I have a 2008 Mazda 3 and currently cannot fit 3 car seats in the back seat (we have 2 alpha and omega's currently). I'm wondering if 3 radian's fit (2 FF 1 RF) or if 2 radian's FF would fit with one RF Graco snugride bucket seat. Wondering what other Mazda 3 owners have done to fit 3 car seats in the backseat. I am willing to buy new car seats for my 2 FF kids if I can make 3 fit.

Hi and welcome! :) I'm not familiar with your vehicle, but if you could share the ages, weights, and shirt sizes of your kiddos, that will help others make recommendations. :)

Ah, the Mazda 3. Love the zoom, dislike the back seat width (I call it "not three butts wide"). The ages and sizes of your kids will help us help you.

Some general Mazda 3 notes: my three across is with one adult seat belt, and a RF radian is difficult for the front passenger if he or she is not short, even with the angle adjuster. But, I've had some success by adding in a Coccoro. A FF radian next to a RF coccoro fits fine. Two FF radians next to each other is a no-go, but a RF radian next to a FF radian might work, so if you have a set-up so that you could get the RF radian in the middle (it can't touch the passenger seat, and it won't fit at a newborn angle with my drivers), maybe three radians would work. If your RF rider is a newborn, I'd look at a coccoro over a Radian.
