But I cant find it. Looking for three acrosses for the third row of a caravan/town & country. I am getting a second three seat bench and will need to fit six kids in the van on occasion.

Thanks! I have a '99 but will give some of these a try. Kids I will be transporting are:

K, 7, 57 lb, booster
M1, 6, 61 lb, booster
A, 6, 52 lb, booster or harness
M2, 4, 42 lb, harnessed
W, 20 months, 28 lb, rf if at all possible (he is ff at home but mom trusts my judgement for my car)
R, 6 months, 14ish lbs, rf

And seats currently available:
Harmony literider-clip is broke but if it makes this work I'll buy another one.
2 evenflo big kids
1 turbo booster
1 radian 80, rf to 33 lb
2 classic marathons, one rf to 33 lb and other 35
Graco snugride 30

I wanted to get a frontier for middle dd but there really isnt going to be room the majority of the time, so i probably wont. May try m2 in a maestro, it isnt too expensive at least. I don't know how long I'll have m1 & m2, mom keeps taking them other places then bringing them back, so dont want to spend too mych on seats for them.

Do you have top tethers in all seating positions? Knowing where you have TT will probably help a tech guide you some more...good luck and have fun playing!

That was my old thread that was linked above. What ended up working well was:
3rd row: backless Big Kid, FF Scenera, backless Big Kid
2nd row: FF CarGo, RF Tribute, RF MA70 or RF TFP

I current have my 3rd row: FF CarGo, FF Scenera, Cosco Ambassador/HiRise

I have discovered that:
The Cosco Ambassdor/ HiRise nbb is narrower and fits better in a 3 across.

The Evenflo Tribute is great in a 3 across.

The MyRide is also great in a 3 across, especially when the MR is FF in the middle. I was able to get a MR in the middle of the 3rd row with a BK on either side.

I haven't tried the MA70 FF in the 3rd row of my van but it does work in the tight 3 across in dh's car with a booster on either side.

I would try
3rd row:
BK (K), FF MA (M2), BK (M1)
2nd row:
RF MA (R or W), RF RN (R or W), TB (A)

or if that 2nd row doesn't work maybe get a Tribute from Walmart ($50 or less) and try RF Tribute (R or W), RF MA (R or W), FF RN (A)

I know this has been done..
