Three in a row, 2015 Highlander

Raena750 · Oct 14, 2020

Hi Everyone,

Looking for advice on seats for a 2015 Highlander, middle row is a bench seat. Due with my 3rd next year. Trying to avoid using the 3rd row bench seat if I can as I use the trunk space quite a bit.

I will have a 4yr old FF in a Clek Foonf.
I will need a high back booster for my 7yr old (who will be 8) and an infant carseat.
*I do have a Clek Fllo I could use for FF instead of the Foonf if needed.

I know the Highlander doesn't support center latching and that I can't put the booster in the middle of the seats.

Wondering what seats might be recommend that are more narrow? I have always had Clek and Chicco seats. I like Diono, Nuna, and Maxi Cosi as well but am open to any ideas for seats that could fit and are on the higher end of safety ratings. My family is short so leg space and height isn't much concern lol. I do worry the Clek Oobr won't be comfortable, my 7yr is using the Foonf currently and feels like his legs go numb. I like the Chicco KidFit, but would it be too wide? For infant I like the Liing, have had keyfit in the past and like the price range better. But the keyfit I remember being wider too?

Thank you!!!

The Keyfit is decently narrow. The Lling is a little more. I think you could do a Keyfit if the booster next to it was sufficiently narrow.

The Oobr is not narrow, particularly at the base. I would look at the Maxi-Cosi Rodifix or Peg Perego Flex 120 for buckling in a tight 3 across
