convertible to puzzle with Frontier 90

Thanks to responses I got about the Click Tight instal on the Frontier 90, I think that's what we're getting for my 3.5 year old.

Now, I'm looking for a convertible that puzzles with the Frontier 90. I have a one year old and, ideally, I'd like to be able to put the two kids next to each other so an adult can also ride in the back seat. Do any of the Britax convertibles puzzle (RFing) with the Frontier 90? If not, do any seats of other brands? Thanks!

In my car the Radian XTSL puzzles wonderfully next to the FR 90. It's really tight but I can even fit 2 Radians RF with a FR 90 in the middle of them.

Any other suggestions? I'd be so appreciative, especially if anyone has tried a Britax convertible RFing next to the FR90.

Thanks for the replies. I hesitate to get a Radian because I've read they can be difficult to install properly. I'm not great with installs and don't have anyone local who is able to check the seat. (I live overseas, but drive a US spec car, requiring a US car seat.)

I like the look of the Nextfit, but it looks really wide. I've been unable to find dimensions, so if anyone can share where to find them, that would be very helpful.

Britax convertibles fit too. I'm not on WiFi so I can't upload the picture at the moment.

Jessica61624, thanks for the great photo! Could I ask what model car you have? I'm excited to see that you have three across, but wonder how big your back seat is!

Jessica 61624, thanks for the great photos! It is so helpful to see the seats next to each other. I've been searching the internet for such photos with no luck!

Would you say one seat fits better over another (Blvd vs. Nextfit)? I definitely like the price of the Blvd better! Will they both fit next to the Frontier forward facing? (It will be a while before we need to do this, but I'd like it to work.)

her back seat is a pain in the booty for sure.

I've gotten rf radians, rf nextfit and rf boulevard next to the frontier 90. Those are the only convertibles I have. Both setups have worked in the 2006 toyota sienna second row and a 2006 subaru impreza.

@Jessica61624, does the Nextfit fit forward facing as well? What about a Britax convertible both rear and forward facing?

I can try tonight. I haven't tried yet. I don't have a nextfit anymore. Cryssy has helped me many times and I know she hates my back seat! From bolster to bolster I have 43in. I personally liked the fit of the nextfit better. It could depend in your back seat.

That would be GREAT! I like the Nextfit better than a Britax convertible because it would last me longer rear facing but I honestly don't think that will work with my back seat. I think a MA70 will fit next to a FR90 just fine RF but I need it to fit FF as well.

I can do a nextfit and fr90 later this afternoon if that helps. I have both but we are crazy busy this morning. Jess has my boulevard so maybe she can do that one.

FYI, all the non-classic Britax convertibles are the same shell. So if a Blvd 70 fits, so will a Marathon70 or Roundabout 55 which are cheaper. The Roundabout doesn't have the no-rethread harness and is outgrown by height sooner forward facing. The Marathon doesn't have the extra foam headwings, but otherwise is the same as the Blvd. All last the same time rf. The NextFit is taller than them for rf by 2" so it lasts a lot longer for tall kids.
