2003 Mazda Protege

Radian forward facing and seat belted, Baby Trend (center) latched, and Radian forward facing and seat belted. Very easy install. The seat behind the driver's side touched the infant seat, but had plenty of room anyway.

Here is what I installed today. It was not checked by a tech.
2007 Pilot

Driver,center, passenger
maxi-cosi rodi booster/nautilus/true-fit FF
maxi-cosi rodi booster/boulevard RF/nautilus
maxi-cosi rodi booster/nautilus/boulevard RF

They all installed like a dream (with seat belts) they weren't as squished as I thought they would be, although I think it would be hard for a child to buckle the booster (my son can't anyways so it won't be an issue)

Three more to add!

2005 Highlander
Driver side to passenger side: FF Radian, RF Coccoro, HB Turbo
All seatbelt installs, Coccoro needed locking clip due to buckle stalk. Turbo can be buckled by kid using it BUT within 2 days he unbuckled the coccoro :rolleyes:
Installed with a tech, so uh, I guess it was checked!

2005 Highlander
Driver side to passenger side:
FF radian (seatbelt install), HB Turbo, HB Turbo Center kid could buckle, unbuckle before outboard turbo kid got in. Center kid had to unbuckle both turbos
Not checked by a tech

2009 Murano
Driver Side to passenger side:
Graco Nautilus, RF Radian, HB Turbo turbo rider could not buckle his own seat
Not checked by a tech

2006 subaru impreza. All seatbelt installed.

Driver -------------- center ------ passenger

keyfit (w/base)------ rf MA----- FF RN XTSL
Kyfit (w/base) ------ rf MA ----- RF RN XTSL

Checked by me. The squeeze between the ma and the keyfit were very tight, but independently secure still and the MA and FF RN did not want to puzzle together very well, that took a good chunk of play to get them to be nice. Pix coming soon.

2003 Ford Focus wagon

driver: FF Radian, installed with LATCH
middle: Keyfit 30 w/base, installed with seatbelt
passenger: FPSV booster

The trick to this setup is to install the FF Radian first, as close to the door as possible, then install the Keyfit as close to the Radian as possible. This will leave room for the booster kid to buckle easily. (In fact, my DS was surprised by how easily he could see the buckle and how much room he had to buckle. :thumbsup:)

driver: RF My Ride, installed with LATCH (as close to the door as possible)
middle: Keyfit 30 w/base, installed with seatbelt
passenger: FPSV booster

The My Ride and Keyfit are very snug but are independently tight.

Driver: RF Coccoro, installed with seat belt
Middle: FPSV booster
Passenger: FF Radian

1998 Ford Escort (four-door)

driver: FF Radian
middle: Keyfit 30 w/base
passenger: "classic" Parkway

All installations checked by a tech. ;)

2001 Chevy Cavalier, 4 door (lap belt center)

FF RadianXT, RF Cocorro, FF Radian

Recaro Vivo, baseless SR32, FF RadianXT (the Vivo needs to be pushed to the side to be buckled and then pushed back in proper position once buckled. Easy with my light son, may be harder with a heavier child.)

All have 3 full twists on the buckle stalks.

Not check by tech.

Driver/Middle/Passenger
2nd row
Turbo booster/FF-Roundabout/SR35

Here's another three across in a 2001 Kia Rio.
All are using seat belts.

Driver's side - FF'ing Scenera
Middle - RF'ing Eddie Bauer bucket
Passenger side - RF'ing Scenera

The bucket is on the base, but we use it as stationary.

2003 Suburban

All seat belt installs:

Evenflo HBB, FF Radian, FF Marathon (tough to buckle booster)

Evenflo HBB, FF Marathon (tricky, have to flip female buckle), FF Radian (2 full twists needs and it's tough! - make sure NOT to put all your weight in the Radian - it will get solid without going that extra push - easier with Reclined base)

FF Marathon, FF Radian (2 full buckle twists needed and you need to be strong to achieve it, twist female buckle and again, don't force all your weight in the seat as it will push the latch plate on the corner of the RN... it was solid without having to lean my weight in seat) , FF Marathon

No pics at this time. Checked by Tech.

This is a 2010 Jeep Liberty and we have a Comfort Air installed RF with LATCH behind the passenger seat, a Graco Nautilus installed with the seat belt and top tether in the middle, and a Combi Coccoro installed RF with LATCH behind the driver's seat :D It all fits and the front seats are still totally useable, though the passenger side won't fit a very tall adult. But, it works!! All seats are individually rock solid.
