Subaru Sedan (middle seat narrow!)

bnsnyde · May 17, 2015

I am measuring like 11 inches.
Incognito doesn't even seem to fit. I don't even seem to fit, lol.

Anyone have a seat here?
It's a Subaru sedan (sorry not sure model as it's Nana's).

I think I'll just put 2 Diono Cambrias outboard with (correction) latch and call it a day. At least she could take any 2 of my older kids for a ride, in these very sturdy seats! Really she'd be unlikely to need 3 seats anyway. But it bugs me how nothing seemed to fit.

The incognito doesn't fit our middle spot either. Looking for boosters only? 3 across? We use the bubblebum in our middle position, but the topside can also work for us if puzzled with the right things, particularly an incognito on the buckle side. Those might be your 2 narrowest options for boosters. HTH. I've often wondered who they make some of these middle seats for.

The Diono Cambria has rigid LATCH?

Oops, regular latch I think.
I knew it had something!

The bubblebum should work there. The harmony youth/lite rider fits in my Impreza middle but my ds says it feels a little bit tippy. The combi coccoro and britax convertibles work really well in the middle if you need something for little kids.

I would think the Bubblebum would work. I can get 3 across in my Mazda3 with Harmony Literiders outboard & a bubblebum in the center. I think it's only about 8" between buckles.

OK, thanks! I ordered one.

I have 2 Diono Cambria's now outboard, latched.

Harmony Youth didn't fit at all in the middle there between these.
If BubbleBum doesn't fit, then it's a 2 kid car. It just would be nice to have 3 but really, Nana would have 2 at a time, most likely. Hence, I want to keep my big, wide seats outboard latched.

So at least 2 kids are super safe. Probably I could do a 3 across backless but having two HBB sounds better for our situation anyway. She is emergency pickup for my school kids, and one is 4 (but way, way huge at 50 lbs. and crazy tall).

I'm almost certain the bubblebum will work center, but it may not work between the Cambrias if they are big. We've used ours next to PKWY or topside with incognito on the other side where 2 have to buckle. I'd be interested to hear if your configuration works and hope it does for your sake.
