Out of the loop--any other narrow seats?

My car was just in the shop for two months, and in that time, my 3yo DS outgrew his Coccoro. I replaced it with an Evenflo Secure Kid. Now I have my car back and it just does not work in there with my girls' boosters. Right now I have the Secure Kid, a Harmony DreamTime, and a Turbo. It's a matter of buckling in one by sliding her over, then I have to tip the booster and kid up to buckle the other booster. It's just not a workable solution.

I'm about to put the 7yo up front until I can figure something out here. I'm actually planning on buying a new car because I hate this arrangement so bad.

Anything super narrow I can use instead of the Turbo? I also have a Oobr and we hate it.

Can you put DS in a convertible with a base on it? I have my DD in the middle of my CRV between two Britax convertibles because she can actually buckle :rolleyes: Maybe his seat in the middle and the girls' boosters on either side?

I could, but what convertible has a high but very narrow base?

Oh, wait. I walked into that one.


The Foonf of course :p

LOL! I am still super tempted to get one and see if it makes my 3 across any better. Really I just want to play with it haha.

Oh, the Peg would probably work REALLY well next to boosters! The base/height is similar to a classic MA.

The base looks a bit wide. I'll have to go see if carseatblog has a review with measurements of that base.

What are the top strap slots, anyone know offhand?

ETA: the MA is way too wide.

Ok. It's a pain even with the Radian, and was bad even with a Coccoro, so I think a new car is the solution here :eek:

IME the Turbo stinks for 3 across - those arm rests KILL my 3 across attempts. :(

Is there a booster without arm rests out there or is that pretty standard?

I'm sorry you are having so much trouble.... i hated driving the car for the 2 weeks my van was getting body work after the tornado. :eek:

The Turbo actually works better than the DreamTime even though it's wider, because of the way it's shaped. :rolleyes:

I think I'm going to get a Foonf and try it. If it doesn't work, I will just save it for the new car. But, I can't find any place that has them in stock that ships to Alaska :(

The Evenflo Sure Ride/Titan 65 has 19" top slots, 65 ff weight limit, and looks to be fairly narrow. Supposed to be shipping end of December/beginning of January, I think, with a price of around $99. Maybe that would work?

Want measurements? I have one staring at me. Send me your email too, k?

akcpst@gmail.com Yeah, I'm original :p

Hm, is that the one that is in Target? It looks narrow, and the sides are scooped in such a way it might work to overlap my side bolsters and also to allow a booster to buckle.

Yup, it's the one that was on display at Target and taken down for awhile, but it'll be back in a little while. There was something about it on the blog.

We found the Evenflo Amp high back to be better to buckle in our 3 across. The shape of the armrests helps.

Sent from my iPhone and probably NAK, please excuse my typos.

Oops I blogged instead of posting!

Our Target still has the Titan/whatever. We are behind the times! I think I will buy one and try it. An Amp too! DD doesn't fall asleep in the car anymore and she asked for a backless. I'll try it.

Well I think it would work, but they only have the display, with a bunch of Titan50 seats marked down.

They should have it in a few weeks then. I sure hope so! I would still try an Amp to see if that might give you just enough wiggle room; the taller arm rests might just do it. It was a better fit than the backless Turbo in our two-door Pontiac Sunfire next to a Maestro, and I could fit two backless Amps with a Maestro center, but high back Amps should fit the same.
