Question HELP!! Need to fit 3 carseats in a dodge charger!

[alex8582]

Hi I have a 2011 dodge charger. I also have 3 kids ages 5, 5, and 6 (2 of the kids are my husbands and come over every weekend) Getting a bigger car is not an option right now, I need the narrowest carseats available plus the safest under $100 because we would have to buy 3. one of the 5yr olds weighs about 45lbs 6yr old 45lbs and 5yr old 40lbs. Please can anyone suggest any carseats please. Thanks

What seats do you have now? Are any of the kids developmentally ready to ride in belt-positioning boosters?

Does the 2011 Charger have headrests in all positions? I'm assuming so, but just need to check.

It LOOKS like fixed but tall outboard and adjustable in the middle (but I can check at work Monday )

It's wider than it looks.

If the kids can sit nicely in boosters and you have 3 headrests i would do 3 Bubblebums or 3 Harmony LBBs. If not 3 headrests or you require harnessed seats I would consider the Harmony defender.

Hi and welcome to car-seat.org! I hope you'll stick around!

I agree with the above. All of the kids are within the age range to be ready for boosters. and they're all heavy enough. If they are ready, I'd go with 3 narrower boosters like the Harmony Youth Booster. If you would prefer to have your kiddo that is with you all the time in a high back, you could probably do that with something like the Graco Turbo, Evenflo Big Kid Amp, or similar.

Knowing that all three seats have headrests helps. Thanks.

I agree that three seats such as Bubble Bums or LiteRiders would probably be a good choice (at least for the two who are not "every day" riders).
