Question 3 across in a 2013 Santa Fe?

Hi All.

Looking for carseat recommendations. We've got #3 on the way and would like to fit 3 carseats across our 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. Right now we've got the following:

1) 6 year-old, 55lbs, in a Graco Turbobooster
2) 2.5 yearold, 35lbs, in a Britax Frontier? Pinnacle?-all I know is that it is HUGE and holds up to 65lbs.

I have a feeling I need to replace the Britax with something narrower. Don't know if the Graco Turbo Booster needs replacing as well. I would like this new seat (Britax replacement) to be able to convert to a booster when needed, so I don't need to replace it again.
I also need to purchase a narrow infant seat. I have heard that the Chicco Key fit 30 or Baby Trend flex loc are good and narrow. Again, the more use I can get out of these seats, the better! Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

Your 2.5 year old is still much safer rear facing versus forward facing. If you are interested in continuing to rf I would look at a Diono Radian. It will last your 2 year old years rf and ff. If you want to keep your 2 year old ff I would look at either the Harmony Defender or Diono Radian. The radian is narrower and more expensive. The defender is a little wider but costs less and turns into a booster. However, boosters do not have to be expensive so I wouldn't worry too much about if the seat you buy now turns into a booster or not.
