I don't have a car, but we sometimes have a long drives in my mom's Toyota Matrix (I think it's an '06). She says the back seat is 46" wide, but I'm not sure exactly where on it she measured.
Atm, I have a 65lb 7 year old who used a Cosco Highrise backless booster & a 32lb 3 year old who is ff in an Alpha Omega (both seats made in 2006). I'm due at the end of Feb & I'm trying to figure out what to get that will fit the best for the longest time for all the kids. I was thinking of getting a Radian & putting the baby in that rear-facing until he/she is big enough for the Alpha (rf'ing, of course), then switching the baby & my 3 year old, since the 3 year old is at the top usable slot on the AO (still has growing room on it, though). Once the 3 year old is big enough/mature enough for a booster, I could switch him back to the AO & the baby back to the Radian.
The Radian seems really pricey, though. On the other hand, I'm not sure there's a less expensive seat that would be able to fit 3 across. I'm hoping someone here has some ideas for me. (I'm in Canada if that makes any difference)
