Wondering if I can fit 2 car seats and a booster in the back of my car?

I have a 2004 Cavalier Coupe. We are hoping to get a new vehicle in February with our tax money, but if we can't...wondering if its possible to have 2 car seats in there and a booster in the middle? I have a 2 year old in a Evenflo Triumph and a 9 year old in a backless booster and a new baby due in March, who will take the Graco Safeseat. I don't feel safe having my 9 year old be without a booster. She is 4ft 6 inches and 63 pounds. She looks tiny to me. I was going to have her in the middle, but I don't know if she will fit with her booster?

You might need a new seat or two to make it work - the Triumph is one of the widest seats.

Does the car have a middle shoulder belt? And what booster is the 9yo in?

Does your middle seat have a head support for your child? There needs to be either enough seatback or a headrest to support her head. Also, please verify that the middle seat has a lap and shoulder belt.

I agree with the previous poster about the possibly needing a new narrower seat for your 2 year old. It is pretty wide. It may work with the right combination of seats though.

Here is a good post showing a wide variety of cars with 3 seats across. Seeing some of those pictures may give you an idea of how you can get your seats to fit.
