I did it. I didn't think it was possible, but wow they fit. I started with the middle and then did the out board seats. They are all in there with the shoulder/lap belts.

They are a FF MA/ RF FPSVD/ FF BV

Sorry no kid pictures, they are sleeping and my nephew is at his house.

Well done :thumbsup:

I'm to no end irritated that other people can get three across of BRITAX in their little cars when if I even used one Britax in my SUV, no other carseats were going in.

Wow, I would have never guessed it possible with Britax seats in a Jetta!

Wow! Well done!

I bought the Scenera to go in dh's 2003 Jetta so we would have room to put a TB on one side and seatbelted child on the other. With the MA in the middle, the seatbelted child is too squished, same thing if I put her in the middle no matter what combo I did. I have to pull the TB out a bit to buckle it and then shove it back in place and tighten the belt. I never would have thought 3 big Britax would fit. Right now, dh is driving carpool with the HBTB and Parkway outboard and a very skinny kid in seatbelt between them. My oldest won't fit back there with that configuration as she is much more solid than the neighbor girl.

Wow, that is amazing. I just posted a new thread before I found this one. I have a 2005.5 Jetta with 2 FF Britax Roundabouts, do you think I could fit a RF Graco Snugride in the middle with a belt? I have the other 2 LATCH attached right now. Do you guys know how big across the Snugride base is? Is it bigger than what we see in the pic here? I would love to not have to sell my Jetta, I love it and it's almost paid off.

Hum, Or maybe I just buy another Britax for the middle if the snugride is too big and just bypass getting an infant seat???

I would turn those 17 month twins around RF, and if the OP can fit three full-size Britax convertibles I don't think you'll have a problem fitting in a Snugride.

Two RA's and a Snug Ride eill fit in a Jetta, but only if the RA are rfing.

You *could* fit a Snug Ride in the middle, but getting it over the top of the RA outboard will kill your back in very short order.

If you turn the 2 RA's rfing you can get the SR outboard without a problem.

Plus, rfing is much safer and is recommended until at least 2 yrs old.
