Super cool 3-across (s4m, dreamtime, literider)

I think this may be my favorite ever 3-across!

The buckle for the middle booster is on the left side so no more checking to see if someone has unbuckled the harness seat.

Also when I run my errands when DS1 is in the school I can slide the literider in the back and slide DD's dreamtime over. So excellent!

I haven't found another seat that I can do this with (including the roundabout 50/marathon 65)

And I take it back about the s4m. That buckle is....just...awful. Its back out of the car after about 2 days in it. I can't deal with it. My mom nor sister can buckle or unbuckle it and my fingers are sore from forcing it. The nhsta can have it. I am done.

If it is really the only seat that works well in your 3 across, what about getting a buckle bopper to help you unbuckle? Not that I think you should have to be able to use one to unbuckle a seat, and it is driving me crazy that they haven't done something about this buckle issue (and I don't even have a graco seat!) Just trying to figure out a way for you to keep your convienent 3 across :)

This was an accidental bump. The nhtsa has this seat and I have a different brand seat that will unbuckle everytime. It's not quite as nice a setup but really I just need a bigger car.

gotcha!

Hopefully this buckle issue gets fixed soon! I hesitate to recommend this seat to anyone, excpet someone who really does need the rear facing height.
