Yep - we even managed it in my mum's tiny Mitsubishi Colt, altho it was definitely a squeeze! We put the rear facing one in the middle and the gremlins forward facing on either side.
If it's going to be a permanent arrangement I'd seriously look at upsizing tho, we got a people mover when I had the gremlins (under duress - I had a VW Polo at the time and was devastated at having to get rid of it!) and it has been really handy having the extra room, especially with lil miss arriving so soon after them. It also means if Maya has school friends over etc. there's room for them in the car. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Okey dokes so it is possible?
to explain myself: This sounds a little over the top/dreamy/waaay to forward planning but we are considering TTC #2 around about now lol. Thing is, twins are very strong in both of our families. While I know the chances of us having twins as well are incredibly slim, it would change the situation a bit as we couldn't upgrade our car just yet. We are both young (under 25), with a mortgage, living off one steady income and both want to add to our family sooner rather then later. We could easily manage 1 more, but two so soon after Hollie would be incredibly difficult. It sounds silly but it's the difference in trying now and waiting a year lol. Everything else, we could find a way around
