1997 Expedition without 3rd row...need to put 3 car seats in back seat

[mdaniels27]

I have a 5 year old (just turned 5) who is 44" and 60 pounds, a 16 month old that is 32" and 30 pounds, and am pregnant with our third. I need to put all 3 carseats in the back of our Expedition. Do you have any suggestions for safe carseats that would all fit in the back without being too squished? I would like to keep my 16 month old rear facing as long as possible and my 5 year old in a 5-point harness...he is just not mature enough to sit properly in a regular booster with a car seat.

I have been looking into the Recaro ProSport for my 5 year old since it's 5-point harness goes to 90lbs and the Recaro ProRide for my daughter. Any thoughts on those?

Thanks in advance!!

That back seat is pretty big... you should be able to do pretty much anything. I have a friend with a 2000 Expedition, she's a foster mom and we've done a LOT of configurations back there and I've never had any issues. The most recent that comes to mind are 2 Nautilus' and a Cosco HBB. I've also had a RF Scenera and a RF Marathon 65 in place of the Cosco so it's pretty roomy.
