We will be having a third child next February. Our first child is 5 and our second is 2. We currently have a Graco Nautilus for the first and a Maxi Cosi Priori for the second. We have a Chicco KeyFit 30 in storage (which was used when the second was an infant). Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think these three seats will fit in the back of a Volkswagen rabbit/golf (particularly when we upgrade the maxi Cosi Priori to something bigger. I am ready to buy new car seats if need be.
If these three models will indeed not fit in the back, and assuming we want to keep the Volkswagen:
1) will I need to replace the nautilus with something narrower? Should I just buy two of the same new narrower car seat and use it with my two kids (who will be almost 6 and almost 3 when the third kid is born). I like symmetry, so I would be ok buying the same narrower car seats for both of them.
2) once I buy the two new car seats for the older two kids, can I still use the Chicco KeyFit for the third kid when he/she is born?
3) if you advice me to keep the nautilus and just replace the maxi Cosi with the car seat you recommend in point 1) above, will I be able to use the Chicco KeyFit?
4) until when will I be able to use the Chicco KeyFit for the third? And will I be able to replace it with the old maxi Cosi Priori when the third turns one year old in early 2014, or should I assume that, when my kids are almost 7, almost 4, and 1, it will simply be impossible to use three car seats in the back of the rabbit/golf (and which point I would then buy a new car)
Thanks
