Hello-
I'm trying to get three across to work in my husband's car, which is an older (2006ish) Honda accord.
Children:
age 2 - riding RF behind passenger in a graco 4ever all-in-one convertible - installed with latch (I can't get a secure install on the leather seat with the seatbelt for this carseat, so I am losing an inch or so of seat width using latch to install it).
age 8 - riding in bubble bum with seat belt in middle seat (trying to make this fit - can't really buckle easily with current set up)
age 5 - riding in a Harmony Defender - installed with latch
Right now, I have the three seats all installed, and they fit, BUT my very skinny 8 year old can barely buckle the seatbelt and can barely fit as he is sandwiched between the two carseats (I can't actually tell if his back is fully against the seat, though he claims it is).
I am going to try to re-install the Harmony Defender with the seatbelt instead of the latch to see if it gives us an extra inch or so that we need.
IF this doesn't work, I am considering swapping the harmony defender with a bubble bum or a ride safer travel vest for 5 yr old. 5yr old son is 45in and 43lbs. Can he go in a bubble bum or should he still be in a 5 point? Are there other options I should consider? I have a RF Foonf, and 2 FF Radians in my car and really hope to not buy yet another expensive narrow seat. Thoughts?
