I need to fit DS, DD, and my cousin in the backseat of my 2003 Mazda protege. DS is 46# and 44" tall, DD is between 18-20# and I don't know how tall but wearing 18 months clothing, and my cousin is 11 and a few inches short than me (I'm 5'9"). I have a touriva, comfort sport, nautilus, turbo booster, and a true fit. Do you think I can fit the 3 back there. If not my cousin can ride in the front but I would prefer the back.

I think you should be able to do the baby rearfacing center in the Touriva/Comfortsport, DS outboard in the Turbobooster and cousin outboard on the other side.

We have a 2000 Protege, so not sure if its the same as yours, but I have fit 3 across many many times in ours, including two rf Britax seats and a booster.

Cool, thanks for the info. I only have the turbo, nautilus, and true fit at our new house but I will just pick up the touriva from my ils tonight. The only problem is DS will want to stay in the turbo full time if I left him ride in it tomorrow. Can I latch the touriva in or should I use a seat belt.

Mazda protege allows center LATCh installation only if the CRS manufacturer allows a non-standard installation. Dorel allows center LATCH with non-standard spacing if the venicle manufacturer allows it...so yes, you can use LATCH in the center.

He rides in a turbo in DH's car, grandma's car, the babysitter's car , and anyone else's car he might ride in. He rides in the nautilus in mine because we drive close to 100 miles total for me to get to work 2 or 3 days a week. He will be 5 in 2 months but I don't really want him to think that he can ride in a booster in my car because he already complains about the harness all the time.
