3 across in 99 Altima?

[NannyMom]

Is it possible? We need 3 rear facing seats: 2 2year olds and a newborn. 3 radians don't fit, mostly because of the contoured seatbacks. They own 2 true fits and a Pacifica. They are willing to buy new seats, but it needs to be as inexpensive as possible.

A million years ago, I had a Gerry 2 in 1, a Snugride (the old one with the knob base) and a Evenflo Medallion OHS in that car. Then, 999,999 year ago I replaced the SR and the medallion with a rfing Marathon and rfing Roundabout. Then the RA became a Britax Laptop, and the 2 in 1 a Futura.

All this to say, it's possible. Maybe try two clones outboard? Oh wait, are the TrueFits the anti-rebound ones?

True fits are both anti rebound. 1 is premiere and the other is the newer SI. They won't even fit in the car with a radian center. She's not interested in a RFO seat, but would use and leave it in the car if that's what's needed.

I have on hand that we'll try:
My ride, sr32, tribute, classic roundabout 50, radians

Oh lordy. I unfortunately know EXACTLY how hard this is because we used to have a 99 Altima. I think it is probably impossible. I'd say that your best bet is a Radian in the center and two classic Britax convertibles outboard. I think the classic Roundabout 50 is a really really good bet. I think that the 3 across we managed was a Radian RF in the center, another FF outboard, and a Compass infant seat outboard. I never was super comfortable with it, but the installations were all technically correct and independently tight.

Other vehicle is a 2011 Honda civic. They only need 3 across in 1 car

 

[jjordan]

I'm not super-familiar with the 2011 civic, but I doubt it would be any harder than the altima! The way the altima seats are contoured makes 3 across a real challenge, and then it also has quite long buckle stalks which makes it difficult to install some seats (like radians). Also the seat bight is weird, which is not good for a RF radian.

Radian/MyRide combination is a dream for narrowness. I might try Radian, MyRide, TrueFit and if that doesn't fit you could try a second MR (or Radian, if the 2yos don't fit in the MR.)

Any idea if the new Diono seats still work wonderfully with the My Ride? Since they're a tad wider at top
