Question Acura RDX - Three Seats

Help! I have a six year old son and twins coming next month. I bought Graco Sungride's for the twins and now there is barely any room for my older son in the middle of the backseat. I either have to find narrower infant seats (and a compatible double stroller) or a super narrow booster for him.

In my state legally he isn't required to be in a seat, but as a mother I can't bare to take a risk like that with my precious childs life.

This whole situation is making me sick. How am I going to fit all of them SAFELY in the car and still have a compatible double stroller?

The Baby Trend Flex-locs and Chicco Keyfits are the narrowest infant seats. That does complicate things on the stroller front.

There is a double Snap N Go for the BabyTrends. Not sure what other seats might work with the SNG. And when they outgrow the BabyTrends (or whatever seat you end up with), you will need to get another stroller.

With twins, they are often early and small, so the KeyFit would be a better choice for your babies. The BabyTrend has a 5 pound minimum, though it does seem to fit small babies well. Just don't wait till the last minute, since you never know when the babies might decide to come

Once they outgrow the seats they can move to a double Maclaren or whatever anyway. They'll be plenty old enough. There are plenty of double frames that will work with just about any infant seat. That's what I'd do on that front.

You can try out different seats and see if you can find some that puzzle with your booster (or with any booster that will fit your son properly.)

As a fellow mom of twins you definitely want a double snap and go and can probaby find one at thru you local twins club or CL used. New they are about $100. They come with bars and instructions on how to fit a myriad of infant carrier car seats. You can call Baby Trend and they can direct you as to what works. So if you want to go with one of the seats the PP mentioned, there is a high likelihood the double SNG will work. Forget the stoopid travel systems, IMO

We had Snugrides and yes they do take up a lot of room (almost the entire backseat of my 2001 Acura TL). My smallest dd was just 5 pounds when we left the hopsital when they were 5 days old. I did love the snugirdes, but at 7 months I got tired of lugging the SRs and even though we could have stayed in them waaay longer, I moved the twins rear facing in to Britax roundabouts and into a double umbrella stroller (Combi Twin Saavy). We are 2y3m and still in the RAs. (and still in the Combi stroller) The RAs took up less room width-wise across the back than he snugrides.

It is tough fitting twins and another passenger of any size into the same back seat, but these posters are so knowlegable I am sure they will help you find a great fit to keep all 3 of your little ones safe.

Good luck!
