I was directed here for info...hoping for some help...I read thru the entire successful 3 across thread but no car like mine so here's my question
I just found out that I am having twins and will have a 2yo when they are born. I currently have the Alpha Omega Elite forward facing in the passenger side forward facing, will probably move him to the center when putting new seats in for the babies. I also have a Graco Safe Seat infant carrier that I would like to use for 1 of the twins and need to purchase the 3rd seat...
any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Those two seats are not going to puzzle next to eachother at all in a Tucson. You will however, be able to get a forward facing Radian in the center position with SafeSeat infant carriers outboard on each side :)

How old is the child in the AOE and how much does s/he weigh?

My son is currently 19.5m old and 27lbs forward facing in my AOE. I am guessing by the time the twins roll around he will be closer to 30 lbs...

I drive a '05 Tucson, & fitting 3 across will be a bit of a challenge. I think Maedze was right. Try the Radian in the middle & the infant seats outboard. Good luck & congrats on the twins!

Thanks for getting back to us!


At his age and weight, he should absolutely still be rearfacing. The AOE makes a tolerable rearfacing seat and will fit in the Tucson. At his age, he is 500% more likely to be injured or even killed in an accident as a forward facing rider. We like to see kids rear face to the limits of the convertible.


In your shoes, I would immediately turn him rear facing and keep him that way until the twins are born, at which point I would plan on putting him in a forward facing Radian with a SafeSeat on either side.
