I bought a new seat for dd...

First off, I wanted to say thank you for the recommendations in this thread I started http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=51529

I ended up going with the Graco Nautilus. I can't fit the Radian next to it like I wanted to but I wouldn't be able to with the Frontier either. I was a little intimidated about intalling the Frontier so that made my decision a little easier, lol.

This seat was supposed to be for my dd. She loved it when we tried it at the store so I came home and ordered it online. Well, when it arrived she was not too happy, I have no idea why. So, now the GN is my ds5's car seat and I bought a princess cover for the RN65 because I'm a sucker for girly stuff, lol. The new cover came in yesterday and I am very pleased with it, so is dd...she the toddler pillow.

We have the GN outboard passenger side and the RN outboard drivers. The GN is rock solid in there with seatbelt install. I couldn't get as good of an install with the RN in the outboard as I did when it was in the center seat but it didn't move more than an inch though. So I had an appointment today with a car seat tech and she showed me how to get the RN installed better. That seat does NOT move and I can do it all by myself now too.


I am so sorry this was so long but I'm excited and wanted to share it with all of you.

I am glad it all worked out!

What kind of car do you drive? I'm expecting # 3 in March and I would like to get a Nautilis, Radian, and SS1 in the back of a Chevy Malibu. Do you think you could put a SS1 or a snugride in between the Nautilis and the Radian?

I drive an '09 Dodge Journey. I have no idea about an infant seat fitting, I haven't had one in this car. The other day I got a Graco Comfortsport outboard passenger, Radian center seat, and Nautilus outboard driver. If you can, go to a store and try all of them together in your car to see if they'll fit. You can also check the successful 3 across thread here for more ideas. Good luck!!

Thanks, OP! I've posted a three across thread and gotten lots of great ideas. I thought I'd ask you what you thought since you had two of the seats a want in your car. I do have a CS, so that gives me some idea on width. Thanks again!
