Hellobee Boards

We have a Subaru Legacy with 3 in the back. It is a TIGHT fit but totally doable. We have a Graco Affix booster, a Graco Snugride, and a Graco Tranzitions. We've been waiting until this car is paid off, then we'll be getting an SUV later this year--we're thinking the Mazda CX-9.

@autumn865: oh, i've been very interested in that one because of the fact you can keep the car seat on there to access the 3rd row! seems like the best of both worlds where you may not nee the 3rd row all the time, but when you do, it's easy to use!

Right now I'm driving a Dodge Grand Caravan. It's fine but I'm still getting used to my oldest being in the third row. Kind of a pain to get back there to check that he's buckled right with 2 rear facing car seats. I do love the remote doors and trunk but trunk space is kind of tight with the third row in use. Still a new car for me so I can't say much more.
Previously I had a Honda Pilot. I loved being able to have all 3 in the second row and my oldest could help with the youngest or even middle siblings. Trunk space was great with the third row down. Problems were that once the baby grew out of the bucket seat you could only access the third row by the trunk, leg room in third row is tight especially with RF car seats in second row, it is HUGE to drive and gets terrible mileage. With all that said, I think Honda is the best when it comes to placement options for car seats.

We also use a Subaru Outback and it fits our 3 seats fine and is great to drive. If we didn't need the third row quite often it would absolutely be my everyday car!

@Mrsbells: WOw! Congrats on baby #3!

We drive the Honda because I can fit all three across in the middle.

We have a three year old and twin 3 month olds and have a Honda Odyssey. All three are in the second row, two infant buckets and a diono radian, it’s tight but they fit like a dream. We were originally going to put our oldest in the third row but I hated the idea of having to climb in and buckle him. We love both the car and the seat we have and plan and getting the twins diono’s when the time comes.

This post has been SO helpful! We do have 3 kids across in our Subaru Outback & our older model Mitsubishi Outback (one convertible, one infant, & one high back 5 point booster/ combo seat). It works but it's getting harder and harder to not feel claustrophobic and get the growing baby wedged into the middle seat. We're actually car shopping this weekend - we were thinking mini van for sure but now I'm going to check out some of these 3 row SUVs too (especially the Atlas!)

@YogiRunner: We love our Outback too and now I am really drooling over the new Subaru option w/ 3 rows. THANK YOU!
