by a used odyssey a few years ago) but don't want to spend more than ~$23, so that cuts out a lot of the new vans (except maybe a dodge). anyone have any experience with a dodge journey three across?

For Cars I know the Chevy Cobalts do & we looked at a Pontiac something or other similar to an impala in size & it had 3 full sets....maybe check out the Chevy Orlando? I think that's what it's called? It comes in a 7 pass model similar to the Dodge Journey

3 across in a Journey isn't too bad with a Radian - the Radian installs nice too without the AA outboard - it only has 2 sets of latch but allows borrowing for the middle which is nice.

My 3 across I had 2 Marathons & a Radian & then I did a Complete Air, Marathon & Radian

This was already answered, but in case you didn't know LATCH has weight limits. Both vehicles and car seats have their own max weights and you should follow the lower weight limit of the two.
