Question 3 Across in VW Tiguan

Hello Everyone! New here. I have 7 month old twin boys and am starting to think about switching them to a convertible carseat. Now my issue is that my nephew is 9 months old and I will be taking them to "school" in the mornings when they are 2 years old. I need to be able to fit three across. I've been looking at 3 seats for my boys that I like and my nephew doesn't need to use the same one. I'm assuming my sister in law will get something a little cheaper for him since he'll literally only be riding in my car for at max 5 min every morning (the preschool is very close).

I've been looking at the Graco MyRide 65, the Combi Cocorro and the Recaro ProRide. I have a substantial credit at Buy Buy Baby so price isn't necessarily a huge issue. Right now the boys are on the smaller size weight wise (10% percentile for the last 4 months) and 25% and 50% percentile for height.

Thanks in advance!

With two My Rides probably the only seat you could get between them would be a Coccoro or a Radian. You having two Radians for your boys would make things easier to fit between them, but they may be more seat than little boys need. However, they are fantastic in a tight three across, last a long time rear and forward facing, and are decently economical. They'd be my first choice for planning three rear facing across a backseat. Especially a Tiguan.

Any. They're all the same size and shape with the same top slots. The R100 rear faces to 40 pounds and forward faces to 65, the R120 and RXT rear face to 45 pounds and forward face to 80. None are great boosters (the bottom starting weight is 50 pounds, which is high, and the RXT is outgrown as a booster as the same time as the harness, and the R100 and R120 have high shoulder guides that are non adjustable).
