I'm sure I have read on here of people with these station wagons who have fit 3 in the backseat? If so, which carseats do you have? I love my Atenza wagon and really really don't want to have to get rid of it but atm there is no way I'll fit another seat in the back. I have DD in a Supernanny booster with sash belt and DS is in an old S & S which is really wide. So I'm guessing I'll need another convertible seat for him plus one for the new baby. Any ideas? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

I have a mazda3, which I presume is a bit smaller? I've currently got 2 radians RF, one in the middle at the back and one behind the drivers seat. We could have put the second one on either side without moving the centre radian, so I presume we could put 3 radians in a row in the back. Especially if one or two of them are forward facing.
Hope that helps  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We have a mazda 6 s/w, with a phil and teds booster in the middle and 2 s&s's (one either side). It is a tight squeeze but they fit ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Im due in oct too, i have a subaru forrester
Plan on putting miss5 in middle (with harness into boot thing attached to lap belt) on a half booster sunshine brand from kmart was $29.99 very narrow. miss 3 on one side in harnessed booster skep brand (knock of phil & teds xt) and baby in capsule/base properly safety1st brand on winkalotts, but guna buy it locally must go down and see if it fits. good luck have you been to local plunket to try before you buy scheme on carseats? |

We have a Mazda Atenza hatch and ive had my radian rear facing in the middle and a S&S rear facing behind the passenger seat, with plenty of room for a third carseat behind the driver seat.
Congrats on the pregnancy too  -------------

Thanks everyone! Kiwigal, yeah that's what I said too 
I guess I'll need to go and try different options to make sure they fit. In my research it seems that the radian and S&S Compaq are the narrowest so I'll start with them ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Oh also ment to say that DD age 3 is in a cosco carseat, forward facing, it rear faces till 16kg I think thou, and is narrow/high in the base and at $189-$199 much cheaper option than some of the others.
here is the newer version of what I have http://www.babyonthemove.co.nz/Cosco-Scenera-Stone |

I have fitted two convertibles FF and a half booster in my car, half booster in the centre, HARD to do up seatbelt but doable and at the time I had a skyline. Would you be able to try putting a convertible seat RFing for #3 in the middle? Oh or a capsule and base do you think? ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
