Hi there,
We are trying to decide a new vehicle for our family.
Children:
FF - 5 yr old, 47" and 47lbs
FF/RF - 2 1/2 yr old 36.5" and 31lbs
Infant - 12 week old
Seats we have:
Infant - Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP
2 x Britax Boulevard 65
Britax Frontier - Click Tight
Diono Radian RXT
Diono Radian R100
Currently we have a 2013 soon to be 2017 BMW x3 and a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid.
Going 3 across has proven to be a challenge in both cars. Best success has been the two Diono's and the Infant car seat.
We are looking to keep the infant RF as long as possible and are considering moving our middle child back to RF. And we prefer to keep the 5 year old in a 5 point harness as long as possible.
We are deciding between going 3 across in a 2017 Subaru Outback or a 2016 Honda Odyssey.
After reading that there is an extra 2" of width in 2017 Outback compared to the 2016 I went to the dealership and spent an hour installing seats. We had success with the FF Frontier, a FF radian and the infant seat. It was tight, but we made it work.
We have yet to try any configurations in the Odyssey. After reading lots of threads here (very helpful by the way) we are left with a few questions.
What possible installation configurations do we have with these possible vehicles?
We are open to new car seats if necessary, we just want to know our options...
