Question 3 Across 2003 Jeep Liberty

[Cocobe]

We are taking a trip and will have a 2003 Jeep Liberty when we get there. It has an incredibly small back seat. We currently have a Snugride 30, a Coccoro FF, and a My Ride 65 FF. We don't want to take the My Ride with us (it's huge!). What other car seats would fit in the Liberty best with the Snugride and Coccoro? My almost 5 yo is 41 in. and 33.8 lbs. Also what would be the best placement for the seats? Thanks!

The back seat is bigger than it looks . The Coccoro works great in the Liberty. I never tried a SnugRide 30, but I did have a 22 that worked well. An Evenflo Maestro would probably work well outboard on the passenger seat for the oldest with the other two going wherever they puzzle best. I have done several 3 acrosses that included a high back Turbo Booster in the passenger outboard seat with either a Coccoro or a Radian center and a Recaro Como FF (pretty wide) driver side outboard.

That makes me feel a little better that the highback turbo booster fit. I don't really want to buy the radian since the my ride works so great for home. Any other seats that would be a good fit?

I really think you can get by with the Coccoro, SnugRide and a narrow combination seat. I was able to get a Frontier 85 and the Coccoro side by side so I bet a seat that has flatish sides like the Harmony Defender or the Safety 1st Go or possibly the Maestro would work passenger side with the Coccoro center and the Snugride driver side outboard. All 3 seats have tether anchors and seat belt installs with the center locking latch plate are easy.
