Fitting an infant and 2 convertible car seats (3 car seats) in a Prius

I'm posting this because I searched for hours to figure out if I could get 2 toddler car seats and an infant car seat into the back of a Prius, specifically, so hopefully this helps others who are trying to do the same thing. We got two Diono Radian Rxts (I personally like the wings; I feel like they protect the kids better and give them some support when they fall asleep) and a Graco Snugride Click Connect 30 into the back of the Prius and there is a wee bit of elbow room left, still. It worked best with the infant carrier on the side, rather than in the middle. It will be easier to get in and out of the car that way, anyway, but the single seat is a little wider, so the infant carrier just sat on that side better. I spent the afternoon trying different configurations. I can even get a cup holder into each of the Radians.

I hope this helps others trying to get three car seats into a Prius! I'm not sure if the width of the Priuses are different, but we have a Prius V. (The tags of everything are still on in the pictures because I was making sure everything fit before taking them all off!)
