The baby is now really too big for the infant seat so we will switch to the baby being RF in a Radian and my oldest will get a Graco Highback Turbo Booster. 2littlepumpkins on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744496 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 19:10:08 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2744496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sauerkraut: yes right now we have our RF in back of the passenger because DH can't drive with it behind him! We were just talking about getting one of those! To everyone else, thank you so much for sharing!! It is really helpful to have a list of seats to look into. Some websites address this but they often will say 3 convertibles or 3 infant seats, etc., plus it's nice to know it works from someone who does it! skipra on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744479 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 17:42:25 +0000 skipra 2744479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 3 across in a Honda Pilot, which we bought because our old car did not allow 3 across. We almost got a CRV instead of our old car and if we had, we would have just gotten new car seats to fit 3 across. I think if you have the Chicco Keyfit and Diono Radians they should all fit. I don't know about the narrow FF to booster seats but looks like PP have given some good options.

Maxi Cosi Mico (infant) behind the driver, FF Maxi Cosi Pria in the midle, RF Maxi Cosi Pria behind the passenger.They puzzle together well, but i think it will also be fine when I turn the RF onvertible FF. If not, I'll switch the middle convertible to a high back booster, and move to the following configuration: booster behind driver, move the kid in the RF convertible to the FF convertible, and move the baby to the RF convertible. lilteacherbee on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744456 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 16:13:04 +0000 lilteacherbee 2744456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have 3 across in both vehicles (mid size SUV and sedan). My 3.5 year old is FF in a Diono Radian (we flipped him a couple months shy of 3). The 22 month old is RF in a Graco Size4Me and the newborn is in a chicco keyfit. We'll pass down the toddler's Graco when the baby is ready for it and buy a second Diono. sauerkraut on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744455 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 16:09:58 +0000 sauerkraut 2744455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @2littlepumpkins: I'm pretty sure the forward facing is behind the passenger seat. Those dionos are so long when installed RF that one of those was in the middle, although I believe they also have some kind of angle adjuster so the RF install doesn't extend quite so far towards the front of the car. babybunnylove on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744440 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:35:05 +0000 babybunnylove 2744440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I recently got a Graco tranzitions based on recommendations from others on here for FF small seat. We love it so far! My DD loves it and so we do. catgirl on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744436 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:24:52 +0000 catgirl 2744436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @2littlepumpkins: it's a combination seat (harness to high back booster to no back booster). It's just as narrow as the diono. Since the diono generally doesn't make a usable booster there would be no sense in having three. It's also a lot cheaper. 2littlepumpkins on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744426 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:16:29 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2744426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @catgirl: I've never heard of the harmony defender.. off to google that, thank you! catgirl on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744412 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:05:39 +0000 catgirl 2744412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would try to start with an infant seat, the chicco keyfit is one of the narrowest. Then pass down one Diono and purchase a harmony defender for your oldest (I believe your oldest is forward facing). Also installing all three seats with the seat belt will give you the most room. 2littlepumpkins on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744409 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:02:58 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2744409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sauerkraut: awesome, is the forward facing in the middle? 2littlepumpkins on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744406 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 15:02:31 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2744406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bees_knees: ooooh t y!! @birdofafeather: @Mamatimes3: awesome!! I think another radian would go but I'm wondering if we can do an infant seat in the beginning since they're so convenient (if baby is ok with them anyway!)

My mom has 3 across in her CRV (same combo). It definitely fits. bees_knees on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744388 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 14:33:48 +0000 bees_knees 2744388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @2littlepumpkins: Dionos Radians are $130 off right now on Amazon...just FYI :) birdofafeather on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744382 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 14:16:53 +0000 birdofafeather 2744382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @2littlepumpkins: i have a few friends who have 3 in a CRV and we plan on having 3 in an outback when the time comes. friends have dionos and we have cleks. sauerkraut on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744378 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 14:02:06 +0000 sauerkraut 2744378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents have three diono radians in the back of a kia soul - two rear facing, one front. They previously had two of the dionos and an Evenflow infant seat on a base back there. Not sure if there's a big size difference between the two vehicles, but I'd at least give it a shot with the seats you have now. 2littlepumpkins on "Who has 3 across (car seats)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-3-across-car-seats#post-2744370 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 13:47:15 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2744370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Care to share details? We have a small family car (CRV) but prefer not to get a bigger one. Kids are in Diono Radian R120s. Technically dd could move to a booster by then but prefer not to. Is there hope for us?? :silly:
