3 seats in a Dodge Caravan maybe?

[Lovatic24]

My family just bought a 2010 Grand Caravan with fold n go seating. I have a Sureride, a securekid 400, and just ordered a Milestone. I was wondering if I could fit all three of them in the third row with the sureride and milestone RF and the securekid FF.

Since the milestone is not here yet, I want to know if it is possible to fit them all in the third row or if I need to use one of the captains chairs. (I will never have more than three of the children in my siggy at one time.)

Highly doubtful. I'm pretty sure I've read that the Sureride doesn't work outboard. I haven't seen anything about the Milestone. The 3rd row is also super narrow. I think it's unlikely that the Milestone will puzzle well with the SecureKid.

If the Milestone works outboard, maybe you could install the Sureride with lower anchors and load both RFers through the tailgate?

I have installed the sureride outboard, it is just a bit tilted.

I thought the Sureride wasn't able to fit front to back in that spot. Is yours reclined correctly?

Yes it is. The seats slide forwards and backwards. We have the SXT model if that matters.

I also have a 2010 DGC and it's the SXT as well. We have had it 5 years and it's served us pretty well.
Three seats across the third row? Nope. Sorry.

Are you talking about the captains chairs sliding forward and back? Yes, they can. You are supposed to have them all the way back if installing a carseat in the capt. chair, though. (I can't remember if that is a dodge guideline or a carseat manual guideline.) It's so that you can't accidentally introduce slack by having a seat installed with the capt chair forward. Later, should you move the captains chair back there is slack in the seatbelt.
If you are not using a carseat in the captain's chair in front of the sureride then perhaps it doesn't not matter if it is scooted forward some or all of the way.

Yes, I would be sitting in front of the sureride. aept, have ou been able to fit two carseats and a person in the third row? I'm 5'5" and 135lbs and wondering if I could fit in between any of the seats mentioned above.

You might be able to fit. I haven't tried those seats to know, but I have fit a 75lb kid on a bubblebum between two seats. I've also fit two adults (ladies about your size) on the sides with a Britax parkway in the middle. They were a little squished but did fit ok for a 2 hour drive.
Try for both RF seats installed outboard because at least you should have sufficient shoulder room for yourself in the middle.

Will do! When it gets warmer, its currently 10 degrees outside
