yes they are only 17 inches wide. i have 2 right now and could definitly fit another carseat if i needed to. also it is not too terribly uncomfortable for me to sit next to them...and im no small thing. i think an 11 year old should be able to fit comfortably next to them.

We had a 12 year old (no kind of car seat), the radian in the middle, and a 10 year old in the Fisher Price Safe Voyage Booster (narrowest booster seat we could find). This fits but not much extra room for strapping in the booster. I think 3 of these seats would fit but the middle would be hard to keep it stable (the Versa has a little middle bump-they advertise it as a 3 seater for a small adult).

Hi Mom of Two!I have a quick but desperate question. We just bought a 2008 highlander 6 months ago, then found out I was pregnant. Does you 2nd row seat have the removable center seat? I am having an impossible time finding a way to put a booster, a carseat forward facing and a rear facing seat in the 2nd row. How did you do it, or do you have a different kind of second row?Thanks,rochelle

Hi, What year highlander do you have? I am wondering if the radian would fit in the middle seat (we have the model where the middle seat can be removed)? I am looking to put a Radian XT rearfacing in the middle, a boulevard on one side and a monterrey booster on the other side.Thanks!rochelle

Yes, it does fit. We have a Highlander and two Radian seats along with an infant Chicco rear-facing base/car seat. It is a tight fit but definitely fits.

I have had mine three in a row, with one of those an infant seat, in a Dodge Dakota, which would be comparable to a small SUV. The infant seat has a wider base, so I think it is definitely doable, though it might be a tight fit and difficult to install the seats three in a row. HTH.

Do you think that you could fit three of these similar car seats in the back? My husband would like to buy a versa, but we would need to have three of these in the backseat and we're not sure it would fit when just measuring the car at the dealership, where we thought it might with a Honda Fit (just barely), though I know he'd rather have the versa. With your 2 seats in, how much actual hip room does your 11 year old have, is it enough for another 17 in seat? Thanks a bunch!

We have been considerign purchasing this, can anyone attest to the true smaller size this posts. I just bought a Nissan Versa and thought 3 kids would fit comfortably in the back seat (not quite). We currently have the Evenflo Triumph, Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster, and an 11 year old that gets squeezed wherever she fits. The kids are actually 3, 9, and 11. The 9 year old still needs the booster-he is only 60 pounds. I am considering purchasing this car seat but only if I can get all three kids comfortable in the back seat. This would replace the Triumph.

According to their website, you can only use one carseat attachment for Chicco seats. Read their list carefully because not all carseats can be used with the attachment. Which annoys me because the carseat I plan to get, can't be used with the attachment at all.

I was wondering the same thing! I am trying to decide between the Graco Nautilus and the britax. I really like the extra "snacky" features of the Nautilus because I know what my 5 year old uses. (This seat would be for my 1 year old.) Input from anyone who knows about these carseats would be appreciated!

We bought another seat so we have one in each car. We had to do it this way with our daycare drop offs; daddy does am, mommy does pm. Good luck!

I have 3 year old twin boys, one is taller than the other. These seats are well built, but they take up alot of room. I have a Lexus LX470 and GX470, the seats fit in the 3rd of of the LX, but they are really too big to fit in 3rd row of GX. I think they are well made, just very big.

From the photos and our experience with the prior models, this adapter works with only one car seat. The other side includes a non-removable snack tray and lacks the supports for another Chicco seat. You cannot use more than one of these adapters at a time, so it appears that you cannot use two Keyfit seats in the Duallie. I have never seen an adapter that allows use of two car seats in the Duallie (but I'm not saying it does not exist)... You might need to call Bob to confirm.

I only have one for my grandson and I drive a Toyota Rav4. I think that it would fit 2 car seats but there would no room for anything else. I hope this helps.

I think you would have a hard time fitting two of these with an infant seat as well. Sometimes the body of the seat prevents the base of the seat from installing correctly This is our current issue with my husband's Saturn L100. We are having to do two Radians from Diono and our Graco snug ride infant car seat to fit our three across the back.

Yes, this seat may be used in the rear-facing position for a newborn baby that is over 5 lbs. Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately). However, you may find an "infant carseat" more satisfactory and/or convenient for the first six months of your baby's life, as they are portable. We moved up to the Britax Advocate 70-G3 when our baby out-grew her "infant seat". Furthermore, if expense is key and you can not aford to buy two carseats, infant seat and convertable seat, then get the convertable seat as it will last you the longest and it is the best value for your money.

Not sure about that specific car type but my husband, myself, & mom mom all have small SUV's & if say that 3 in a row would fit in all of our backseats.

The car seats can face the same way and be clicked in for safety only if you use one Graco carseat and one Chicco carseat. The Graco connections face the opposite direction as the Chicco connections, so if you buy one of each, they can face the same direction while still being snapped in. This stroller is excellent. Very sturdy and well made. We love that we can push it up to a table in a restaurant and both babies can face us.

We have a Mercedes R350, more of a cross over. We opted to not get the center seat but a console instead. There is ample room for a third to fit with room to spare. Our sister cared for our kids for several days while we were away. She has a Mini-Coop, certainly a compact car. Three would fit across her back seat. They are only slightly wider than those cheap booster you can pick-up anywhere. We have 2 of these as well for back-ups. In the Mini Coop with 3 across, I don't think you would be able to use all of the built-in cup holders but you might be able to use one cup holder on each seat if positioned correctly. Hope this helps as they are comfortable and safe seats. The ability to fold them flat when removed makes them great to change between vehicles and for travel.

It fits well in a mid size car but when using forward facing, I don't think you could fit three. Maybe two with an infant carrier in between but doubtful

I have not tried to get 3 RadianRXTs in the back of my car but I can get 2 Radians and one Chicco Key Fit 30 in my tiny Prius.

2 of these can easily fit in highlander, i am not sure about the other SUVs (smaller ones, i guess you can fit, however take the exact width measurement and check in ur SUV. If you are space constrained, pls dont go with this as this is bulky. We use to keep this at the center and two people can sit beside the car seat(earlier ones). With this one we have to move it to the side so that one another person can sit comfortably.

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:) Hello.

It should fit no problem. we have 4 recaro's in our minivan, and 4 in our Honda Pilot. they are large car seats, so we were unable to fit 3 across, but 2 can fit well in a back seat. we had an BMW x5 before and we fit 2 of them with no problems. the are excellent seats and I recommend them to everyone. I purchased two of these for my 4 and 6 year old because I felt the 5 point harness was more secure than a booster. they are well made, solid seats. Hope this helps.
